The concept of sustainability is becoming increasingly important.

“A principle according to which no more may be consumed than can be regrown, regenerated or made available again in the future,” is how the Duden thesaurus defines the term “sustainability.” It therefore means utilising resources such that they are preserved for future generations. At POLAR-FORM, we have firmly anchored this principle in our corporate philosophy.

Dieter Göppert can look back on an impressive career, 

which started 40 years ago with an apprenticeship in mould-making with Albert Nestler i.K. In 1993, along with 15 other employees, he was taken over by POLAR-FORM Werkzeugbau GmbH, a company newly founded by Mr. Jo Pollaert. After several years as Production Manager, Dieter moved to Sales and rose quickly to become Sales Manager. Following on from this, he took on the role of Deputy Managing Director and has been Managing Partner of POLARFORM Werkzeugbau GmbH since 2009.

 

POLAR-FORM plays an important role for Dieter...

Forgetting work for a while and enjoying a lovely afternoon together.

 

On Wednesday, 10 April 2024 at 12.00 noon, we set off from Lahr by bus towards the town of Wörth am Rhein. Upon our arrival in Wörth we enjoyed a fantastic tour of the Daimler Truck AG commercial vehicle assembly plant. 
 

​

On Friday 5th  July 2024, the starting shot for the Lahr company marathon will sound for the sixth time. We have been involved since the first company marathon in Lahr and are delighted to be a sponsor for the second time. 

The Lahr company marathon is popular in the region. Every year, cheerful and motivated employees from hundreds of companies come together in excited anticipation of this running event!

​

This year, as part of our apprenticeship program, we are once again inviting young people to come and learn more about us.

 

This time, however, young "expedition participants" will have an opportunity to discover more about the available apprenticeships and participating companies before this year's JOBXPEDITION kicks off, by attending our Basecamp (Marktstrasse 33, Lahr). 

​

We have achieved a major milestone and would like to congratulate our apprentices on passing their examinations!

The entire POLAR-FORM team would like to congratulate our two former apprentices Jan and Maximilian for passing their final exams and becoming fully-fledged toolmakers. Completing their training means they have taken a very important step in their lives. The apprentices learned a great deal during their apprenticeships and are now well prepared for the challenges of professional life. 

​

On Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd February 2024 the JOBkLAHR air was held for the first time in Lahr. Some 50 exhibitors from various sectors presented their apprenticeship trades and highlighted further training opportunities. POLAR-FORM was there too, of course!
 
We held many great conversations with impending school leavers... and occasionally played a round of table football – something our apprentices built as part of their project work.
