We are employers of the future
We are employers of the future
One of the future success factors for companies is to be at the forefront of the megatrends of digitalisation and sustainability. Digitalisation has already significantly changed mechanical engineering. Companies must therefore know exactly what is important in the digital future of mechanical engineering. We have recognised this and have been working on corresponding projects for years. The German Innovation Institute for Sustainability and Digitalisation has therefore honoured the HILGER & KERN GROUP as an "Employer of the Future".
