JANUARY 2005 - Wetzel

WIND OF
CHANGE 2
The change alone is consistent (Arthur Schopenhauer
1788 – 1860) Wetzel will not exhibit in January
2005 at the Heimtextil trade fair in Frankfurt,
but rather organise diverse customer festive
occasions during the trade fair period in Frankfurt
and surroundings. On the one hand, the customers
from Asia will be treated to a Wetzel Asian night
in Frankfurt and on the other hand, the 2nd Wind
of change occasion will this time take place in the
Palazzo Witzigmann.The overwhelmingly positive
feedback from our visitors last year has proven to
us that we can offer our customers excellent service
even without a booth at the Heimtextil and
above all use the time mor efficient, if we talk together
outside the trade fair bustle.The available
tickets in the Palazzo Witzigmann were soon distributed
after the dispatch of the invitations.We
are happy to be able to offer a selected group of
NEW BUILDING IN POLAND
The economic development in the year 2004 was
very pleasant for Wetzel Sp.z.o.o. in the neighbourhood
of Warsaw.We are certain that we will again
significantly increase our turnovers in comparison
to the previous business year. Especially in connection
with the ever growing receipts of orders is
the modernisation and expansion of our machinery
one of our topmost priorities. Many projects
such as the new galvanic-hall building, equipped
with most modern crane systems and new galvanic
baths could already be completed successfully
last year. Investments were made in new helio-machines,
modern lathes and another Polishmaster.
New computer systems, iris printer and software
updates were made in the entire firm.Administrative
areas were also considered for the investments,
not only through the ISDN connection installed
in January. Now, the most important project
is the new factory building which enables us
to better organise the work flow and also offers
customers once again an interesting evening in the
middle of Wetzel sales team. It is our highest objective
to have satisfied customers; please let us
know your desires and suggestions, we depend on
your help to improve our services constantly.
us the badly needed space.We are currently in the
decision process of the selection of the final plot
which will be located near the present factory.A
production hall with an integrated office complex
will emerge and will provide us with sufficient
room and space for the planned growth.We are
convinced that it will soon be possible for us to
implement this new construction and hence continue
guaranteeing you the high quality and assured
delivery schedules.You will get further information
about this project in the July newsletter.

The basic professional training with Wetzel has a
very high standing.Already in the year 2003, with a
trainee proportion of 8%, the firm had attained a
very high level of proportion for a medium-sized
enterprise.With the additional apprenticeship places
further created in the year 2004, this proportion
did rise even to 10 % of the workforce.To be
able to optimally cater for the demand for well
trained professional staff and specialists,Wetzel
provides training in the following fields:
- Media Designer for digital and printed media, in
the fields of Media Operation and Media Con
sultancy
- Industrial Sales Person
- Professional Computer Scientist
- Business Management Specialist, specializationindustry.
Until now, media designers had the possibility of
pursuing a one-year additional training in production
to earn the qualification - ”Wetzel rotogravure
form manufacturer” - subsequent to their three
-year training. In this period they learned the entire
production processes through active participation
in the departments.Through this one-year
ning can be either in technology or in the sales
department.To enable the apprentices from the
beginning onwards to be well integrated in the
Wetzel Team, the “Trainee Welcome Event” takes
place at the beginning of every training year.After
a project based task or a joint workshop of all
trainee age groups, the ”new” get the opportunity
for acquaintance with the members of the management.A
questionnaire prepared by trainees is
answered by all management members in a large
roundtable and thus affords the trainees getting
closer to experiences with Wetzel over many
years.Wetzel expects a high degree of dedication
by the trainees, right from the beginning and entrusts
all of them with highly demanding tasks after
just a short introduction.They independently prepare
most different projects, and work intensively
with different departments.Among others, this
newsletter is such a product.Trainees with Wetzel
become integrated in marketing activities, they also
go to trade fairs, and support with the organisation
of internal events and many more. Dependent
upon their performances, they receive additional
payment based on success. Both in their
Wyhlen.A new market for Wetzel Yes. But the
technologies and the know-how which are needed
in this market have for a long time already been
the state of the art in the enterprise.We are grateful
to get to know you.

internal training they became highly qualified specialists
for Rotogravure Production.We can present
further special success in this training as from this
year. In collaboration with the Industrial chamber
of Commerce (IHK) Hochrhein-Bodensee, we have
achieved the integration of “Rotogravure Form
Manufacturer” in the basic professional training of
Media Designers and its certification with an IHK
certificate, specially created for this purpose. Professional
orientation with Wetzel company.
For school leavers, an earlier view of the professional
life is a good help for the final choice of a
profession. That is why we offer young people periods
of practical instruction, especially, for the
training as Media Designers in the scope of professional
orientation in schools or in the holidays.
But also in the other fields of training do pupils
interested take part in short feel- training with
our firm. As from the training year 2005, the dual
course of study -Digital Media- will be offered at
the Berufsakademie Mannheim. Successful graduates
in the 3-year study will acquire a diploma in
media computer science - “Diplom Medieninformatiker/in“.The
position of employment after traiwork
as well as at school we demand excellent
performances from them so that they are excellently
prepared for their professional life. For the
supervision of trainees have two permanent training
heads and several part-time training personnel
been engaged since January 2004. Regular inhouse
lessons, in which the knowledge taught in
the training school is advanced and firm-specific
problems or also socio-political topics are dealt
with, roundup the training. Besides the basic training,Wetzel
Processing Group puts great emphasis
on further qualification of all employees. For this
reason we prepared three new training rooms, in
which the employees are taught by internal and also
external trainers and speakers.Also the employees
from our Hessian subsidiary Wetzel Gravotechnik
and Wetzel S.p.z.o.o. in Warsaw participate
in these training and qualification measures.
