In the editorial, Kristina I. Schunk, CEO of SCHUNK, writes about current developments that are shaping the industry. This issue focuses on the promotion of young talent.
Dear Readers,
As a technology leader, our focus is on the customer and on staying on the move with continuous development. We can only achieve this with highly trained and motivated employees, who are passionate about what they do, and who live our values with confidence. We call this the SCHUNK spirit.
This spirit was on clear display at our Family Day in July at the Lauffen and Hausen sites. Our employees presented their workplace, production halls and SCHUNK products to their families with great enthusiasm.
Even our young talents have internalized the special SCHUNK DNA extremely successfully. Apprentices in what is now their second year of apprenticeship were able to win an international competition at AMB. The Lauffen site produced several category winners and top examinees. In Mengen and St. Georgen, four apprentices graduated with a dream grade of 1.
These young professionals will shape the future with us. And that future is digital. We already offer users best-in-class solutions with digital products and services. This issue is also available for the first time as an extended digital version on our website. As “first mover”, we are represented an office on the campus of Heilbronn University since summer 2022. We are well networked with innovative startups and have a finger on the pulse of AI research.
Cooperation at eye level, mutual respect and constructive exchange are key to inspiring users and employees alike in the future.
Hand in hand for tomorrow
Enjoy reading and discovering more exciting topics!
Kristina I. Schunk,
Chief Executive Officer
