There are no soloists in this area.

The biggest challenge at our job comes with the sudden stalling of larger proportions. When the extent and the cause of elimination is known, action can be quick and routine. Otherwise, the situation is usually very complex and can also be stressful. However, it is in such cases that the unity, knowledge, experience and motivation of the team, which is indispensable in the work, are shown. There are no soloists in this area.

Machinists are an important part of our production.

Machinists represent are an important part of our production. Without them, production processes would not run smoothly and as well as they do. The biggest challenge comes when there is some new error that I have not yet encountered and I am trying to fix it. Of course, this is most pronounced on an afternoon or night shift when no technologists are present. But with our combined efforts we always eliminate the issue. Some take a little longer than others, but we are always happy to fix them and learn a lot from them.
