WORK EXPERIENCE IN SOUTH EAST OF IRLAND

Our trainees Sina and Benedikt were able to complete an internship abroad in Ireland through the Erasmus program and would like to share their experiences with you.

In combination with the vocational school Lindau, and funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union, we were able to complete a 2-week internship in Ireland.

In Kilkenny, two hours away from Dublin, we met our host families, with whom we were allowed to spend the next few days.

The next day we started our internships, which were assigned to us in advance. There were many different locations, such as hotels, museums or tourism offices. Here we were deployed in the area of management and administration.

On the weekend we were able to get to know as much of the country and Irish culture as possible, such as a Dublin sightseeing tour

"Exercise and relaxation in everyday working life", was the Motto of the Day. Once again we were able to cordially invite you to the Health Days in our plants this year.

TOP Training Company 2022

We are very pleased that we have been market to one of the TOP training companies of the IHK Schwaben again this year

TRAINING OF TRAINERS

Successful professionals of tomorrow need committed trainers of today.

In order to work as a direct trainer, we are currently training 12 employees from various departments to become trainers. This course ist completed with a successful completion of the ADA examination at the IHK. 

We wish all our participants every success and thanks for your great commitment!

DONATIONS FOR UKRAINE 

We are also thinking about the refugees in Ukraine and would like to help wherever it's possible.

Together with the company Rawe (Weiler), we donated a total of 10,000 € to the Rotary Club Lindau Dreiländereck - who has purchased food, clothing, hygiene articles, medicines etc.  for the people of Ukraine.

Our Demmel transporter also set off on behalf of the Kindergarten Scheidegg, fully packed with a number of relief supplies, to help where help is needed.

Insight into our production

During their apprenticeship, our commercial trainees have the opportunity to experience our production up close and to actively participate there.

Shift work? – Of course... I really want to try it out. For Julia – our apprentice industrial clerk in the second year of her apprenticeship – it was evident that she absolutely wanted to work the night shift during her taster days in our production. 

I have a lot of respect for that! – and still do – because working during shift times demands enormously on the body and the ability to concentrate. 

From punching, laminating and concealing, up to the final inspection... I was allowed to help everywhere and had a lot of fun. 

I was also warmly welcomed in our maintenance. There I was allowed to independently solder together a radio and make it work and milled a cube made of aluminum.  

Thank you for the great time and your great effort - Julia

Fundraising campaign of our trainees

Our youth and trainee representatives (Benedikt Fasser and Irem Karadavut) had a great idea this year! 

The proceeds of internal actions organized by our trainees by themselves, such as a snack or cake sale, are usually used by our trainees for joint lunches or privately organized events. However, since the current corona situation still makes such meetings more difficult for us, our trainees had the great idea of donating part of their earnings. 

A total of 200 € went to one of the most famous podcasts - the "Christmas Circus".  Where Jan Böhmermann and Oliver Schulz donate to four different needy institutes. 

• The wish wagon of the Worker-Samaritan-Covenant 
There, seriously ill people in their last phase of life are fulfilled a very special last wish. 
 

• The Children's Hospice Sternenbrücke helps children, adolescents and young adults with life-limiting illness to lead a dignified life until their death.

• We tackle it – emergency aid for refugees 
Is a non-profit association that brings direct help to the people in need fleeing at the EU's external borders.

• Foundation for the Promotion of University Medicine Dresden 
The non-profit foundation has been supporting projects for patients, students, nurses, doctors and scientists for almost ten years.

A great action!

Lunch in the Rebowl

Deposit instead of garbage

This year, some of our local restaurateurs switched their to-go containers to returnable containers from Rebowl. This is also the case with the Lindenberger Hof, which serves us daily with its fresh lunch table.

Consisting of polypropylene (PP) - 100% recyclable, the containers were produced in Germany. They are not only BPA- and pollutant-free, but also microwave-compatible, leak-proof and flush-machine resistant. Due to their longevity, only one reusable container replaces about 200 - 500 pieces of common disposable containers. 

