Four decades full of dedication and experience – Thank you, Jochen Weber!
Jochen has been part of our team since 1985 – making him not just a long-term employee, but a true part of the company's history.
His journey began with an apprenticeship as a mechanic – and led him over many years to burner construction, where he continues to impress with his expertise, calm demeanor, and tireless dedication.
What sets Jochen apart?
Reliability, experience, and a holistic view. Especially in production planning, he has been ensuring smooth processes for years – with great sensitivity and technical precision.
A look at Jochen's personnel file tells a story: from the Deutschmark and typewriters to the digital age. A symbol of how much has changed – and how valuable consistency is! This loyalty and commitment deserve our utmost respect!
Dear Jochen, thank you for 40 years of loyalty, dedication, and passion. You are a role model for many – and we look forward to the next years together with you!
