Employee Benefits in Aalen

Enjoying a good work-life balance, having an attractive working environment and participating in forward-looking training opportunities – we share your view of modern working.
​​​​​​​We offer our employees the following benefits.

Betriebsarzt
Wir führen regelmäßig arbeitsmedizinische Untersuchungen an den Arbeitsplätzen durch. So wollen wir die körperliche Eignung für bestimmte Tätigkeiten feststellen und erhalten sowie mögliche Beeinträchtigungen so früh wie möglich erkennen. Denn Ihre und deine Sicherheit geht zu jeder Zeit vor.
Selbstverständlich können sich unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter auch unabhängig von diesen Untersuchungen an den betriebsärztlichen Dienst wenden, wenn sie sich nicht wohlfühlen.
Kantine und Essenszulagen
Unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter können in der Betriebskantine zwischen abwechslungsreichen und frisch zubereiteten Angeboten wählen. Wir bezuschussen das Mittagessen.
Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten
In unserer Betriebskantine bieten wir ein breites Angebot an warmen Mittagessen an, die in Menüschalen an die Beschäftigten ausgegeben werden. Auch selbst mitgebrachtes Essen kann frisch erhitzt werden. In den hellen und großzügigen Räumlichkeiten bietet sich zu den Hauptessenszeiten  die Gelegenheit zum Austausch mit den Arbeitskolleginnen und Arbeitskollegen.
Zudem stehen über die Betriebsgebäude verteilt Snack- und Getränkeautomaten zur Verfügung.
Barrierefreiheit
Wir setzen uns aktiv für die Chancengleichheit aller Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter ein. So kümmern sich beispielsweise Kolleginnen und Kollegen der Schwerbehindertenvertretung um die besonderen Interessen von Menschen mit Behinderung, unterstützen sie und stehen beratend zur Seite.
Onboarding
Für einen guten Start bei uns legen wir Wert auf eine strukturierte Einarbeitung. Innerhalb der MAPAL Gruppe stehen Ihnen erfahrene Kolleginnen und Kollegen zur Seite, die zu verschiedensten Themen Unterstützung und Rat bieten.
Betriebliche Altersvorsorge
Wir fördern unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter beim Aufbau einer zusätzlichen Altersversorgung, um die eventuell im Ruhestand entstehende Versorgungslücke schließen zu können. Für alle Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter bieten wir außerdem einen monatlichen Zuschuss für vermögenswirksame Leistungen.
Gesundheitsmaßnahmen
Wir fördern die Gesundheit unserer Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter. Fachkräfte des arbeitsmedizinischen Dienstes beraten und unterstützen unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter, um Erkrankungen vorzubeugen und zu behandeln. Außerdem bieten sie diverse Vorsorgeuntersuchungen an.
Auch eigeninitiierte sportliche Aktivitäten unterstützen wir gerne. Wir übernehmen zum Beispiel einen Teil der Startgebühren bei diversen Schwimm-, Lauf- und Radwettbewerben oder stellen Teamkleidung zur Verfügung.
Zusätzlich können unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter Seminare und Workshops zu den Themen Ergonomie am Arbeitsplatz, Bewegung, Ernährung und Stressbewältigung besuchen.
Flexible Arbeitszeit möglich
Raum für individuelle Lebensentwürfe: Unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter können Arbeitsbeginn und Arbeitsende weitestgehend selbst bestimmen. Selbstverständlich geschieht dies in Absprache mit der jeweiligen Abteilung und den Kolleginnen und Kollegen. 
Im Schichtbetrieb tätige Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter, Auszubildende, Praktikantinnen und Praktikanten sowie Ferienjobber arbeiten aufgrund ihrer Abhängigkeiten von anderen Beschäftigten in festen Arbeitszeiten.
Mobiles Arbeiten möglich
Wir schaffen Flexibilität. Darum haben unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter bei Bedarf auch die Möglichkeit, mobil zu arbeiten.
Beteiligung durch Mitarbeiter:innen
Wir alle sind one MAPAL – Ihre und deine Ideen sind ein wichtiger Baustein für den gemeinsamen Erfolg. Darum binden wir unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter aktiv in den kontinuierlichen Verbesserungsprozess ein und erhöhen so die Produkt- und Prozessqualität. 
Gute Anbindung
Our sites are conveniently situated and easy to reach by bus, train or car.
Parking lot
Our employees can park their vehicles or bicycles on our premises free of charge. There are plenty of places available.
Company car possible
Our employees receive a company car, depending on their position and tasks.
Events for employees

Our company has grown as a family business – and we feel just like a big family. That’s why we also want to celebrate together. Depending on the site, there are summer festivals, for example, or even our annual Christmas market. Our MAPAL Football World Cup or European Championship takes place every two years, bringing together colleagues from various sites across Germany and abroad.

Some events are only for employees, others are open to relatives and visitors. 
We are one MAPAL and recognise the achievements of our employees: That is why we honour long-serving colleagues once a year during a special celebration and also like to invite our retirees.

Discounts for employees

In the MAPAL Fanshop, our employees can purchase high-quality workwear, clothing for leisure time, practical items for everyday use and a constantly growing range of items for fans of the company. 

They also get exclusive discounts on travel, fashion, technology and much more. The monthly changing offers can be viewed directly on the Intranet via an online platform or via the corresponding app.