A great advantage with us – the deposit of 5 € per container is paid by Demmel AG for our employees.

We are pleased that we can make a contribution to environmental protection.

March 2021: Air disinfection with ClAIR

For cleaning our indoor air respectively for air disinfection, we use CLAIR fans for all our plants.

How does CLAIR work? The room air is sucked in with a fan power of 1000 m3/hour and swirled within a flow channel, inside CLAIR. The following UV-C disinfection (360 watts rated power) ensures a neutralization of viruses (also corona viruses), germs and bacteria in the reaction room. The specially developed turbulence technology in the reaction room ensures a long residence time of the air under intensive UV-C irradiation. CLAIR thus enables an almost optimal disinfection of the ambient air.

Through the use of CLAIR, we give our colleagues, as well as all visitors, greater security not to get sick with the Corona virus.

March 2021: Demmel plants trees with the job portal "Yourfirm"

April 2020: Press release: Demmel develops and donates face shields to local hospitals.

Demmel AG in Scheidegg develops and donates special face shields to local hospitals in the corona crisis. "The donation is a matter of our social responsibility as a company", explains Thomas Holderried, CEO of Demmel AG.  “In these challenging months, it is important to support each other quickly and unconventionally. It is a need for us to support and contribute our neighborhood with our know-how to protecting and saving lives."

In the current corona crisis, it is also difficult for hospitals to get appropriate protective equipment. The special face shields are a result of the typical Demmel innovation and were developed within a few days. In contrast to pure respiratory masks, this shield consists of a forehead holder and a visor made of transparent polycarbonate, which also protects the eyes but does not restrict the field of vision. Breathing mask and goggles can easily be used under the visor. The visors are easy to clean and can be reused if necessary. So they provide additional protection for clinic staff who work directly on the COVID-19 patient and are therefore faced with a very high pathogen load.

The entire staff of Demmel AG admires and praises the tireless efforts of the nursing staff and doctors: "With our donation we would like to thank all people who are currently performing above average in the treatment and care of Covid-19 patients. We have great respect for the work that is done here every day for the general public and our region. ”

The Demmel face masks can also be used in almost all other areas of life. Further information and direct ordering options can be found here: -> Demmel Face-Masks

April 2020: Demmel publishes sustainability report.

We are thus reporting in detail on our activities on sustainability topics in accordance with the requirements of the DNK. In the future, we will report regularly on these topics and publish our activities in relation to economic, ecological and social sustainability aspects.

The DNK is a transparency standard for reporting corporate sustainability performance. It can be used internationally and supports the development of a sustainability strategy. In order to meet its requirements, users create a declaration on 20 predefined criteria from the areas of strategy, process management, environment and society, sustainability-related goals, key figures and risks. The DNK is managed by the Council for Sustainable Development (RNE) on behalf of the federal government. It can be used by companies of all sizes and legal forms.

The last report can be found here: -> Demmel Sustainability

1…2….3… opened!!!

With a paper cut through the red ribbon, Mr. Tämmerich (Technical Director) officially opened our new training workshop on September 13, 2019.
The relocation of a production machine made it possible for us to completely renovate or build our new, approx. 100 square meter workshop in the former room of the "Bütfering" machine (surface technology area). In future, the training workshop should be a central point for our trainees in the commercial-technical area, as well as enable certain activities and processes apart from day-to-day business, with the support of the trainers.
The workshop includes, among other things, four workbenches, a column drill, a double grinder, as well as a precision, lead and traction spindle lathe, on which our trainees can learn to turn from scratch.
We invested around € 120,000 in this great project.
At the same time, the construction of this workshop enables us to expand our range of training. From 2020, we can now also train machine and system operators (m / f / d), tool mechanics (m / f / d) and process mechanics (m / f / d).
We would like to thank everyone involved who made this great space possible for our trainees.
