“As a master roofer, I sent a speculative application to Dörken and was hired as an application engineer; I soon transferred to the Project Development department, and took advanced training as an energy consultant and an English course – I was given time off, and the company took care of the costs. Then I took on a field position as a regional sales manager. Now I work as Technical Consultant & Territory Sales Manager in Canada. There’s lots to do here...! And you get a lot back for what you give the company. I want to achieve something, and that’s why I’m here. So, step on it! Full throttle!”

- Adrian Wegner, at Dörken since 2010
- Bianca Kube, at Dörken since 1987“I started my vocational training at Dörken in 1987. Two years later, I was a qualified industrial management assistant. A year later, I started my evening course in business administration, graduating as a certified business administration graduate. I have worked in various commercial departments in the company. When I had my daughter in 1995, the company and especially the management board were a great help!”
- Eva Wolf & David Wawrzynczok, at Dörken since 1989 / 2010“I have been working at Dörken in the laboratory, testing product quality since 1989. First paint, then corrosion protection. In the meantime, I have been able to attend many seminars to keep up to date as a paint laboratory technician. And then my son applied to Dörken as well. He was accepted and completed his cooperative education programme as an Industrial management assistant / Bachelor of Arts (BA). Now he is a Team Leader for Project, Process and Digital Management. We are the Dörken Dream Team!”
- Hajo Schütz, at Dörken since 1989“First an engineering degree, then to Dörken. That was almost 27 years ago. Since then, I have lived and breathed paint – developing initial paint mixing systems, new paint formulae, mixing machines for wholesalers, member of production management, Europe-wide expansion... For our customers, I am the paint whisperer – for Dörken, a midwife and an evangelist. Dörken is fun – the work, the colleagues, the workplaces, all of it. People are challenged and fostered here, and life is diverse. And my world is so colourful!”
- Melanie Kufahl, at Dörken since 2001“15 years after my vocational training, I am still happy at Dörken, this innovative and tradition-conscious family company. First as a dispatcher, then as a personnel officer, and now as Head of the Internal Sales Team. What I love is the independent nature of the work, the flexibility and the development opportunities. Anyone who wants to do something, can... and advances. Of course, I have never been anywhere else. But I can just do something different here!”
- Olaf Altenscheidt, at Dörken since 1997“I have been working at Dörken for over 20 years now, and have gotten to know various departments. I have been team leader in MKS production for several years, with responsibility for production of corrosion protection products. Dörken is almost like a family. For me, they are THE employer.”
