Whether customer, supplier, employee or manager: we treat each other with respect and fairness.
Whether customer, supplier, employee or manager: we treat each other with respect and fairness.
We make sure that you are well, keep you informed and are open to your questions and suggestions.
Work is an opportunity to grow, learn something new and achieve common goals.
Our customers are people who entrust us with their orders and pay us. We therefore do our best to satisfy them every day.
We like to celebrate joint and personal successes. They motivate us to make even more progress.
We are committed to finding perfect solutions with good ideas. We are prepared to break new ground to achieve this.
We would rather risk making the wrong decisions than nothing happening. Every employee has the opportunity to make their own decisions.
Work is a part of our lives that brings us joy, money and success. But we know that there is more.
You’re just one click away from joining our team! We look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you. 🙂
In IT, we support all OKE locations worldwide. I work flexitime, so I can take advantage of time differences – on the other hand, I can also simply stay at home a little longer in the morning.
After graduating as an industrial engineer, I was able to experience interesting specialist areas at OKE and have been heading the development department at OKE Automotive since 2018.
We are ›furniture developers‹ with heart and soul. As a team, we often advise customers directly on site. And even when Ralph is out and about visiting customers on his own as a sales representative, we stay in close contact. With video calls, we even develop products together when there are several kilometers between us.
For visitors, I am the first face or the first voice on the phone. I make sure that everyone finds their contact person. But I also coordinate many other processes here at reception. For example, I organize the language courses for our employees or the use of our pool vehicles.
About 70 percent of our workforce works in the production environment. High-quality work clothes, sufficient occupational health and safety as well as good lighting conditions and controlled temperatures play a major role here.
We equip the workstations in our offices with height-adjustable desks, laptops, multiple monitors, high-quality headsets and a comprehensive software package (Office365) as required.
And for the sake of completeness: coffee machines and water dispensers at central points in production and administration can be used by everyone.
Teamwork is our top priority. We place particular emphasis on treating one another fairly and interacting as equals, which we underscore by using the informal ›Du‹. We offer this to everyone who wants to get involved and learn more. Because we believe the greatest potential for the development of us all lies in the diversity of our personalities.
We are inquisitive and personal commitment pays off. Our internal suggestion scheme rewards optimisation approaches that drive us forward. In addition, we grant various bonuses for health-promoting behaviour, for hiring new employees based on a recommendation, and we pay out anniversary bonuses.
For us, occupational health management has always been more than just exercise balls and nutrition tips. Whether in the company gym or in partnership with an external gym, exercise is a welcome change from the daily work routine. Body and mind are thankful when we use the workout equipment, attend fitness classes, get out the mountain bikes, play basketball or volleyball, jog together—all with professional support from our on-site health managers if needed. They have the expertise when it comes to individual training plans, physiotherapy or injury prevention. And of course they have a few nutrition tips at hand if needed.
Admittedly, we love changes. They have made us successful. At the same time, economic success also ensures our personal development. Our continuing education programs help you take the next steps. Whether technical or product training, English for apprentices or management training, internal and external trainers regularly open up new perspectives for us. We are currently expanding the range of digital forms of learning on a large scale.
The OKE Group consists of a total of 16 individual companies that combine, complement, and expand their areas of expertise in a highly effective manner. Our locations in Germany and around the world—from Brazil to Vietnam—offer a wide range of career opportunities. You can advance from one department to another, move between locations, or even work abroad. Many possibilities are open to you; we just need to talk about them.
Our extensive fleet now includes 40 electric vehicles—and that number is growing. This saves fuel and is fun, especially for our carpools in production. We provide them with a car free of charge for their shared commute.
OKE Kinderhilfe collects and coordinates donations from employees in order to provide meaningful help on a larger scale. The money goes entirely to our projects. Our goal: helping people to help themselves, especially in education, and to give as many children as possible in developing countries a chance to live and work well.
With our large photovoltaic farm at the Hörstel site, we were among the pioneers promoting the use of solar energy in companies. A lot has happened since then! It is not only the charging points for our e-fleet that contribute to increasing our sustainability but also over 200 individual measures, such as the switch to LED lamps, the use of modern cooling and compressed air systems, heat recovery, recycling and much more.
