Mayser Standard Safety Bumpers are now expanding the product range in the safety technology sector. In addition to Mayser customised safety bumpers, these bumpers reliably and cost-effectively protect pinching and shearing edges in mechanical engineering, in platform technology and on hangar doors as well as the travel distance on AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles).

At the world's leading trade fair for roller shutters, doors and sun protection systems, Mayser, as an expert in safety technology, will be presenting innovative concepts for securing automatic closing functions. he Perimeter Protection Group, whose focus is on products and systems in the field of perimeter protection, also relies on components from Mayser to secure locking processes. At our booth 10B48, the experts from both companies will demonstrate how control and security technology can be optimally integrated.

When the pictures of the earthquake catastrophe in the Turkish-Syrian border region went around the world at the beginning of February, the desire to help was also great at Mayser. A fundraising campaign initiated by Petra Schleicher, Head of Product & Sales in the headwear division, raised more than 800 euros. This sum was almost doubled by the management of the Lindenberg company, so that Petra Schleicher was able to hand over an amount of 1,500 euros to humedica e.V. on May 25.

After Paul Graule successfully completed his studies last fall, Mayser has continued the Deutschlandstipendium as sponsor for Thomas Blessing since March 2023. In April, HR Director Winfried Wanka and HR Business Partner Sandra Handerer personally welcomed the scholarship holder to the Ulm site. In addition to getting to know each other, he was given an insight into the company's history, products and markets.

It hums and buzzes on the meadow behind the farmstead in Weißenhorn, where beefuture GmbH has its headquarters. There are about 20 bee hives right here on site, and about 900 more scattered all over Germany and in Austria. Unfortunately, you hear the buzzing less and less - since 1950, the number of bee colonies in Germany has decreased by more than 25 %.

The workshop of the Ulm Easter Bunnies, or at least a branch of it, is located this year in Örlinger Straße in the premises of the Mayser company. In addition to safety sensors, more than 200 Easter nests were made here in the first weeks of spring. This is the result of the Easter Nest campaign, which Mayser trainees initiated and organised in cooperation with the Ulm Tafel food bank. When the nests were distributed on 14.04.2022 in the Tafel premises, the children of the Tafel customers were able to enjoy individually assembled Easter nests.

Since the recommendation by the federal and state governments to use everyday masks as a measure to contain SARS-CoV-2, everyday masks 'made by Mayser' have been available to employees at the Ulm and Lindenberg sites from the works councils. At the beginning of December, part of the proceeds from the sale was donated to the Förderkreis für tumor- und leukämiekranke Kinder Ulm e.V. (sponsoring group for children with tumours and leukaemia) for the benefit of a Santa Claus project.

Sustainable optimisation of processes and procedures

Dynamic markets require dynamic companies that undergo continuous change, in order to constantly reconfigure and optimise their processes and operations with the goal of sustainability. Lisa Kreuseler learned how this can be achieved in advanced training as a “Production Manager CIC”.

Additional qualification as International Clerk for apprentices

Since 2016 Mayser apprentices have been participating regularly in the CIC additional qualification “International Clerk” in London. The goal is to prepare future specialists for the requirements of the European labour market and to teach them intercultural competences. In the spring of 2020, Mayser apprentice Janina Miller successfully completed the three-week course.

Distinction as nation’s best milliner

Sinayda Pley achieved the best achievement in the exam for the milliner apprenticeship in 2019. The former Mayser apprentice received the award at the “National Honours Presentation in ICC Occupations” of the German International Chamber of Commerce (GICC) on 9 December 2019 in Berlin. Sinayda Pley was trained in the artisan trade of hat making from September 2016 to July 2019 at the Mayser plant in Lindenberg, under the expert guidance of Training Director Ulrike Aßfalg.

In contact early on with specialists of tomorrow

In the winter semester 2011/2012, the German federal government initiated the German stipend to assist talented and high-achieving students. During the ongoing semester, eleven students at the THU will again benefit from the stipend, which is funded equally by private sponsors and the federal government. Paul Graule, who is studying mechatronics, is the sixth student to receive the stipend under Mayser’s sponsorship.

Taking the cold plunge (or not)

You’ve graduated from school, signed your trainee contract, and are looking forward to your first paycheck – but uncertainties arise as you are about to begin your first year of training. How are things done here? Where do I find who I am looking for? Who can I ask and what would others do in my situation? These and other questions were answered by the training team during the traditional Introductory Days at the beginning of September, which was attended by all 15 trainees in Ulm and Lindenberg.

Lindenberg company outing 2019

In July of this year the employees of the Lindenberg location again took part in the annual company outing. Divided into three groups, the Mayser employees set off for the “Hofgut Ratzenberg” farm restaurant. This year’s highlight: All employees had the opportunity to say goodbye over coffee and cake to Managing Director Manfred Jordan, who is entering his well-earned retirement after many years of loyal service.

