Having come to stay

Semperit Experience Day in Odry, Czech Republic. A special day to honor long-standing employees for their achievements. Many have been with the company for over 30 years, some for more than 40 years, and some are even the fourth generation in their family to work here. Site manager Daniel Pazdirek, who has been with Semperit since 2001, says: “They all have three things in common. Firstly, a strong loyalty to Semperit. Secondly, the will to deliver results and create solutions. Thirdly, enjoying their work.” Passing on know-how and experience to the next generation plays an important role for personal growth as well as for the company’s success, Pazdirek emphasizes: “Many of our long-standing team members are actively involved in training and proud to support young colleagues as mentors on their professional path. We are like a second family here.” This team spirit is also one of the secrets to the success of major projects such as the expansion of hydraulic and industrial hose production, which are always completed on time and on budget.
