Training and Education

Dennis Lehmann is an impressive example of how continuous education can foster a successful career in a medium-sized company. In 1998, he completed an internship at Günther, and a year later, he began his training as an industrial mechanic for machinery and systems technology. During his training, he gained experience in all departments of production, laying the foundation for his career.

“Thanks to my solid training with the company founder Helmut Günther, I had a great start to my professional life,” remembers Dennis Lehmann. After completing his training, he gained practical experience in assembly and then pursued further education as a state-certified technician in general mechanical engineering, completing it in 2011 with support from colleagues and supervisors who always had his back.

With his expanded knowledge, Dennis moved to work preparation and production planning, took over production management in 2010, and was appointed operations manager in 2021. Today, he is responsible for operational organization and compliance with safety regulations.

“I am grateful for the support I’ve received over the last 25 years and look forward to many more exciting years,” says Dennis. His journey shows how important training is for sustainable success.

Felix Munske demonstrates how training can have a lasting impact on a career. After completing his high school education, he began his training as a mechatronics technician at Poly-clip in 2011. During his training, he gained practical experience in the pre-assembly area, giving him a good entry into the company. After successfully completing his training, Felix was transferred to work preparation and steadily took on more responsibility.

For Felix, continuous education was particularly important, both professionally and personally. Poly-clip actively supported him in his education: in addition to time off for training, the company provided all the necessary resources—from learning materials to support for learning initiatives. As a result, he successfully completed his studies as a mechanical engineering technician and obtained his instructor’s certificate within four years. Felix later completed further education as a Lean Production Manager to deepen his knowledge of business processes.

Today, Felix leads the German service team and the service hotline, sharing his knowledge with his team. His tip for anyone looking to advance their career: “Self-motivation is key. If you’re willing to think outside the box, you’ll find numerous opportunities for development at Poly-clip.”

Felix’s success story shows how targeted education opens doors and creates long-term career opportunities.

Lucas began his career at Poly-clip in 2015 with an apprenticeship as an industrial mechanic. “The training at Poly-clip was very friendly and familial from the start.” During his training, he was able to prove himself in various areas of the company and gained valuable knowledge and skills. He was particularly fascinated by working with machines and the technical challenges associated with it.

After successfully completing his training, Lucas decided to expand his expertise through further education as a mechanical engineering technician and simultaneously completed his instructor’s certificate to assist as a deputy technical training manager. Poly-clip supported him with flexible working hours so that he could complete the training alongside his work. This decision was key to the next level of his professional career.

After successfully completing his technician certification, Lucas took on increasing responsibility and began designing operating resources. In 2024, he specialized in special machinery and project management. He is enthusiastic about the application of new technologies such as 3D printing and automation with mobile robots, which Poly-clip uses in production processes. “These innovative technologies help optimize internal processes and gain valuable insights for customers.”

Through continuous education, Lucas not only expanded his own skills but also actively contributed to the company’s further development.
