Vitamin kick – One of the many benefits at SPECK

Fruits are real power packets – just like our staff.

Every Tuesday since 12 July 2022, we have been providing a selection of different fresh fruits such as bananas, apples, pears, nectarines, grapes and much more for our employees.
The fruit is supplied by the local fruit and vegetable supplier Deuerlein in Lauf. The quickly emptying fruit baskets reflect the great success of this campaign. In addition to this new offer, there are already many different benefits at SPECK because people are always at the centre of everything we do. Therefore, values, professional and personal development, work-life balance and the compatibility of family and career play a major role when it comes to the satisfaction of our employees.
The good health of all colleagues is a top priority and is ensured by our company health scheme as well as the possibility of leasing a bicycle through Jobrad. Every year, various staff events, celebrations and team events are organised to ensure a positive mood and good team spirit, and on hot summer days, ice cream is delivered to cool everyone down. Flexitime and home office offer flexibility for everyday life. Special financial benefits in the form of a company pension scheme, payment for public transport tickets, corporate benefits as well as holiday and Christmas bonuses enable stable planning for the future and for all those who want to think outside the box, we offer a wide range of further training measures.

Apprentices taken on

Developing skilled workers for tomorrow at an early stage and integrating them into the company – that is the goal of the apprenticeship at SPECK Pumpen. In addition, we want to bind young people with all their accumulated know-how to our company. We are pleased that we were able to take on Alisa Rebmann and Alexander Pflaum, two of our apprentices who have completed their training as industrial administrators. The positions that were vacant at the end of their apprenticeships enabled both of them to find a place in their desired departments. Alisa was taken on in the export department and Alexander in the industrial technology sales department. We wanted to look back on the time since they were hired on 01.09.2019 and asked Alisa and Alexander a few questions about their training and the time that followed …

Alisa Rebmann (23)

Alisa first became aware of SPECK Pumpen at an apprenticeship fair. “After talking to Stefan Dörr, I knew that I wanted to do my apprenticeship in this company.” During her apprenticeship, she enjoyed going through the different departments the most and has now found her place in the export department. “I fit in well with the team and so my wish came true. Here I can contribute my ideas and develop professionally.” Part of her job is to write orders and prepare customs documents and supplier declarations. Alisa has already successfully completed a customs training course at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

 

 

 

Alexander Pflaum (25)

“I’ve known SPECK for a long time because the company is near my parents’ house and I used to drive past it every day on my way to school”. He decided to train as an industrial administrator because he is good with numbers and was already interested in business studies at school. Regarding his training period at the company, Alexander says: “All in all, the training was varied and diverse. I think it’s good that SPECK takes on a lot of the apprentices and challenges them with responsible tasks.” Alexander is now employed in the industrial technology sales department and felt integrated right from the start. He is also responsible for customer service, clarifying technical questions and preparing offers. He particularly likes the direct contact with customers. He takes part in individual sales training sessions and sees himself in a responsible position in the company in the future.

SPECK Pumpen is committed to successfully contributing to the training of young people and to integrating them into the company in the long term. We wish our new colleagues all the best for their new tasks and challenges!

SPECK apprentices on tour

Visiting Speck pumpen in Roth

On Friday 14 December 2018, we stamped out as soon as we had stamped in and not because we were on post duty. At around 8 am 22 motivated apprentices drove in two busses and two cars towards Roth.

The last car finally made it to our sister factory Speck Roth and we were given a very friendly welcome. From the very beginning we were impressed by the exhibition room that we first entered. We were given an introduction to the company by means of an interesting presentation and following a short question and answer session, we went to explore the premises.

Even in the first production hall we, especially the trainee industrial mechanics, couldn’t believe our eyes. There were so many machines, each one newer, larger and more modern. Many questions were raised and well answered.

The canteen was also impressive. We were given a snack and had the opportunity to chat with the apprentices from Speck Roth. It occurred to us that, despite the considerable difference in size, (the company has twice as many employees as we do) the apprenticeship scheme is very similar.

We left Roth and made our way to an Italian restaurant in Nuremberg where we filled up on pizza and pasta before heading to the battlefield. The highlight of the day, which also involved great teamwork, was laser tag. The aim was to defeat the other two teams in the two rounds that we played. Conquering the other teams and defending our own was great fun and time raced by. After the evaluation of the games we headed home, tired but full of adrenaline.

Overall, it was a very interesting and fun-filled day. It even brought the apprentices closer together. Thank you very much for a great day out – we look forward to doing it again!
