Process Engineer

For over 50 years we have been driven by the idea that we contribute to the success of the automotive industry as a crucial part of the greater whole. As a developer and producer of high-end sealing systems for powertrains, employs more than 2,000 people, and operates from international locations around the world.

Staying on the move – this is the basis not only for our technology but also applies to our performance as a team.

Good communication, constructive teamwork, and personal development promoted by competence management are the keys to succeeding. It is not by chance that many of our top managers have risen up through the ranks internally.

A further indication of our company’s forward thinking can be found in the internal workshops we hold to create a continuous culture of improvement. They are also an expression of the value we give to the ideas and know-how of our colleagues. This then lays the foundation for an open and trusting collaboration -->that leads to clear and swift decisions.

This combination of working together as a family, a clear understanding of values, and an international business approach oriented toward growth makes us different and creates a motivating working environment with attractive prospects.
