For more than 25 years, works coun­cils from the region have been meeting to discuss and exchange expe­ri­ences. Through this networking, the works coun­cils, which are mainly from the mechan­ical engi­neering sector, can exchange ideas and provide each other with assis­tance on a wide range of topics. Last year, the Axito works council was also allowed to join this circle and was there­fore very pleased to host the meeting on 8 May 2023 in Laupheim. Also present were the works coun­cils of Uhlmann Pac-Systeme and six other compa­nies from the region.

A major topic this time was the shortage of skilled workers in the region. Many of the compa­nies repre­sented at the meeting are more or less affected by this, so there was a lively exchange and new ideas were discussed. With a full head and an empty stomach, the group went to lunch in the canteen at Uhlmann Pac-Systeme, where they were able to exchange ideas and get to know each other better. Finally, Karl Braig, Head of Services at Axito, took the group on a tour of Plant 5, where he showed the inter­ested partic­i­pants Axito’s modern produc­tion facil­i­ties.

The next meeting is already being planned and will take place on 31 July at Käss­bohrer Gelän­de­fahrzeug AG in Laupheim.
