10 years at DEGUMA

Dear Mr. Schack, when did you start working for DEGUMA?

Torsten Schack with Karina Meyer-Welker (Sales) talking about a machine.

I started working for DEGUMA-SCHÜTZ GmbH on July 1, 2010.

What is your job at DEGUMA?

I work in the construction department.

Which activities do you enjoy most?

Most of all, I enjoy finding solutions for the tasks I am given. Simple solutions are usually the most elegant solutions. These solutions are often developed or discussed together with colleagues from the workshop. This ensures that a new development or modification is really geared towards practical use.

What experience have you gained over the years?

During my time at DEGUMA-SCHÜTZ GmbH I was able to gain considerable experience. For example, I visited a trade fair in Dubai and afterwards went to India for the next trade fair (see picture). I was also in Austria with a colleague to measure machines for a conversion.

And what has been your most exciting project so far?

The most exciting project so far has been the new development of 1000 x Ø 400 mixing mills, but also smaller projects like strip cutters can be very exciting.

What motivates you in your work?

This may sound a bit corny, but it motivates me to find a really well thought-out solution for a given task, such as in developing the new 1000 x Ø 400 rolling mills. It is nice to see how the ideas, work and effort we put into such a project takes shape.

Where are you from?

I come from the beautiful town of Tann in the Rhön Mountains.

What do you enjoy doing most when you have time off from your daily work routine?

I enjoy meeting friends or also working at the fire department.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to gain insight into your work and life and we hope you will continue to enjoy working with us!
