How long have you been working for the company and what position did you start in?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started in September 1983, as a “forklift driver” (packer). At that time the company was still called “Dynamit Nobel”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us about your background and studies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my “first life”, I completed an apprenticeship (1978 – 1981) as a car mechanic and worked in this profession for one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the \u201880s, the company gave me the opportunity to do a REFA training in evening school, and within three and a half years I received a qualification (basic certificate, process organizer, specialist) which today corresponds to REFA technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you get promoted?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, a bit of luck was also part of it – but my own willingness to perform was also essential.  As time went by, various positions became vacant for which I was suitable based on my performance and commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logistics here in Troisdorf was redefined at the end of 2006 and the warehouse, shipping, work preparation and purchasing departments were merged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I had been “at home” in all these areas for many years, I met the requirement profile and applied internally for the newly created position of “Logistics Manager”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your main tasks\/responsibilities today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Logistics Manager, I am responsible for purchasing, work preparation, the warehouse and shipping at the Troisdorf site. I\u2019m also in charge of planning in the packaging area (work preparation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am also the data protection officer and provide support in the area of IT administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have been working here about 39 years now. Why do you still love to be here?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been with the company for almost 39 years now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have witnessed the various rebrandings and sales of the company, but I have also been able to experience all the development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the good relationship with my colleagues and great cooperation within and among the departments, I still enjoy being here and hope to retire from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could you please tell us a bit about your private life or hobbies to let us know you better? How can you reconcile work and private life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I turned 60 earlier this year and my wife and I have been married for 32 years. We have a son who has just successfully completed his master’s degree in comparative literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been running for many years, and I started playing golf last year after bowling intensively for 14 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hobbies, family and friends are important to me and provide a very good balance to the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you recommend to the new colleagues so that they can build a similarly successful career at Trocellen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think there is no “recipe” for a successful career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my case, I was often in the right place at the right time, but you also need knowledge, willingness to learn and commitment to be successful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":184,"template":"","story_role":[27],"story_country":[29],"class_list":["post-183","career_story","type-career_story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDetlef Grossmann - Trocellen Career<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Detlef Grossmann - Trocellen Career\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"How long have you been working for the company and what position did you start in?
