Freudenberg Service Support

Freudenberg Service Support has begun training young people again, providing a training service for other Freudenberg companies at the Weinheim location. The company took over responsibility for training from Freudenberg Systems and Tool Engineering effective September 1, 2003. That was the day when 101 young people started work for the very first time at Freudenberg in Weinheim. Freudenberg is thus one of the largest training companies along the “Bergstraße” (Mountain Road) in Germany.

Freudenberg Service Support provides technical services and operates the Freudenberg Group industrial sites in Weinheim and Neuenburg. The Industrial Technology Department offers its customers comprehensive solutions for the erection and relocation of machinery, plant and the associated infrastructure. Freudenberg Service Support earns some 88 percent of its sales from business with other companies in the Group.

Freudenberg Service Support came up with 9 projects for the “We all take care” initiative. One particularly interesting project is the development of a comprehensive, cost-effective concept for an electrical system for safety measurements on stationary plant and machinery. Thanks to this concept, machine downtimes have been shortened and the number of safety checks expanded.

For the current financial year, Freudenberg Service Support intends to increase the share of sales accounted for by companies that do not belong to the Freudenberg Group in order to stabilize the general sales situation.
