On September 1, 2009 Mr Jens-René Lübben and Mr. Gerhard Schildbach, Managing Directors of GAUDLITZ, welcomed ten young people to the start of their apprenticeship. Especially during a crisis it is important to set the cours for the future by focusing on the training and development of young people, emphasized the Managing Directors. The young people start in three different apprenticed professions: tool mechanic, process technician in plastic and rubber technologies and industrial clerk.
