This year, a total of 45 fresh team members have been hired so far. This means that the world-renowned manufacturer of industrial shredders currently employs around 300 people at its headquarters in Kuchl alone. A further 200 colleagues work for the international subsidiaries. UNTHA is growing steadily and gradually conquering further markets. That's why ongoing talent acquisition and the development of long-standing team members are of great importance. The company continues to seek candidates for a range of roles, including technical customer service, sales and marketing.
Matthias Kiefer, Head of Human Resources at UNTHA, commented on the recruitment drive: ‘We are a versatile employer, and our team is continuously growing due to new projects and challenges. Our recruiting team really enjoys searching for new colleagues for a variety of different professional fields. Not everyone has to be an expert in mechanical engineering, but a basic interest in technology, an open mind for exciting projects and a passion for working with different departments are crucial.’
