We are delighted to be part of the Tour Ginkgo 2024 again this year and to be pedalling together for a good cause. From 4 to 6 July 2024, the group of cyclists will cycle through the picturesque Black Forest-Baar district. The Tour Ginkgo is a very special project in which we have been a partner for over 10 years. Together with many other companies and partners, we share responsibility for sick children.
Seven young talents from the stoba training department in Backnang are IHK-certified "Energy Scouts" since this week. They have identified places in the company where energy efficiency can be optimized - and then developed corresponding proposals for solutions. The results are to be implemented this year.
In our latest TecStory, we describe the great collaboration between stoba and Beckhoff.
Innovative companies need creative minds that want to make a difference. Our student trainees, among others, provide a breath of fresh air and always new perspectives: They enrich the Marketing & Communications and HR departments with knowledge and current topics, making them an important part of stoba. In an interview, our three working students Luzy, Alisa and Lisa revealed what their everyday life at stoba is like, why they like being here and what drives them outside of work.
The traineeship at stoba is something very special. In addition to educational content about the company, culture and technology, the international exchange during the traineeship at stoba is a key highlight. "In Addition to our biggest location in Backnang, the trainees should also get to know our international locations in order to strengthen their relationships with our international colleagues and gain even more expertise," says trainee manager Markus Gebhardt, explaining the background. "After the corona pandemic, we were finally able to send four young talents out into the world to get to know more about stoba."
Climate change is impossible to ignore at this point and requires action. While other companies are only slowly addressing the issue of CO2 neutrality, stoba Weinstadt began reducing CO2 emissions ten years ago. The start was made with a photovoltaic system with an output of 99.9 kWp, which was installed on the roofs of the company premises.
Michael Fesenbeck joined stoba in 2011 as an apprentice machine operator. Today, he is the head of a team of 23 people. His development shows: Anyone who has a desire to develop, grow and help shape the company gets the chance to do just that at stoba. In an interview, Michael Fesenbeck provided insights into his experiences at the company.
"We are looking for people who enjoy their work and have fun with the product. Who just really want to!" These are the most important qualities that Ulrich Schwerin, Human Resources Manager at stoba Customized Machinery in Memmingen, mentions when asked about the desired qualifications of potential applicants.
He is currently looking for new colleagues for the Memmingen site in a wide range of areas - and places great importance to ensuring that they really fit in with the company and the existing team.
Working at stoba is characterized by two things in particular: Innovative technologies and a strong team spirit. This is also the case at our Czech site in Brno. Combined with fair working conditions that leave enough time for a life outside of work and other company benefits, employees there can expect a job with both security and prospects. New colleagues are currently being sought who would like to become part of the team and drive stoba's success story forward.
We would like to thank you, all our customers, partners and employees, for the cooperation and trust you have placed in us over the past year. A year in which we were able to meet new challenges through intensive exchange, flexibility and cohesion. Let us build on this in the new year. We look forward to 2023 with confidence and courage, because a new year also means many new encounters and personal conversations in which we develop forward-looking ideas and innovations together with you.
With this in mind, we wish you a happy and relaxing holiday season.
After a successful trade fair year in 2022, stoba Customized Machinery will again be represented at numerous trade fairs in 2023, presenting the latest innovations in laser and (P-) ECM to visitors. A total of four trade fairs are already being planned. We are looking forward to the upcoming discussions and new contacts. If you are interested in trade fair tickets, please contact Christin.Mueller@stoba-Memmingen.de a few weeks in advance.
Finding a suitable training company is no easy task for many young people. This is mainly because there is often a lack of insight into the company and it is correspondingly difficult to assess what to expect. That's why stoba puts great emphasis on getting to know applicants well during the application process and giving them as clear a picture as possible of the company, its culture and the training process. That this approach works is demonstrated, among other things, by the performance of our trainees: For the second year in a row, they achieved such good grades in their final exams at the Backnang site that the Stuttgart Region Chamber of Industry and Commerce presented stoba with a certificate for particularly good training performance in the technical/commercial field.
