Werner Kaufmann, electrical engineer

“I really enjoy working as an industrial electrician at Rohleder, and have been doing so for over 35 years. Having switched careers, I was able to settle in very quickly and develop my skills in a targeted manner. I also appreciate the working atmosphere, both with the management and with my colleagues.”

Lisa Gleich, marketing

“What I appreciate most about marketing is the variety of my tasks – no two days are the same. I particularly enjoy working with a high-quality, attractive product that I can wholeheartedly stand behind and that I personally find rewarding. The close-knit camaraderie and relaxed atmosphere within the team make me feel so at home that I’ve even chosen not to work from home.”

Özkan Kanat, machine and plant operator in the weaving mill

“I’ve been working as a machine and plant operator in the weaving mill for several years now – and what I still find exciting today is that no two days are ever really the same.

We work here with an enormous variety of yarns, colours and constructions. Depending on the item, a lot changes – from the material to the machine settings. It’s challenging, but that’s exactly what makes the job interesting. You can really tell that we’re not just producing standard goods here, but truly sophisticated fabrics.

What I personally like is that you can see what you’ve produced at the end. It’s particularly special when new designs are launched. There’s a lot of expertise behind it – and you’re part of it.”

Rainer Böhm, machine and plant operator in the weaving mill

“Working as a machine and plant operator is challenging and varied – but what really makes the difference is the working environment. We all know each other, help one another out, and communication lines are short. You really notice that in day-to-day life.

What I also like are the joint events – whether it’s the summer party or the Christmas party. That’s when all departments come together, not just your own. It strengthens team spirit and you get a real sense that it’s a family business.

For me, working at Rohleder is a good mix of modern production and a personal, down-to-earth working environment.”

Franz Wölfel, IT

“In my role in the IT sector, I particularly appreciate the varied nature of the work – from process optimisation and digitalisation initiatives to the implementation of exciting projects. Above all, I really enjoy interacting with my colleagues, whether we’re working together to find solutions or when I’m able to offer my support. What stands out for me is the great freedom I have in organising my work, as well as the flexible working hours. The friendly, close-knit atmosphere within the team ensures that I feel completely at home here.”
