Start your future with us

The start of professional life for nine trainees. On August 3rd, 2021, a new phase of life at RIPPERT began for the nine trainees, 4 construction mechanics and 5 technical product designers.

On August 6th, the trainers drove to Beverland with the new trainees, where they could get to know each other better during the team training sessions. With the team training, the company RIPPERT prepares its trainees for the main goals of the company at an early stage, reduces fear of contact, prepares them for everyday life in the team and helps them to identify with RIPPERT at an early stage. Equipped with kits, tools and paints, three teams were formed and given the task of constructing and designing a soap box together. After the presentation of the soapboxes, the winning team was determined in the race. Not only the stability of the construction was decisive, but also the "horsepower" and the team spirit. Now it's time for the trainees to get off to a flying start. Many exciting and new challenges are waiting for you!

We wish all apprentices a good start to their professional life!

41 trainees, 4 supervisors and lots of variety.

On Saturday, 28 September, 2019, 41 trainees from RIPPERT met up with their supervisors to take a trip to the Rhine. At 7 a.m. the bus started off on its way to the destination – Cologne.

Having arrived in the cathedral city, a comedy tour was first on the agenda. Not a classic city tour, but a rolling comedy show through Cologne.

After a refreshment in the restaurant L'Osteria, the Team-Escape-Rooms Cologne were the destination. 5 mysterious Escapes were available. Suddenly the door closes and a clock starts ticking, the group discovered and combined hidden clues and had to solve tricky puzzles. In the Live Escape Games they became part of an exciting story.

In the meantime, the other groups had free time which they used to explore Cologne on their own before it was their turn. Finally they met in the evening for a common dinner at the Brauhaus Sünner - Walfisch. After the good meal they went back home. Everyone agreed that such an excursion should take place again next year!

45 trainees, 5 supervisors and lots of fun

On 09/15/2018 45 trainees of the RIPPERT company met with their supervisors. On the agenda was a trip to Hamburg for the trainees of all apprentice years! With plenty of provisions in their luggage they went by bus and train to the Hanseatic city. There a visit to the Plaza of the Elbe Philharmonic Hall and the old Elbe tunnel was on the agenda.

After a refreshment in a hip burger restaurant, the next destination was the landing stages. On the water, Hamburg's historic warehouse district and the harbor were explored with a barge. This was followed by a guided tour of the Reeperbahn, during which the trainees were able to experience the Hamburg neighborhood up close and personal with lots of charm and humor - and learned why the Reeperbahn is so deeply rooted in the hearts of Hamburg's citizens.

After this classic, Hamburg's landmark was still on the agenda: the Michel. The tower of the Michel with its 453 steps was climbed by most of the trainees on foot. As a reward, there was a fantastic panoramic view over the Hanseatic city. After some free time, everyone met for a meal together. Exhausted, but in a good mood, they went back home in the late evening. Everyone agreed: Such an excursion can be repeated next year!

In each training year, our trainees visit the premises of one of our customers to see a RIPPERT plant in action

The last time we visited our cathodic dip coating and powder coating plant at GvG Coatings GmbH was in the 1st year of training, and in the 2nd year of training we visited a plant that we built for Kverneland. In the 3rd year of training we visited our ATL and powder coating plant at Rittal GmbH & Co. KG and in the 4th year of training our powder coating plant at the company Hettich.
