Moments of pleasure spiced with exciting guest speakers

The first azado event in the new showroom was all about celebrating life and its moments of pleasure. While the azado grills were being brought up to temperature, guests started an exciting evening with a champagne aperitif and culinary appetizers. The first morsel of entertainment was provided by guest speaker Werner Tschan, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of St.Gallen's Galifa Holding AG. With great verve, he told anecdotes from his eventful and long-standing entrepreneurial life, providing some smiles along the way. As a bridge to azado, he brought into play the excellent Swiss quality and perfection, innovative spirit and absolute passion that are as central to Galifa's custom-made premium comfort lenses as they are to azado's durable luxury grills.

Meanwhile, the charcoal glowed and the azado grills ran hot all evening to pamper guests with a wide variety of delicacies. Among other things, Choripan sausages in bread fan, veal fish on lentil salad with bacon, roast beef with potato cubes or juicy Wagyu burgers on crispy chimichurri paillasse were served. The delicacies disappeared so quickly from the trays that azado Gaucho Nahuel barely made it to the back rows. Those who needed a pick-me-up in between found their way to Barista Claudio from Turm Kaffee, who conjured up freshly brewed coffee creations in his stylish Piaggio bar.

As a "middle course", Ivo Forster, CEO of FC St.Gallen Event AG, described the challenges that a football club has to overcome in these extraordinary times - including the resumption of events. Despite all adversities, he began to enthuse when he spoke of the countless positive reactions and support from the public and fans. Despite, or precisely because of, the difficult situation, more season tickets were sold in the new stadium than ever before. As a convinced Azador from the very beginning, he also drew parallels between FCSG and azado and emphasized the importance of building trust with partners. With quality and honesty, but also by not only living tradition, but by continuously driving innovation on this basis. Or, in football jargon: it is essential to always stay on the ball.

Spontaneous auction in favor of Future Champs Ostschweiz

The positive vibes from the audience were immediately noticeable a short time later. And so the match ball, signed by the entire FCSG team, was not raffled off as originally planned, but was auctioned off in favor of Future Champs Ostschweiz. Thanks to the co-bidding of the two companies Bruderer Wohnen, represented by Andreas Bruderer, and Bohnenblust Gips AG, represented by Wolfgang Stieger, one thousand francs will go towards promoting young talent for future champions.

azado presents world novelty

But azado also had a surprise up its sleeve. Managing Director Andreas Nöckl proudly presented the latest innovation from the azado manufactory. Probably the first 3D-printed outdoor kitchen made of concrete with an integrated azado grill. A filigree and organically curved construction that frames the chrome steel grill and skillfully showcases it. Another example of how a traditional building material, thanks to digitalization and the latest technology, suddenly gains a wide range of new applications and endless design possibilities. (Details will be available in the upcoming blog post or you can admire the new outdoor kitchen in our showroom from now on.)

And then, unexpectedly, another St.Galler match ball was up for grabs. The person who could most accurately guess the production time of the 3D print, which was exactly 42.5 minutes, became the happy owner of the second game ball.

Those who wished rounded off the successful evening with a full-bodied cigar, a smoky whiskey, or fine rum.

The next azado events are already planned with "Ladies, Lifestyle and Delicacies" (Wednesday, October 6, 2021) and "Blokes meet meat" (Wednesday, October 20, 2021). So keep your eyes and ears open or contact the azado team directly for more information.
