Because I care.

Perfectly organized communication talent

Perfectly organized communication talent

At what moments in my job do I feel like I'm doing something worthwhile? Every day! Because logistics is very important for the whole world - and I make my contribution as a company logistics clerk. I learned what it takes to do this during my apprenticeship. What was great about this time was not only the free food in the canteen and the great gym, but also that you learn so much as an apprentice and are never alone. There is always someone there to support you. If you find it difficult to learn, you can take advantage of tutoring. And there is a super great LAP preparation course! After completing my apprenticeship in spring 2022, I was taken on as an employee. I'm very happy about that, because it means I can continue to find solutions with my colleagues for controlling the flow of goods and information, as well as for the transport of goods and their storage. These are important economic functions that create high values. Sounds varied? It is!

In concrete terms, this means: I store parts, check goods, work in the office, where I book goods and much more. This requires organizational talent, flexibility and communication skills as well as logical and analytical thinking and patience. I actually always wanted to work in the social sector because I can deal with people very well. With this strength, I also feel quite comfortable in my current job, where I have a lot of contact with others.

Pioneer with a passion for research

I like the multi-faceted applications my company delivers. On the one hand, the Group covers the "big picture", but at the same time always keeps an eye on the details and sustainability aspects. We handle our tasks with responsibility and energy. The strong feeling of togetherness does not exclude self-development and self-determined work. We keep up with the times while at the same time are always one step ahead. That's what makes pioneers!

I think it's great that trust is placed in everyone. Praise is given and employees are actively encouraged to think for themselves. This also applies to the apprenticeship workshops, where we are actively looking to nurture the talents of tomorrow. In the team, you sense that everyone has a similar mindset. Also in terms of recycling and upcycling. You can feel the enthusiasm and conviction for what we do here.

This also applies to me, of course: I enjoy my work as a product manager in the Deinking & Water Technologies division at KEYCYCLE! By advancing technologies for removing ink from plastics and related R&D topics, I can improve the value stream, extend the value chain and make a significant contribution to the circular economy. The result is that I am fulfilling a childhood dream: back then, I wanted to become a biologist or a researcher, build drinking water treatment plants in Africa and make our earth a little better. The EREMA Group has made this possible for me.

Helpful go-getter who makes it happen

When our customers place an order for another machine, and when colleagues place their trust in me and thank me for my work, then I know: I am doing meaningful work here at EREMA and creating value for others. Also for the environment; the habitat of plants and animals that depend on the way we humans behave. Respecting people as individuals is very important to us at EREMA - in relation to the environment as well as working together within the company.

Friendliness, helpfulness and initiative are as important to me as they are to my employer. In my job, I can put these traits to good use:

As an Export Sales Assistant, I assist our customers with the complete export process, starting with the preparation of quotations and contracts, through shipment and preparing export and bank documents, to the first steps commissioning the machine. It's a job with variety thanks to many interfaces within the company, which I really enjoy.

Even some of my personal leisure activities are connected to the company: I use the company gym, meet colleagues outside work and get to travel a lot thanks to business trips and trade fairs. I immediately felt at home in this sociable, supportive and at the same time responsible and modern working atmosphere!

Calming and respectful

"Be the person who you would like to meet" is one of my guiding principles. I abide by that principle - and so does my employer 3S. I have been working here on the management team since April 2021 and have set up the apprentice workshop, among other things.

I appreciate the high level of social competence of the company and the EREMA Group. For example, apprentices are considered part of the team from a very early stage. We offer not only a secure job, but also an appreciative environment where you work independently and yet together on challenges.

I personally feel that what we are doing has meaning - because our machines can create positive things. Even as a child I enjoyed the outdoors, it is still an important source of calm for me today.

We live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world - and we need to keep it that way. Natural resources are becoming increasingly scarce. If we want to maintain our quality of life, we need to live sustainably. That is something that the EREMA Group and we at 3S contribute to.

Determined project manager and cheerful motivator

Whenever I read about recycling or watch a documentary about it, I know: I am part of it! As soon as I open up my laptop in the morning, I contribute to making the world a little better. That makes me feel really good.

As a project manager, I take a lot of responsibility - for my team, for the satisfaction of the customers and for ensuring that future generations will be able to enjoy our natural surroundings as much as I do now. I enjoy working with people and for people and seeing that everyone gets the best result. And when customers are happy because their plants are running perfectly - that's the nicest compliment for me.

I grew into my current position. Following my master's degree in plastics technology, I started working as a laboratory assistant. A little later, I switched to project management and have since been responsible for the implementation phase of customer projects together with my colleagues.

My job is varied and I work with a lot of different people every day. Evolving and growing together makes every partnership stronger. Even at work. With all the opportunities EREMA offers me, I know that we will continue to build on common ground in the future. I am sure we will create many more great things together!

Explaining bear & fan of change

As an "explaining bear", I like to tell the people around me about plastics, recycling and sustainability. This often leads to interesting, in-depth discussions. Passing on knowledge and information is also part of my work as a Process Technician at EREMA and as a training representative for commissioning technicians. It is always important to me to show others alternative ways, but not to try to change their minds. It's important to me to let everyone express their opinion. It's about being with each other, not against each other. That's the only way we can be the driving force for the circular economy and a clean world.

I find it hard to imagine working for any other company. I appreciate that it is people that are in the foreground, rather than their work or education. Here, everyone is treated with the same level of respect. And because of that, many of my colleagues have already become friends. I can also identify very well with the vision and mission. And my values are very much in line with the company's.

Standing still means step backwards - especially in terms of an important topic such as the future of our planet. It's all the more rewarding when in my job I can teach others, help them progress, so that over the long term we make a contribution to the success of the company and to global recycling.

I am fully behind my work when the projects are thought through to the end and when I see that the trainees - my new colleagues - become more independent. Especially if I then receive positive feedback from them for my work. This can cause goose bumps moments now and again.