5,203 kilometres to protect the climate

For the sixth year in a row, Mayser employees in Lindenberg left their cars parked to participate in the nationwide “Stadtradeln” city cycling campaign. During the event, which lasted from 24 June to 17 July 2019, the 31 employees cycled a total of 5,203 kilometres. This corresponds to an average of 168 kilometres per cyclist and CO2 savings of 739 kilograms. Compared to last year the employees from Lindenberg increased the total distance cycled by more than 1,000 kilometres. In September, the employees in Ulm will likewise have the opportunity to take part in the event.

Award of German language course certificates

Mayser currently employs people of more than 30 different nationalities – some of whom have only rudimentary knowledge of German. To improve in-house communication and interaction with fellow employees, and also to ensure work safety and high quality, the company has offered an in-house course in German – with great success! After 17 intensive weeks, all 18 participants passed the course and proudly received their certificates at the beginning of July.

In the party mood with International guests

Under sunny skies 370 visitors gathered at the courtyard of the Ulm location for the company-wide summer party. The highlights of this year’s party: the traditional manning of the grill by members of management as a way of thanking the employees for their daily commitment, an art contest for the kids followed by a sale of the pictures for a good cause, and a hat fashion show, in memory of how it all began

Mayser receives training certificate 2019 PLUS

The importance of opportunities for young people is not limited to sports. In times of shortage of specialists it is very important for enterprises to give young people the opportunity for high-quality training, to encourage and prepare them for their careers. Such training is long established at Mayser. As an enterprise in the field of foam and safety technology Mayser is aware of its responsibility for providing young people with the best training possible. As in 2018, Ulm’s Chamber of Industry and Commerce again rewarded this contribution, with the training certificate 2019 PLUS.

Strong team effort brings Mayser all the way to the quarter-finals

On 6 July 2019 Mayser competed with more than 20 other teams in the traditional West Allgäu company football tournament. As opposed to previous years where the team consisted exclusively of employees from Lindenberg, players from Ulm joined the team for this year’s tournament. Ideal weather conditions for football provided the perfect setting for an enjoyable day of team play beyond the workaday world. 

Innovative thinking begins in the training phase

Whether in an IT project or a marketing campaign: Comprehensive project management is the key to success. But how can one of the numerous new methods be optimally adapted to a project and a team? Mayser is continuously in search of pioneering ideas in order to further increase the effectiveness of projects and processes. That is why a bachelor student of the Neu-Ulm University wrote her final thesis this year at Mayser on the subject “Agile project management for trade fair organisation”. The thesis focuses on adapting the Scrum method to trade fair planning at Mayser. 

Mayser gains PSI as new sales partner

This year Mayser gained PSI, which specialises in pneumatics and sensors, as a new sales partner. This cooperation will allow Mayser to further expand the sales network in Ireland and to provide extensive consulting services for the customers located there. Another advantage: We can better assess the local market situation and respond faster to changes. Mayser employee Kim Wiker has already visited PSI, to prepare the team for its new task in an in-depth product training program. The cooperation can therefore begin as planned on 1 July.

Environmental management: Mayser grows with the requirements

Since 2010 the experts from TÜV Süd have visited the Mayser locations in Ulm once per year to audit the company’s environmental management system. In May, this audit was completed for the tenth time – and Mayser once again received the ISO 14001 certification. However, both the auditors and those being audited are aware that the process of developing into an environmentally friendly company is never complete. Because the requirements continue to grow year for year.

Campaign “500 bottle caps for a life without polio”

Social commitment is a high priority at Mayser, which is why we always support the dedication of our employees to a good cause. The bottle cap collection campaign of the registered association “Deckel drauf” (which translates loosely as ‘Put a lid on it’) inspired the apprentices in Lindenberg to start their own campaign. Located in Nuremberg, the association is collecting plastic screw-on bottle caps through the end of June 2019 in a campaign titled “Caps against polio” to generate donations for vaccinations to prevent the disease. The campaign, which was initiated in 2014, so far has financed three million oral vaccinations worldwide. 

A corporate volunteering project sponsored by Mayser promotes the personal development of the company’s apprentices while simultaneously supporting Ulm’s “Aufschnaufhaus”, a temporary home for handicapped children and youths.

Not quite ready for the “scrap heap”

Sustainability is a major issue – also at Mayser. We look closely at what is still usable and what belongs on the “scrap heap”. In any case, not the nursing care bed that served us well in our product development. The Mayser Works Council in Ulm therefore took the initiative and auctioned off the bed, which was still in good condition, instead of disposing of it.

Personality as an aspect of competence

When we search to recruit the specialists of tomorrow at career fairs such as “zukunftwangen”, we are of course always interested in competences – but not only professional ones. The cultural fit of a future employee is gaining importance in the field of recruiting. That is why we at Mayser place high importance on human and social capabilities, and offer our apprentices numerous measures for personal development. Most recently with competence training, which gave the apprentices in Ulm and Lindenberg valuable insights for their career and private lives.

