    Mihál Lukáš, Setter Assembly, Czech Republic

    “I started as a washing machine operator eight years ago and was always curious about other areas of responsibility, especially the role of a setter. Over time, I became a setter myself and now ensure that my machines run smoothly. What I particularly appreciate is the open communication in our company. In monthly canteen meetings the plant manager shares updates and answers our questions. This level of transparency shows that everyone is part of the bigger picture.“

    David Volf, Setter Grinding, Czech Republic

    “I have been working at the Olomouc plant since 2001 and have been a setter for over 20 years. A friend recommended the job to me back then. During this time, I’ve worked with many machines and contributed to exciting projects. What I value most is the strong team spirit, positive atmosphere and healthy working environment. Anyone who starts here can learn a lot and rely on an experienced and supportive team.”

Today, I work as a specialist in programming assembly systems, a role I grew into with initiative, team support and trust from my supervisor. I am especially proud of a complex project that I joined in the middle of the process. Although not everything went smoothly, we successfully implemented it together, even across locations. Working together simply works."

At Durkopp, we focus on truly understanding our customers’ needs. Technical knowledge and communication go hand in hand. I value that continuous education is encouraged here. This has supported my personal and professional growth, and I now enjoy sharing my experience through internal training sessions.”

We know and appreciate each other well. New team members also settle in quickly. The onboarding process is very well organized. When our ‘robot colleagues’ first joined us, I was honestly a bit skeptical. But now, I wouldn't want to be without the automated support.”

Following a restructuring, I worked as supervisor of the assembly building for four years before taking on my current position as automotive value stream manager. I am proud of my professional development and growth in team leadership. Those who take on responsibility will find great opportunities for internal development and career advancement here.”
