Teamwork at Angua FoodTec

One thing is always particularly fun when we are presenting our innovative packaging solutions at trade fairs: our teamwork!

Because we are passionate packaging experts, technology tinkerers, quality maximisers, inventors, logistics heroes, industry networkers, genuine consultants and international local patriots with one great passion: the packaging of your product!

And: with a pinch of humour, networking at trade fairs is twice as much fun! We also had our Cologne Packaging Law with us, which was an audience magnet.

And while we were able to present our high-quality packaging machines and sustainable packaging material at the international trade fair Anuga FoodTec from 19 to 22 March 2024 to a large audience, a new team member made himself particularly popular: Cobot palletizer Herby.

Together we are simply strong! Thanks to the team for a great time at the trade fair!

There is something to celebrate: Our packaging expert Maximilian has been on board with us for exactly 10 years now. 

As a tbs-pack GmbH oldie, Max knows the company as well as only a few others and since 2019, he has been a strong contributor at alpha-pack. We thank him for his daily commitment, his team spirit, his easy-going manner and his funny sayings.

We are happy to have you on the team, Max, and look forward to many more years with you at the Home of Packaging!

Our Petfood CEO Balou and the other hardworking (Home) Office Pets Molly, Lucie and Lilly are always busy, but still took a minute to send you lots of greetings.

Because we want to celebrate successes together as a team and highlight positive emotions in our everyday work! To this end, we have defined individual successes and goals in all departments, and when these are achieved, it's "hit the buzzer!"

The main point here is to strengthen our team spirit and to give each success the appreciation of our entire team. By rewarding successes, motivation increases, which leads to new successes.

Do you already know Manuela, our Chief Happiness Officer?

"Wonderful good afternoon, this is Manuela! How may I help you?" - That's exactly how it sounds every day when our Chief Happiness Officer Manuela greets our customers on the phone. In addition to her work in Customer Care, where she always makes sure our customers are in a good mood and happy, our sunshine Manu also works in Active Sales and provides the whole team with tea, pudding or other treats on the side - and she's been doing all this for over 12 years now! 

Our office dog Balou also loves Manuela's lunch break walks and creative treats. 

We are so happy to have Manuela on our team! Thank you for your great work!

CEO Thomas Stumpp and Quality and Feel Good Manager Balou are a strong and well-coordinated team! Together, the two are currently preparing everything for Interzoo 2022 in Nuremberg - and Balou in particular attaches great importance to the highest quality and checks and sniffs our packaging samples with the utmost care, so that all Petfood articles remain fresh and crisp for a long time in their packaging. Why we are REALLY Petfood experts? Because we have a meticulous quality manager on four paws! 

>>> What did you tell your parents about your first day of training after work?

Pascal: "The first thing I told my parents was that I was very warmly welcomed and directly involved in the daily work routine. So there was no boredom."

>>> What three things would you not necessarily have expected like this?

Pascal: "A really young team, optimal cohesion, table football and basketball hoop."

>>> What did you like best about your training?

Pascal: "I was an integral part of the team from day one.  No matter whether I had questions, requests or problems - everyone always had an open ear for me!  Those are two of the reasons why I stayed on after my training."

>>> What do you take away from your training?

Pascal: "That the training path to become a wholesale and export merchant is really varied. I was able to get a taste of many different areas and was directly integrated into all work processes. So I really learned a lot by doing!"

>>> Your tip for a prospective trainee?

Pascal: "Don't be afraid of new things! It's quite normal not to be able to do everything perfectly at the beginning! That all comes with time. And it's very important to simply ask if anything is unclear. Because if you don't ask, you stay stupid."
