50th anniversary at VIAOPTIC

01.08.2023

Volkmar Groß began his apprenticeship as a toolmaker at Ernst Leitz Wetzlar GmbH, a predecessor of today's VIAOPTIC, on August 1, 1973, when he was 14 years old. "I was already interested in math and handicraft lessons during school, so I applied." At that time, the hiring process took place in the training center of the Hausertorwerk Wetzlar. He received the job offer on the same day.

After successfully completing his basic military service, he returned to work at the Leitz factories on January 1, 1979, mainly engaged in machine and bench work in cutting and stamping toolmaking.

As the plastic injection molding department expanded, he was increasingly involved in moldmaking, which laid the foundation for his current position as a machine setter.

We are proud to have such a dedicated and loyal employee among us. Volkmar Groß is a role model for the entire workforce and a symbol of continuity and success! Thank you!
