On 01.09.2023, our former authorised signatory and division manager Maik Ammour was appointed Managing Director of Elomech Elektroanlagen GmbH and thus takes over the responsibilities of the management.

In order to position us more broadly for the future, further personnel changes were also decided for the Elomech Group as of 1 September 2023. We are pleased to welcome Kim Hagedorn and Mathias Winkler for Elomech Elektroanlagen GmbH and Ricardo De Vito for Neugebauer Elektrotechnik GmbH as additional authorised signatories.

On 16 August, the 7th Mülheim company run was once again a great success. The runners set off in dry weather and summery temperatures. The 5.6 km route led from the Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences to the Ringlokschuppen. With sporting ambition, our eleven runners really worked up a sweat before successfully crossing the finish line. Afterwards, the after-run party took place, where the day ended with currywurst, refreshing drinks and lots of fun.

Girls’ Day offers schoolgirls from the 5th grade onwards the opportunity to take a look at numerous professions and companies throughout Germany in which women are rarely represented. The girls learn about apprenticeships as well as study programmes in the fields of IT, skilled trades, natural sciences and technology. By gaining an insight on site, many schoolgirls have already gained a perspective and initial experience of where their journey could take them after school. This year, the ELOMECH Group gave schoolgirls the opportunity to gain an insight into electrical engineering at the ELOTechnikum. Whether the girls have now found their dream job remains to be seen. Perhaps Girls’ Day has shown them that technical professions are not only exciting for boys.

School visits the ELOMECH Group: As part of the career exploration days at the Gesamtschule Borbeck in Essen, we welcomed 25 Year 8 pupils to our ELOTechnikum. In addition to information about training opportunities at the ELOMECH-Group, there was a practical task in our training workshop and something to win. We hope the insight into our company was fun!

As in the previous year, Elomech is supporting the Kaiserswerther Diakonie in Düsseldorf with a generous donation. 2,000 euros were handed over for two important projects: The Florence Nightingale Hospital is adapting to the individual needs of patients with dementia with its ‘dementia-sensitive hospital’ pilot project. Trained staff, personalised care and a specific room design ensure safety, orientation and a speedy recovery. The hospital clown helps very young patients to recover. With hand puppets and a lot of humour, ‘Clownie’ makes them forget their worries, fears and homesickness for a moment. After all, laughter is the best medicine! We are delighted to be able to make a contribution to this.

The Hans-Sachs-Berufskolleg in Oberhausen works internationally: the school and the ‘German Jordanian Centre of Excellence’ cooperate with Jordanian teachers and students and maintain a professional exchange in the field of solar and energy technology. With the support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), a delegation of technical teachers from Jordan has now visited the school in Oberhausen. Headmaster Marc Bücker also wanted to present the ELOTechnikum, the ELOMECH Group’s training centre, as a positive example of a high standard of training. The Arab guests were visibly impressed during a tour of the workshop and the forum.

We are starting the new training year with 42 young trainees as electronics technicians, office management assistants and technical system planners. We are proud that we have been able to attract so many young people to the ELOMECH Group despite the difficult circumstances. We are looking forward to the coming weeks and months and wish them all a good start to their professional lives.

With our big Christmas raffle, ELOMECH Group colleagues not only have the chance to win great prizes every year, but also donate their entries to a good cause. The proceeds from the raffle, which were doubled by the management as every year, went this time to the CBE – Centrum für bürgerliches Engagement e. V. in Mülheim. The organisation supports volunteers and their work in various areas.

Patients in the palliative care unit at Florence Nightingale Hospital are to be given more space for life. The Kaiserswerther Diakonie hospital is therefore remodelling the first floor of its building in Düsseldorf. The importance of respectful care is particularly noticeable in difficult times. Elomech and Teloplan are delighted to be able to support the remodelling with a donation.

This year, the examinations of our trainees took place under different conditions. However, the measures taken to protect against the coronavirus did not affect their success: 14 of our trainees successfully passed their final exams in January. Congratulations and we are proud to welcome most of them to our team as new colleagues.