Intranet & Internet
Digital support as well: During break times, employees are allowed to use the Internet for private purposes, as private matters can also be important and urgent.
As well as this, they will find a wealth of information, services and opportunities for successful collaboration with and at MAPAL on our Intranet pages.
Childcare
We help families with small children find suitable childcare places. For this reason, we’ve reserved a number of places in the new day care centre in the nearby Albstift as part of a cooperation with the city of Aalen from April 2019. The fees for day care are paid by the parents.
Water dispenser
Modern water dispensers are installed at central locations throughout the company premises. There you can tap freshly treated tap water at any time, either carbonated or non-carbonated. Use of the water dispensers is free of charge.
JobBike
We offer our employees the opportunity to lease a high-quality bicycle or pedelec. The conditions are favourable because the monthly instalments are financed by deferred compensation. This saves taxes. The bike can be used both for commuting to work and for leisure. At the end of the three-year leasing period, the bike can be returned or taken over at its residual value.

The training team at the Aalen site

Ausbilder_2048.jpg

The area of apprenticeships is top priority, as MAPAL places great importance on training tomorrow's specialists. There are currently five supervisors at the training centre in Aalen, along with Uwe Heßler, who is in charge of training and apprenticeships, and responsible for the industrial/technical division. Michaela Brendle (3rd from right) looks after the commercial trainees. Michael Barth (not pictured) is responsible for the IT trainees. Matthias Vossler (not pictured) completes the training team. The warehouse logistics specialists and warehouse specialists complete their training with him.

Barth_Michael_2048x1365.jpg

Michael Barth

I am Michael Barth and have been working as a training officer in the IT sector for over 20 years. As a trainer in this area, it is particularly important to me to provide the best possible support to our trainee IT specialists in both technical and practical terms. 

The continuity of my role as training officer emphasises the sustainable training practice at MAPAL. The training of computer scientists is an important task that encompasses a broad spectrum of IT knowledge and skills. Teaching programming skills, network technologies and other relevant skills is therefore crucial to prepare our trainees for their professional challenges.

Bayerle_Daniel_2048x1365.jpg

Daniel Bayerle

I am Daniel Bayerle and at the training centre I am responsible for imparting knowledge in the field of conventional turning and milling as well as the basics of CNC milling. I enjoy passing on my knowledge to young and motivated people and preparing them for their future working life.

After my training as a cutting machine operator and two years as a CNC lathe operator, I joined MAPAL as a CNC grinder in June 2014. After three years on a CNC-controlled five-axis grinding machine, I trained to become a metalworking foreman and then took on the role of production foreman in cutting edge production. I have been working in the training centre since the start of training in 2022 and supervise trainees in their first and second year of training.

Berger_Heiko_2048x1365.jpg

Heiko Berger

I am Heiko Berger and I supervise the trainees in the training centre in the areas of cylindrical/flat and tool grinding.

I myself completed my training as a cutting machine operator at MAPAL. I was particularly interested in the CNC grinding specialisation. After my apprenticeship, I therefore worked in the HPR fixed tools department at MAPAL and at the same time trained to become an IHK industrial foreman. After my further training, I gained experience in work preparation and finally moved to the training centre in 2014.

Michaela-Brendle_2048x1365.jpg

Michaela Brendle

I am Michaela Brendle, trainer for industrial clerks. I supervise our trainees from the job interview to the induction programme and intensive preparation for the final examination. During their three-year training programme, I also support young, motivated people in their personal development. This gives me great pleasure. I maintain close contact with the trainees. My door is always open for any questions.


I am a qualified industrial clerk myself. I have been working at MAPAL since 2014 and took over responsibility for commercial training in 2021.

Dambacher_Gerd_2048x1365.jpg

Gerd Dambacher

My name is Gerd Dambacher and I supervise our trainees in their 1st year of training. I also prepare our industrial mechanics for their final exams. It gives me great pleasure to see how young people develop into great adults during their training period.

I completed my training as a cutting machine operator here at MAPAL in 1994. I then worked in fixture construction and had contact with many trainees there. Alongside my work, I successfully completed further training as a technician in mechanical engineering and a course of study to become a certified vocational teacher (IHK). Finally, in 1999, I came to my current place of work - the training centre.

Kohnle_Peter_2048x1365.jpg

Peter Kohnle

I am Peter Kohnle and I supervise our 2nd and 3rd year apprentices in the areas of CNC turning and CNC milling. I enjoy working with young, motivated people, passing on my expertise and supporting the trainees until they successfully complete their training. 

After my training as a cutting machine operator at MAPAL, I programmed and milled ISO tools on the machine. After three years on the job, I trained as a mechanical engineering technician. I then worked on the programming of multi-spindle machines. In 2013, I moved to the training centre and completed further qualifications so that I could train young people.

Offinger_Robin_2048x1365.jpg

Robin Offinger

I am Robin Offinger and I supervise our trainees in the areas of CNC milling and turning. I also prepare our cutting machine operators for their final exams. Supporting young people at this stage of their lives is a great and exciting task. I really enjoy helping to shape the trainees' development and accompanying them on their journey from school to working life. 

I am a trained cutting machine operator and worked for six years as a CNC grinder in MAPAL adapter production. Whilst working, I completed further training to become a technical business administrator (IHK). I have been a technical instructor at our training centre since 2002.
