Lacroix + Kress bids farewell to employees for their well-deserved retirement!

 

As part of a celebration at Gasthof Sporrer, Svenja Meßbauer (Head of Human Resources), Jörg Hupfeld (Plant Manager) and the chairmen of the works councils Gabriele Eichhorn (unfortunately not pictured) and Klaus Hartl (Chairman of the Works Council), bids farewell to long-standing employees who left Lacroix + Kress in 2023 and 2024, in the retirement.

The pensioners were looking forward to a reunion and a lively exchange with their former colleagues, and of course also to a farewell bouquet of flowers and a gift basket.

We would like to thank our pensioners for the stimulating evening with many funny episodes from past years and wish them all the best and above all the best health in the new phase of their lives!

Unfortunately, the retirees Edward Martinez and Karl Stengl as well as the jubilarians Stefan Plecher (25 years of service), Günter Böhm (40 years of service) and Rudolf Leitl (40 years of service) were unable to attend.

Digiscouts project of the RKW Competence Center – Our apprentices were there!

 

As part of the Digiscouts project of the RKW Competence Center, our apprentices in the training professions of materials tester, industrial clerk, electronics technician and industrial mechanic had the opportunity to take their digital skills to a new level. The project supports young people in understanding digital technologies and using them creatively.

Our apprentices actively participated in the project again this year and digitized the ball bearing of the dip rolling mill. The ball bearings were sorted into new shelves and recorded in a digital list according to the numbers. The current stock was counted and entered in the list, which enables the employees to find the required ball bearing more quickly and to enter withdrawals directly. Thanks to the current stocks, employees can see directly when the stock is too low and can order in good time.

Participation in this project has enabled our apprentices to gain valuable experience and broaden their career prospects in the digital world. The tasks and team projects promote the use of digital media, and they also develop entrepreneurial skills. We are pleased that we were part of this future-oriented program and are therefore even better prepared for the demands of the modern working world.

The project is accompanied by the RKW Competence Center and its coaches. In addition, as part of the presentation of certificates at the closing event, apprentices and apprentices had the opportunity to compete in an exciting race at the BattleKart in Dissen.

If you have any questions about the project or the apprenticeship at Lacroix + Kress GmbH, please contact Svenja Meßbauer (karriere@lacroixundkress.de).
