The job profiles – as varied as the material paper
Also in the paper industry the level of technological development is demanding a great deal of employees. Modern manufacturing facilities can be operated safely only by a highly qualified manpower.

From stock preparation to production right to the point of quality control and warehousing, technically and organisationally challenging tasks offer good prospects for personal professional development.
The path of paper and paper products to processing and utilisation requires counseling and demands tasks in transport and the commercial sector. In this sector with a close affinity to paper, there is a broad range of job profiles available, from training right through to an academic degree.
If you are technically oriented and fascinated by the operation of high-tech devices and plants, the paper industry is the right place to embark on a career: highly specialised machines and plants with a high level of process automation are the key aspects of your work.
Chemistry is essential for paper making. The mixture of elements, the use of additives and the functionality of the finished product and its versatile applications impose severe challenges for chemists day after day.
Paper is a valuable raw material. Especially nowadays with conservation of the environment and the demand for sustainable production, the recycling, reconditioning and reuse of products is a very important aspect. The importance of this line of work will continue to become more important and offers interesting career prospects.
