The company believes that a key reason for choosing Knoblinger is that both young talents and established employees are currently offered good development and further training opportunities. “We are currently undergoing an exciting development in which the organization is being reorganized and aligned even more closely with the needs of our customers,” explains Zuser. “Our focus in the near future will continue to be on the digitalization of workflows, automation where automation makes sense, and of course product and service development.”
