Yes, we generally work in a three-shift system: early, late, and night shifts. The exact shift organization varies depending on the location and department. Shift coordinators are responsible for planning and control, and shift handovers also take place.

Weekend work, on-call duty, and standby duty are regulated by contract. Whether and to what extent these occur depends on the respective location and department.

In production at ElringKlinger, we work in groups at many locations. This form of work promotes cooperation, information exchange, and participation. Groups take on responsibility together, coordinate with each other, and develop solutions for everyday work. The advantages: more say, group bonuses, better quality, and higher productivity. Managers and group spokespersons receive regular training to actively support and further develop group work.

Yes, at ElringKlinger it is possible to join the production and logistics department even without relevant training or previous experience.

Many of our employees in production and logistics have developed step by step at ElringKlinger. From starting in simple roles to taking on more qualified tasks. We actively support you in this and offer a wide range of opportunities for further training, e.g., through internal training courses or attending evening classes.

Yes, break rooms and lounge areas are available at every location – including beverage vending machines. Work clothes are provided.

Sustainability is a success factor for ElringKlinger and, at its core, a question of attitude: as part of our SHAPE30 corporate strategy, it shapes our actions at all levels: ecologically compatible, socially just, and ethically sound. We set clear goals for reducing emissions, conserving resources, and complying with international standards—for example, in the areas of human rights and the supply chain.  Our employees experience sustainability not only as a concept, but as a reality in their everyday lives: in product development, production, administration, and communication. Fair working conditions, high occupational safety standards, and comprehensive health measures create an environment in which all employees feel comfortable and can develop their full potential.

We also take responsibility beyond the boundaries of our company: we support social projects in the regions where we are based through targeted donations and sponsorship activities. Through the Paul Lechler Foundation, which acts as the majority shareholder together with the Lechler family, part of our company dividends go directly to charitable initiatives.
