61 young people have decided to start their professional journey at BUTTING. This is not something that can be taken for granted, but rather a strong sign. While the shortage of skilled workers and concerns about the next generation are causing headaches for many companies, BUTTING is sending a strong signal. "Inspiring young people to take an interest in our work is one of the most important tasks for us as a company. Without our future employees, it would not be possible to continue developing BUTTING," says company owner Hermann Butting, emphasizing the importance of training.
On August 1, the big day arrived at BUTTING in Knesebeck: The 44 new trainees were welcomed together with their families to the start of the 2025 training year on the factory premises.
“You have big challenges ahead of you, so reach for the stars!” – Jörn Kubiak, Head of the Tube Technology Business Unit, and Hanne Butting, Director of Business Development, opened the event with this encouraging message.
The trainers also took advantage of the event to introduce themselves and their own career paths to the new future leaders.
A highlight of the day was the comprehensive tour of the plant, which covers an area of over 500,000 m2. The new trainees and their companions gained exciting insights into the diverse production areas and processes at BUTTING.
The newest members of the employee family rounded off their first day together with a snack and a round of introductions.
The new training year also kicked off at BUTTING Anlagenbau in Schwedt: On August 4, 16 trainees started their training in two different professions. Their welcome event took place in mid-July, giving the trainers and new trainees an opportunity to get to know each other. Here, too, the families of the future employees were part of the event. Because at BUTTING, we know that without the trust and support of the family, no successful training can begin.
At the Burgkirchen site, the new training year starts on September 1. An apprentice office management assistant will be joining our team here.
BUTTING – more than pipes – for a better quality of life
