The profession

We face up to the responsibility we have as a specialised company. We have been actively tackling the shortage of skilled labour in Germany since 2007. We train precision mechanics specialising in toolmaking and process mechanics for plastics and rubber technology. These professions generally take 3 1/2 years to complete.

Precision mechanic specialising in toolmaking

The main task is to build high-quality devices, moulds and tools according to digitally created design drawings (CAD), sketches and templates.

Precision mechanics are involved in the manufacture and maintenance of machines, devices, systems and equipment as well as stamping, cutting and forming technology products and in fixture and mould construction technology. Raising awareness of quality also plays an important role in training.

The Chamber of Crafts Munich and Upper Bavaria is the responsible chamber for this apprenticeship. The vocational school is located in Bad Aibling and Traunstein.

Process technician for plastics and rubber technology

Plastics processing is characterised by a striking dynamism in the development of machines, tools and materials. The process mechanics produce moulds, components and semi-finished plastic products of all kinds or fibre composites from polymer materials or rubber in accordance with the respective requirements. They process the plastics and prepare them. You will also process plastics and semi-finished plastic products using industry-standard processing techniques.

You will set up, programme, operate and maintain the high-tech systems for the manufacturing process. Process mechanics are trained in production management, they optimise production processes and are involved in product and production development. Checking product quality is also part of their job. The vocational school is located in Wasserburg.
