Weiler supports inclusion: New lathe for Regnitz workshops

Erlangen, Deutschland - Today was a pleasant day in the Regnitz workshops in Erlangen. The market leader in the manufacture of precision turning machines, the Weiler Machszeugmaschinen GmbH, handed over a new conventional lathe of the type of internship VCD worth around 18,000 euros. This measure not only marks another step in the over thirty -year partnership between Weiler and Lebenshilfe Erlangen e. V., but also offers a real profit for the employees of the workshops that specialize in the field of metal processing.

The handover took place in early June in the presence of workshop manager Matthias Laue and managing director Kristian Gäbler. "This new machine will significantly improve the qualification of people with impairments and thus increase their chances on the job market," emphasized Laue. A total of 250 people with various impairments are currently employed in the Regnitz workshops, of which 14 are active in metal processing.

a valuable contribution to inclusion

Martin Gäbler and Matthias Laue agree: The new machine is further increasing the already high quality of the manufactured components for hamlets. In the workshops, employees work, for example, on wiring operating and switching boards as well as on the production of cable rates. "The identification with the Weiler product is high for our employees," added group leader Aurelio Barcellona. "The joy of the donation is huge for both staff and employees." This shows the close connection between Lebenshilfe and Weiler, which has existed for over 20 years and how a well -functioning partnership works.

The Regnitz workshops are not only an important production location, but also an example of successful inclusion. More and more companies realize the great importance of integrating people with disabilities into the world of work. The Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs has published a practical guide that is intended to support companies to develop action plans for inclusion. Such strategies enable structured implementation and contribute to improving the employment opportunities for people with impairments, such as "https://www.bmas.de/de/service/publikation/broschueren/a755-leitfaden-aktionSplae.html"> bmas.de

The company employs around 550 people at the headquarters in northern Bavaria and also has a location in the Czech Republic. The brothers Alexander C. Eisler and Michael Eisler, who work as managing partners, underline the importance of the Regnitz workshops as an important partner. "The quality of the work is excellent and there are no complaints," said the two, who were enthusiastic about the work of the employees during a tour of the workshop.

Today, not only took place in the workshop, but also included a tour for interested guests from Emskirchen, who received an insight into the processes and the exciting work of the employees. This makes it clear once again: Inclusion is a profitable business for everyone involved!
