Internship report Jakob Niederhofer Teil 1
Working at GNA
What does a typical day/week look like during your internship?
"There is no such thing as a typical day. I am involved in many projects at the same time. So every day is different. In my opinion, that's exactly what makes an internship exciting. I have various meetings with colleagues from the USA and also with colleagues from Kreuztal. We are in constant communication. In the last few weeks, colleagues from Germany even came to Roanoke for a working visit. At the weekend we went on a great hike in the Appalachian Mountains. That was very cool!"
What projects are you working on? Or do you just have to make coffee :-) ?
"Fortunately, I don't just have to make coffee. For example, we are currently working on expanding the logistics infrastructure at our site in Roanoke to improve GEORG's expansion in the North American market. I can play an active role here as well as in various lean production and lean management projects and, in particular, I can coordinate closely with the headquarters in Kreuztal."

Thank you Branco.
For 37 years, our colleague Branco Matejka provided our customers with help and advice. First in service for many years, then as a Sales Engineer. With the exception of Australia and New Zealand, he has traveled the whole world for us. And finally, he trained his successor, our former dual student Felix Wacker. Now his retirement begins.
We will miss you, Branco. As a full-blooded transformer man. As a GEORGian. As a person. Thank you, Branco.

BA degree R. Pankratz (dual student)
Young talent made by GEORG: We are delighted with our dual student Reinmar Pankratz, who has achieved a great Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. Hats off, not only for the great grades, but also for the practically relevant results of his bachelor's thesis. We can implement these directly in the machine development of our transformer lines.
We congratulate you on your excellent degree and are delighted that we will be able to actively support you during your Master's degree.
Congratulations to Simon Weber (DS Mechanical Engineering) 2024
As one of the most attractive employers in our industry, we consistently produce high potentials. Simon Weber, for example, who has now successfully completed his mechanical engineering degree. Simon worked in our Roll Grinding product area alongside his studies and also wrote his bachelor's thesis there. His technical research is very valuable to us, so we will be implementing it.
Thank you, Simon! We are delighted to have you on board and look forward to working with you in the future.
