How can that be? The Machinery Division is celebrating its 100th anniversary and the training programme has existed for 20 years longer? Let’s remember that Haver & Boecker started out as a wire weaving mill back in 1887 and the Machinery Division was only founded as a second mainstay in 1925.
The Machinery Division has therefore been able to benefit from well-trained employees right from the start.
As early as 1905, the managing directors at the time recognised that sound training was the basis for long-term business success and the personal development of young people. This fundamental attitude has not changed to this day. Over the years, the economic, social and spatial conditions have changed – but not the endeavour to retain good, loyal and motivated employees through sound training. Whereas in the past the skilled workers passed on their knowledge to younger people – at that time they were almost exclusively young men – today the trainees are prepared for their tasks in the Training Centre, a state-of-the-art technical facility. In-house training at the factory and tours of all relevant departments supplement what they’ve learned at the Training Centre and vocational school. The young trainees can also broaden their professional and personal horizons by completing internships in foreign subsidiaries as part of the “Trainee Mobility” programme.
For over a century, our family-owned company has been able to develop steadily – while meeting the high quality requirements of customers for high-performance and technologically leading products and consolidating its market leadership.
Haver & Boecker tries to get young people interested in technology, the company and its products at an early age by organising “Discovery Days” for kindergarten children as well as compulsory and voluntary school internships.
