"My path to IVT began in 1995 at the Würth Group as an application engineer. At that time, together with the Würth sales force, I looked after the new PRINETO product group and supported it from the very beginning. Since the products have inspired me ever since and they were an innovation and novelty on the market at that time, I decided to join IVT. Even after more than 25 years, I appreciate the versatility of my profession and the values of the company, such as the flat hierarchies. The quality of IVT products motivates me every day to convince my existing and future customers of IVT.

"IVT has given me the opportunity to work in all commercial areas and to get to know every company process. The theoretical basics that I learned during the block teaching phases at the Akademie Handel in Nuremberg could thus be put into practice directly in my everyday work. The family atmosphere was particularly decisive for the start of my training at IVT. The daily tasks and projects are managed in the respective departments as a team, whereby no distinction is made between junior staff and more experienced employees. With your own projects that you are given, the daily work routine also always remains varied."

„Bei Preisverhandlungen den bestmöglichen Preis zu verhandeln, zählt zu einer meiner Herausforderungen innerhalb meines Aufgabenbereiches. Aus diesem Grund ist für mich die gegenseitige Unterstützung und das Vertrauen innerhalb der Abteilung sehr wichtig. Doch auch eine angenehme Arbeitsatmosphäre ist mir bei meinem Arbeitgeber von großer Bedeutung. Hierzu trägt IVT nicht nur mit seinem familiären Betriebsklima und dem respektvollen Umgang mit den Kolleg:innen bei, sondern kann auch mit seinem schönen Verwaltungsgebäude punkten.“

"I came across IVT through a friend. During an internship, I was able to gain my first insights into the profession and immediately applied for an apprenticeship as a warehouse logistics specialist at IVT. You are considered a full team member right from the start of your training. There is a family-like atmosphere in the company, even in logistics, where I spend most of my working day. During the training at IVT, you quickly get your own tasks and projects, but if you get stuck, you get a lot of support from your colleagues, who help you at any time. I successfully completed my training last year and have enjoyed working as a warehouse logistics specialist at IVT ever since. New and varied tasks are waiting for me every day.

"My second job besides IVT is being a mother. For this reason, flexibility plays a big role for me. Thanks to the flexible working time models and the mobile office option, I can optimally adjust my work-life balance and reconcile it in the best possible way for me. I am happy to be part of the IVT family."

"No day is like the other. When I go to work in the morning, I look forward to the daily challenges and the exchange with my colleagues. The open and constructive way of dealing with each other creates a working atmosphere in which you can rely on your colleagues. Together, the tasks are mastered as a team.

"When I talk to my colleagues about highlights at IVT, they regularly mention the company trip to Austria for the 25th anniversary of the company. But the other events, such as the summer parties and Christmas celebrations, are also given great importance at IVT. At these events, people are not only happy to see the entire IVT team, but they also receive recognition for their hard work.

"I had already been working in the Würth Group for years before IVT. I decided to change from a pure trading company to a manufacturing company in order to face the diverse challenges in a new working environment. In my current area of responsibility, I am the link between the internal sales team and the field sales team. Keeping the balance is a challenge every day. But since we all pull together, we overcome the daily hurdles and achieve success together.

"If I had to describe IVT in three words, they would be: Open, fair, collegial. In upcoming projects, communication is open from the beginning and tasks are distributed fairly. Even if there are disagreements, everyone is given the opportunity to express and defend their point of view. There is no imposed structure here; instead, we benefit from the diverse ideas of each individual employee. Due to my interdepartmental topics, I also have a lot of contact with the other departments on a regular basis. That's why I look forward all the more to the daily lunch break, where I get to know my colleagues from a different perspective.

"After my apprenticeship in wholesale and foreign trade management at IVT, I switched to the technical field. My own personality and individual career are in the foreground. Due to the freedom I get in my field of activity and projects, I regularly seize the opportunity to discover and develop my potential."

"I have been part of the IVT team since 2005 and have come to appreciate the company over the years. One of my highlights has been the appointment as a specialist. The fact that my commitment and dedication is recognised is a great appreciation for me. This gives me freedom in my work, which reflects IVT's confidence in me as a person and in my work."

"Before starting my career at IVT, I completed my studies at the TU Ilmenau. Looking back, I can say that I couldn't have wished for a better employer for my career start than IVT. Why is that? IVT is a very fair and family-oriented company where the work of each individual is recognised and appreciated. At IVT, I can put exciting and challenging projects into action every day."
