With care and precision to the Unimatic
With his affable manner and a good dose of perfectionism, Blerim Memeti has worked as a production employee for Unimatic washing machines for over 14 years. From packing the machines to installing sensitive electronics, the perfectionism of this father-of-two is equally noticeable in every step of the process. Since the first Unimatic came off the production line in 1950, plenty has changed in the production facility, but one thing has stayed the same: people are still at the heart of the manufacturing process, assembling our Unimatics with a great deal of care and precision.

Swiss Coolness
As soon as you set foot in the V-ZUG cooling technology factory, you can immediately sense how much of Zug there is in the place. Located in Arbon on Lake Constance, the 143 employees are geographically remote from Zug, but V-ZUG blood certainly flows through their veins. “I’ve always worked for traditional Swiss companies,” explains Andreas Albrecht, Head of Production. “That has always been important for me.” It’s for this reason that he and his personality are such a good fit with V-ZUG, as he himself says. And Adrian Bachmann is also proud to work for a brand that instils confidence: “Top-class Swiss quality is what constitutes a good fridge for me – and as a Swiss firm, that makes us strong.” Continue reading

Dishwashers – Powerful kitchen appliances that make you and your dishes shine
She is in the prime of her life and also enjoys getting stuck into the production herself. This is not typical of a team leader on the production line, but this is not an issue for Mara Koleva: “Sometimes you have to go back to the source of the work to understand the basics.” She wishes to lead by example and also show her team that she knows what she’s talking about. Doing so helps her to relate to and understand the concerns and challenges facing her staff: “I can only ask people to do things that I have tried myself with my own hands”, explains Koleva. And she asks for a lot because, at the end of the day, dishwashers of the highest quality must leave the production hall. “To achieve this, you have to have a clear line.” Continue reading
