This year, we welcome two new apprentices to our team. Nick Heppner and David Färber (from left) will spend the next 3.5 years completing their apprenticeship as electronics technicians for industrial engineering. This apprenticeship is organised in cooperation with the energy service provider Westfalen Weser, so that the knowledge and skills learnt can be deepened and supplemented in the training workshop there.

Fariha Khan completed her training as an office management assistant with a great performance. Congratulations on behalf of the entire staff! After only three years in Germany, she graduated top of her class from the one-year commercial school with great success in summer 2018. She acquired the opportunity to train at Rotte during an internship that accompanied her schooling.

Since last week, the nationwide vaccination prioritization has been lifted and company physicians are also allowed to perform Covid 19 vaccinations. Rotte has also taken advantage of this opportunity and made a voluntary offer of vaccination to its workforce and family members.

The coronavirus pandemic and its effects had a negative impact on the entire economy in 2020. The family business was able to rely on highly motivated colleagues and enormous team spirit.

CDU Member of Parliament and Federal Chairman of the Union of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (MIT) Dr. Carsten Linnemann learned this week about Rotte's economic challenges in times of Corona. "Short-time work, delivery difficulties or declines in orders - fortunately, none of this has been an issue for us in recent months," Benedikt Rotte, managing partner, reported at the beginning of the conversation. Nevertheless, the uncertainty in the market, among customers, suppliers and employees was noticeable.

Rotte has been successfully developing and researching Industry 4.0 for years, resulting in solutions that are used in networked production: These include the ‘Smart Factory Panel’ operator assistance system and the ‘Active force-sensitive workpiece carrier’, which won the NRW Craftsmanship Award.
