Felix Munske

Successful Career through Training at Poly-clip

Felix Munske demonstrates how training can have a lasting impact on a career. After completing his high school education, he began his training as a mechatronics technician at Poly-clip in 2011. During his training, he gained practical experience in the pre-assembly area, giving him a good entry into the company. After successfully completing his training, Felix was transferred to work preparation and steadily took on more responsibility.

For Felix, continuous education was particularly important, both professionally and personally. Poly-clip actively supported him in his education: in addition to time off for training, the company provided all the necessary resources—from learning materials to support for learning initiatives. As a result, he successfully completed his studies as a mechanical engineering technician and obtained his instructor’s certificate within four years. Felix later completed further education as a Lean Production Manager to deepen his knowledge of business processes.

Today, Felix leads the German service team and the service hotline, sharing his knowledge with his team. His tip for anyone looking to advance their career: “Self-motivation is key. If you’re willing to think outside the box, you’ll find numerous opportunities for development at Poly-clip.”