Automated transport systems need the USi®

The 17th edition of LogiMAT, the International Trade Fair for Intralogistics Solutions and Process Management, set new records this year for exhibitors and visitors.

The highlight of our exhibit was once again the USi®.

Sales partner represents Mayser at Euro Expo

Euro Expo in Västerås, Sweden, is certainly not the biggest trade fair where Mayser products will be on exhibit this year. But it is important for the continued expansion of our network in Sweden and for boosting the image of our USi® ultrasonic sensors in Scandinavia. This is the task of our distributor “SensorGruppen”, which presented the USi® at the regional industrial trade fair at the end of January.

Mayser customer event in Alcalá de Henares

Social commitment is a tradition at Mayser. Because we regularly support charitable organizations and projects. On St. Nicholas’ Day, first-year trainees initiated a charity drive for Ulm’s hospice. They raised funds by baking cakes for their fellow employees.

Fast, faster, Mayser trainees

Last year, the trainees in Ulm visited their colleagues in Lindenberg; the return visit took place recently. The trainees at both locations have been looking forward to the visit for a long time – especially the excursion to the “Ecodrom” indoor go-cart track in Neu-Ulm. Thrilling races gave Mayser’s young talent a chance to demonstrate speed and control.

HRC sector relies on Mayser’s ultrasonic expertise

At the end of October, some 120 decision-makers and users from the field of human-robot collaboration (HRC) met at the Human-Robot Forum in Stuttgart. In recent years Mayser has earned a reputation as a specialist for non-touch collision protection systems in this fast-growing market. One of the speakers at the forum was Mayser robotics expert Matthias Schwerthalter from the Lindenberg location who discussed the use of ultrasonic sensors in HRC.

Interesting conversations between lecture hall and career entry

On 24 October 2018 we sought contact with students at the University of Ulm’s career fair, to make them aware of Mayser as an innovative industrial enterprise and attractive employer in the region. Numerous visitors to our booth resulted in interesting conversations with promising candidates especially in the field of electrical engineering.

Online positions: Mayser in search of specialists

Due to the shortage of skilled personnel, enterprises in the Ulm area have long faced the challenge of finding candidates for open positions in skilled trades and industrial occupations. That makes it all the more important for Mayser to be represented at such events as the Young Talents Day in Neu-Ulm’s Ratiopharm Arena. This year Mayser again used the opportunities offered by the event for meeting and talking to potential future employees from diverse technical fields.

Isotron becomes Mayser sales partner in Benelux

In mid-July 2018 Mayser began a cooperation with the automation specialist Isotron Systems as a sales partner. As a result Mayser is now better positioned in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, with improved local support. Isotron is expanding its product portfolio to include Mayser safety products – such as safety mats and edges, sensor profiles, safety bumpers and safety shoes, in addition to the USi^® ultrasonic sensor.

Lindenberg and Ulm: A strong running team

In the 14th Einstein Marathon, Mayser employees from Lindenberg and Ulm displayed outstanding sportsmanship and team spirit. This year marked the 3rd time that Mayser sent a team to participate in the local event. The runners achieved a respectable result, with a total of 269 kilometres.

Mayser celebration and opening ceremony in Belleville

In 2008, when Mayser opened the first subsidiary outside of Europe in Belleville, Michigan, that was a big step for the company. Our courage paid off: Since 2012 Mayser has its own production capacities there, currently with a total of 140 employees in production and sales. The employees, together with their families and business partners, celebrated this success and the 10th anniversary of Mayser USA on 25 August in a very successful event. The highlight of the day was the official opening of the new company premises.

About 140 kilometres for a good cause

At the 12-hour run of the Oberstaufen-Westallgäu Lionsclub, the Mayser running team defied the heat on 30 June, and showed themselves to be in top form.

A total of 350 guests attended this year’s party – 100 more than last year! Highlights included such diverse activities as the search for the “Mayser Super Talent” and the children’s painting contest. In an auction, the pictures raised a sum of 1000 euros for a good cause.

Mayser receives training certificate 2018 plus

As a leading manufacturer of foam and safety technology we at Mayser traditionally see it as our responsibility to recruit competent junior staff. We recognise the importance of high-quality training and support Ulm’s Chamber of Industry and Commerce with voluntary examiners. But our apprentices are also active as volunteers, because personal responsibility and social competence are important traits that Mayser promotes in its employees. Mayser’s commitment has now been recognised by Ulm’s Chamber of Industry and Commerce with the award of the training certificate 2018 plus.

Fun and socializing after hours

Finally time for longer conversations, to get to know the colleagues better and to talk about something other than work for a change – that was the purpose of the after-work event organised by the Mayser Works Council on 17 May in the “Barfüßer” brewery in Ulm. The first event of this type was the starting signal for a new team event format: Four times a year all employees will be able to celebrate the end of the workday in the company of their colleagues, at alternating locations.

Posting, sharing, riding the roller coaster

Virtual success – very real fun: With the support of the Mayser trainees at the Ulm and Lindenberg locations, the company’s Facebook page was launched successfully last year.
