• Seventeen junior employees are starting at the logistics service provider trans-o-flex in eight different training and study programmes
  • More than 80% of all trainees are taken on after successfully completing their training

"We want to give young people the opportunity to individually shape their future. At the same time, we would like to meet the foreseeable shortage of skilled workers with our differentiated offer of training." For Wolfgang P. Albeck, CEO of trans-o-flex, these are the main reasons why the company, which specialises in logistics solutions for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, consumer electronics and other high-end sensitive goods sectors, employs around 35 trainees and students each year. Currently, 17 young women and men have embarked on a multi-year training scheme at trans-o-flex or are due to commence an integrated degree programme in October. Four trainees who have successfully completed their training have been taken on in permanent positions.

"Today, in logistics, young people have access to a wide range of training opportunities that offer them highly interesting prospects also in the long term." In the last five years, trans-o-flex has taken on up to 80% of trainees in permanent employment. Many former trainees now work in management positions at trans-o-flex. "But good training is not just the result of targeted talent management", says Albeck. "As a company, we also see a social commitment in supporting excellent training. After all, the integrated degree system is one of the success factors of the economy in Germany. "

trans-o-flex’s trainee schemes include office management, freight forwarding and logistics services (with the additional qualification Logistics Assistant), IT specialists, warehouse logistics specialists as well as specialists for courier, express and postal services. These training courses usually start on the 1st August of each year. In addition, trans-o-flex employs students on integrated degree programmes starting in October. During the three-year undergraduate degree programme, students receive a theoretical foundation at a university and deepen their knowledge in practical phases within the company. trans-o-flex offers degree programmes in information technology, business informatics as well as business administration with special focus on forwarding, transport and logistics.

Über trans-o-flex Express GmbH & Co. KGaA

The trans-o-flex Group’s core competence focuses on the provision of logistic solutions for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and consumer electronics industries as well on the transportation of other high-quality, sensitive goods. For the transportation of pharmaceutical products, trans-o-flex has built a nationwide network that includes active temperature control and full documentation. To this end, the company, in its Pharma Logistics business area, has installed transport systems that are suitable for the transportation of pharmaceutical products in the temperature ranges of between 15 and 25 °C and between 2 and 8 °C in compliance with the EU directives for the transportation of pharmaceutical products. In its Technology Logistics business area, trans-o-flex organises transports for customers from other industries, mainly consumer electronics. These customers also benefit from the high standards with respect to safety, hygiene, reliability and transparency which trans-o-flex has established for the pharmaceutical industry. In its Contract Logistics business area, trans-o-flex bundles services from storage and picking & packing up to individual value-added services. At an international level, trans-o-flex focuses on the implementation of logistic concepts via the networks EUROTEMP (temperature-controlled logistics) and EURODIS (in 36 European countries). Both nationally and internationally, trans-o-flex, in contrast to 100-% parcel services or forwarding agencies, delivers both goods in parcels and on pallets and also offers special services, such as the transportation of hazardous goods (without being limited to small quantities), express and time-window deliveries, shipment consolidation as well as direct deliveries. Thus, the company covers the entire logistic chain from procurement and warehousing to distribution and fulfilment. In 2017, annual sales of the trans-o-flex Group, which has a workforce of approximately 2,060 employees, amounted to ca. € 459 million. For more information, go to www.trans-o-flex.com.
