Angelo Balik, apprentice industrial mechanic in our Ernstthal plant

There are always new and exciting tasks

„I decided to apply for a job at Wiegand-Glas because of the proximity of my home to the glassworks and a recommendation from my family. In addition to the daily conversion of the glass forming machines, there are always new and exciting tasks. That's the fascinating thing about my job - I couldn't imagine spending the whole day in an office, for example. As an industrial mechanic, I work closely with other specialists such as electricians and production staff to jointly optimise the production processes."
