New face at Placke: Welcome, Marten!

In the first year of his apprenticeship, Marten Wichmann at our company in Melle learned the trade of a precision mechanic, specializing in Mechanical engineering.

At Placke, we manufacture Press brakes everything in-house – from cutting to assembly. Final assembly A large part of the components is created on-site, from individual machine parts to more complex assemblies. This gives an insight into the entire manufacturing process, rather than just individual sub-processes.

„For my training, I hope to acquire a broad technical foundation, as well as the opportunity to link theoretical knowledge from vocational school with practical application directly. The Placke GmbH offers the best prerequisites for this.“ – Marten Wichmann

We look forward to working together and wish Marten a good start.

Placke GmbH – Your partner for bending and for special solutions.
