With a well-founded apprenticeship programme that has been awarded three certifications, Arburg has been making sustained investments in its future for over 70 years. This year, the Lossburg-based machine manufacturer is celebrating a very special milestone – the recruitment of its 2,000th apprentice, Michael Gross.

Arburg welcomes 2,000th apprentice
Auszubildende, neue Azubis, 2020,
The budding engineering technician started his apprenticeship at Arburg on 1 September 2020 alongside a further 69 apprentices and students from Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW).
Managing Partner Renate Keinath welcomed the new apprentices and students to the company: “We are continuing our apprenticeships unabated and enabling the 70 new apprentices and DHBW students we have taken on in 2020 to embark on a successful start to their working lives.” She added that the availability of apprenticeships isn’t something that can be taken for granted in the times of coronavirus and the associated difficult economic situation, as many other companies have discovered. The fact that Arburg takes on almost all of its apprentices and students each year as permanent employees is the result of careful strategic planning. Arburg is also planning to offer even more in 2021.
Keinath added that well-trained employees with broad expertise are essential to ensuring the competitiveness of a global company: “The 261 apprentices and students currently working for us clearly underline the high value we place on apprenticeships.”
In order to continue the company’s success story, Arburg is already looking for enthusiastic and committed young people to join its next apprenticeship programme, which will start in September 2021.
