Girl power at AMAZONE, also in technical roles

There are occupations which are traditionally associated with men. Since the training reform in the 1980s, the occupation of factory and machine fitter has been replaced by the occupation of industrial mechanic. In combination with the new fields of electronics, hydraulics and pneumatics, this has resulted in a varied field of work which increasingly fascinates women as well.

This is also the case at AMAZONE. In 2015, Franziska Willer decided to learn the interesting and multifaceted occupation of industrial mechanic. In the process, she acquired in-depth knowledge of the various manufacturing processes, e.g. machining, forming and welding, as well as the handling of electronics and hydraulics on modern CNC machines.

Since successfully completing her training, she has been working in maintenance at our main plant in Hasbergen-Gaste. Here she is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the machine tools. With her skill and expertise, Franziska Willer has managed to conquer the traditional male occupation as if by magic.

We wish Ms Willer every enjoyment and success in the future.
