Trainee course completion ceremony

Junior employees again achieve excellent results

2016 course completion ceremony at Wanzl: a total of 30 trainees achieved excellent results and all of them received a job offer to be taken on as specialist workers.


In April, Wanzl’s Creative Center hosted the 2016 course completion ceremony for 30 junior employees from the Wanzl plants in Leipheim and Kirchheim. The management, represented by Dr Klaus Meier-Kortwig and Frank Derks, thanked and commended the young workers for their outstanding work and commitment. Wanzl provides young trainees with first-rate training. The outstanding results achieved in the chamber examinations this year are again testament to this. Of a total of 30 graduates, thirteen achieved the top grade "1" (based on the German academic grading system where 1 is the top result and 5 is the lowest result), six of them with a grade-point average higher than 1.5.

In the presence of managers and the works council, Dr Klaus Meier-Kortwig and Frank Derks, jointly with the trainers, handed out the certificates, awards and gifts to thirteen industrial mechanics (Marco Bannert, Ludwig Brunner, Daniel Copelicke, Jonas Lecheler, Michael Mayer, Christoph Mayr, Stefan Riggenmann, Kevin Schmidt, Stefan Schroweg, Markus Spengler, Patrick Steck, Jonas Urbanski and Maximilian Walz), six precision mechanics (Andreas Guggenmos, Markus Höpfl, Lucas Nägele, Andreas Rampp, Theresa Unglert and Klaus Wilhelm), four industrial administrative assistants (Matthias Fünfer, Laura Guggenmos, Dennis Kiss and Katja Wuchenauer), four electronics engineers for industrial engineering (Mathias Dietmayer, Dominik Mackiewitz, Thomas Schlögel and Alexander Zech), two surface coaters (Daniel Haller and Tamisha Wagner) and one graduate in business informatics at the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University (Kristina Helfer).

Job offers for all graduates


Many of the young specialists from Wanzl received additional awards for completing their apprenticeship from the Swabian government and the vocational schools. Andreas Guggenmos was recognised as top of the class in precision mechanics and received the Schulpreis [German school prize] for the highest vocational school achievements. The vocational school prize for the highest achievement also went to Michael Mayer as an industrial mechanic and to Mathias Dietmayer as an electronics engineer for industrial engineering. Particularly pleasing was that Wanzl offered each of the graduates at the course completion ceremony a job with interesting and promising opportunities for the future.
