An apprenticeship at Wefapress: off to a start with a wealth of possibilities
Completing an apprenticeship at Wefapress Beck + Co. GmbH means learning in a company that has been successfully manufacturing ultra-high-molecular (PE-UHMW) and high-molecular (PE-HMW) polyethylene for many years and machines all types of thermoplastic material into finished parts according to customer specifications. Wefapress’ roots go back to the year 1895. Fresh ideas, different ways of thinking, rethinking and sometimes thinking out of the box: this has always been our approach. And this is the only way to achieve true innovations. As evidenced by the production move to the press sintering process and the manufacture of pickers made of plastic instead of rawhide in the 1950s, both milestones that established our status as a pioneer in PE manufacturing.
Since then, we have never rested on our laurels. We continue to develop our processes and products to ensure that they meet the highest demands of various industrial sectors. We rely on our research and development specialists and we implement advanced, leading-edge technologies. This results in products that are more wear-resistant and offer greater competitive strengths, whether standard products or individual plastic solutions made according to our customers' designs and specifications.
Our employees are the driving force behind our success, because the quality of our products is directly linked to the quality of their work. The Wefapress working environment is always challenging, multifaceted and innovative. Each and every individual can make a major difference here, accomplish a great deal, and quickly take on responsibility. Short decision-making paths and flat hierarchies, equal opportunities, respectful cooperation in an international setting with a strong family identity and the systematic promotion of young talent – these aspects and many more distinguish us as an attractive employer.
What is the right job for me? Where can I get hands-on training? Where can I make a difference and achieve a great deal? One thing is certain: selecting a career is an important decision. And just as certain is the fact that you are in good hands at Wefapress. Because as a family-owned and managed company regionally rooted in Vreden, we take on responsibility for our junior employees and go the extra mile to ensure an optimal start to your career.
When you start your training at Wefapress, you will immediately become a part of the team and start contributing. Your instructors and colleagues will accompany you closely on your path to ensure that you are comfortable right from the beginning and can develop both professionally and personally. Each year of your apprenticeship will see your work become more demanding, and we routinely enable you to take advanced training courses, for example in the areas of CNC technology, CAD, environmental protection and foreign languages. This is the optimal preparation for your future day-to-day work. And the likelihood that this will be in our company is above average. By the way: In addition to qualified, hands-on training, you will enjoy 30 days paid vacation, employee co-payment of fitness studio visits, capital-forming benefits, travel expenses for the trips to school, and vacation and Christmas bonuses.
