Secondly: Lead\u00ader\u00adship teams can be young and successful. Thirdly: Our Customers promote a huge wealth of vari\u00adants.<\/p>\n<h5>Which attrib\u00adutes come to your mind when you think of the employees of the Uhlmann Group?<\/h5>\n<p>I see the employees as highly qual\u00adi\u00adfied, committed people who are always ready to help.<\/p>\n<h5>You also worked in assembly at Koch, Cremer and Uhlmann. What were the biggest differ\u00adences?<\/h5>\n<p>The types of screw locking (laughs). No, seri\u00adously. The differ\u00adences are due to the compa\u00adnies\u2019 varying sizes and can be seen in processes and proce\u00addures.<\/p>\n<h5>From a mechan\u00adical engineer\u2019s perspec\u00adtive: What will be the greatest chal\u00adlenges for the future?<\/h5>\n<p>To generate inno\u00adva\u00adtions quickly enough and to trans\u00adlate digi\u00adti\u00adza\u00adtion into busi\u00adness processes and prod\u00aducts. And we have to get the complexity out of our product port\u00adfolio, reduce the delivery times for new machines by half and supply spare parts more quickly than anybody else. And above all, it is absolutely essen\u00adtial to take everyone with us on this journey.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">2030 we are by far the number 1 for our customers all around the world in the areas of digital and sustain\u00adable product solu\u00adtions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><cite>Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Niemeyer, CEO Uhlmann Group Holding and Uhlmann Pac-Systeme<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h5>Strategy 4forward25 for the first time is commu\u00adni\u00adcated in an open and trans\u00adparent manner to all employees. Why this open\u00adness?<\/h5>\n<p>For me, this is only natural. Only a strategy that is known by every\u00adbody and filled with life by every\u00adbody can be success\u00adfully imple\u00admented.<\/p>\n<h5>An essen\u00adtial corner\u00adstone of the new strategy is Lead2Win, which primarily deals with lead\u00ader\u00adship. How do you lead?<\/h5>\n<p>What is impor\u00adtant for me is trust, reli\u00ada\u00adbility, setting a good example, and open\u00adness. Deci\u00adsions have to be taken at the level with the highest exper\u00adtise. Compre\u00adhen\u00adsive, fact-based and unbi\u00adased commu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion is a prereq\u00adui\u00adsite. Autonomous thinking is defin\u00adi\u00adtively desired. Common goals are an essen\u00adtial key to success.<\/p>\n<h5>Where do you see the Uhlmann Group in the year 2030?<\/h5>\n<p>In the areas of digital and sustain\u00adable product solu\u00adtions, we are by far the number 1 for our customers all around the world.<\/p>\n<h5>What will happen with the Keck\u00adeisen plot?<\/h5>\n<p>We will make very good use of it for our vision of \u201cWerk30\u201d [Plant30], which means the plant devel\u00adop\u00adment plan 2030 in order to ideally struc\u00adture the internal process flow.<\/p>\n<h5>Will there be an exten\u00adsion of the parking garage so that there will also be enough parking space after moving back?<\/h5>\n<p>Yes, the imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion and execu\u00adtion plan\u00adning will start by the mid of the year. We will then have suffi\u00adcient parking space avail\u00adable when we will finally have all employees back at the site in Laupheim.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4268\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4268\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4268\" src=\"https:\/\/pactuell.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/Niemeyer_web-01-scaled.jpg\" alt width=\"400\" height=\"533\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4268\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cycling for balance: CEO Prof. Dr.-Ing.

And I also achieve a balance through motion: in the morning by running through Ringel\u00adhauser Park towards Hochstetten, by riding my bike along the rivers Iller, Danube or Lauter, or by swinging my hockey stick once a week in the senior hockey team of the SSV in Ulm.
