Because I care.

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.

Global Ambassador for Plastics Recycling

I have been traveling around the world as a commissioning technician for EREMA's "Vacunite" since October 2021. I am a trained toolmaking technician and have completed both my high school diploma  and the foreman school for mechanical engineering and industrial engineering. Training our customers and teaching them to work with our systems is what drives me. Meeting new technical and organizational challenges helps me personally and my flexibility allows me to respond to a wide variety of situations.

This is exactly where EREMA proves to be the right employer. Flexibility is one of their greatest strengths. The lively company culture and the opportunity to organize work yourself or in a team brings a lot of variety and a high degree of self-realization. You feel part of the team and valued by your colleagues. Working in plastics recycling not only brings me joy, I can also experience in real time how the world becomes a little cleaner with every plant that we put into operation.

On this point, I am on the same page as EREMA: It doesn't help to just talk about grievances, you have to tackle things. I support EREMA in creating a global circular economy and thereby creating a better future. Because we care!

Environmentally conscious positive thinker

There are many things that matter to me, above all how people, animals and our living space are treated. I am convinced that we have to learn how to use resources sparingly if we want to protect nature and its creatures. Instead of exploitation, we have to find our way back to a healthy balance. I am convinced that positive change starts with a positive attitude of one's own. If you think positively, you act positively. If everyone pulls on the same end of the rope and has the same goal in mind, nothing can go wrong. That's how we handle it at EREMA, and that's why I like working here so much: Together we make a big contribution to a healthy environment!

Sticking together, appreciation and mutual support are just as important as honesty and security. Our industry is important for the future. That is why an apprenticeship or a job at EREMA offers long-term security. For my part, I work as an office clerk in the company. Working with numbers and accuracy are important. As an apprentice coordinator for finance and accounting assistance, I also teach you how you can make a valuable contribution, too.

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.

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!

Responsible perfectionist who appreciates quality

Trust, flexibility and great future visions: that is the foundation on which EREMA is built. This is not only evident in the clear goals, but above all in the way the people here work together. Employees are the most important factors for success - it is obvious that is the way EREMA thinks.

No matter how small the nuts and bolts are: they are all important for a working machine. That's exactly how we work together as a team, and that relationship is exactly why I'm happy with my job. "How did you do that?" my managers sometimes ask me, puzzled. This gives me the good feeling that my work contributes something valuable. Even if some things already seem perfect, I always want to do it better. That helps everyone, and when we are then praised as a team, that is the best compliment for my work.

I like it when I am allowed to achieve new goals and handle new challenges - and, it is great to work in a future-oriented, innovative company that attaches great importance to fairness! Also to the environment: recycling is not just the future, but also the present. The world doesn't work without recycling. We are already witnessing pollution of the earth, water and air on a massive scale. We all have a responsibility when it comes to conserving the world for the next generation.
