Oerlikon

We are proud to have participated in Girls'Day - Mädchen-Zukunftstag in Germany, providing young women with insights into professions in which women have so far been underrepresented and inspiring them for their future careers. Oerlikon welcomed over thirty girls across six of our locations and showcased our diverse portfolio, allowing them to learn about coatings, additive manufacturing, polymer processing and digitization. According to the Competence Center Technology-Diversity-Equal Opportunities e. V. , 42 percent of Girls' Day participants can imagine returning to the company for an internship or training. So we look forward to meeting our young visitors again soon! At Oerlikon we took part in the event for the first time but is was a great and inspiring experience. Big thanks to our HR Team in Germany for organizing all the visits! And thanks to the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany (BMBF) for driving this event! #GirlsDay #STEMeducation #OerlikonCareer

At our company, we believe in nurturing curiosity in young minds from an early age. We view engineering as both a mindset and a body of knowledge, and as such, we support educational initiatives that encourage children to consider careers in manufacturing. In February, our team in Thailand was thrilled to host Anna Ryzhova, our Chief Human Resources Officer, for a Corporate Social Responsibility activity at Banyansue School. This local primary school in Chonburi has around two hundred students. During the visit our management team had the opportunity to explore the classrooms and activity areas, interact with the students, chat with the school director, and donate IT equipment, stationery, and funds contributed by our employees. We believe that investing in the education and well-being of our communities is a crucial part of our company's responsibility. By encouraging and supporting young people to explore their interests and potential, we hope to build a brighter future for everyone.
