Living and working in
Heide/Schleswig-Holstein

History determined our location, as the region around Hemmingstedt was originally a mining area in which oil-rich chalk and crude oil were extracted. Today, we are delighted by this whim of nature and enjoy the proximity of the North Sea and the unparalleled scenery.

The nearby district town of Heide boasts the full range of municipal amenities. From nursery schools to grammar schools, all educational institutions are within easy reach, and the Westküstenklinikum Heide provides comprehensive medical care and supports the region’s specialist doctors.

Bus lines and Nord-Ostsee-Bahn trains provide good transport connections. With the A23, the district of Dithmarschen has a fast motorway link to Hamburg. In other words, ideal prerequisites for work–life balance.

We see our employees as partners in our mission to further develop the company.

We foster a cooperative approach in which every employee is encouraged to the best of their abilities, but also challenged. We view further training and personal commitment as an opportunity and an obligation in equal measure.

We select our employees solely on the basis of their professional and personal aptitude. We welcome ideas and employees’ own implementation proposals and reward suggestions that lead to an improvement in our performance. We accept our responsibility as an important employer in the region and ensure that the company continues to develop. In this context, training the next generation plays a vital role for us.
