The manufacturer of high pressure vices based in Bavaria, Germany reports a growth trajectory that is expected to reach pre-Covid levels by 2023.

The request for common series products and innovative automation solutions is increasing more an more.

Thanks to mainly regional suppliers, a stable supply chain and an high in-house production share, Allmatic is and has always been able to deliver. Our series products are manufactured in large quantities, these are therefore available from stock for customers and partners. „We can proudly say that we were able to maintain a delivery performance of over 98% in the previous months“ emphasizes Managing Director Herbert Mayr.

By expanding our product range to become a full-range supplier, sales already increased by 28% compared to 2020.

The sales markets of Allmatic and it‘s digital business unit AllLite span 58 countries worldwide.
„We are working intensively on new products for our target markets – especially for the automation sector.  This is one of the reasons why we are planning to increase sales by 15% compared to the previous year“ says CEO Mayr.

In the first quater 2022, the manufacturer has already increased ist sales compared to first quater of the previous year by 57%. This allows a confident outlook for the future.

To support the health of our employees, we now offer the “Jobrad”
– a cycle to work scheme!

We as an employer lease the bike, our employees use it whenever they want: On the way to work or in their spare time.
In this way, our employees can keep fit and ALLMATIC also does something good for the environment and their health.

 

 

Our employees choose their favourite bike
– whether an e-bike, mountain bike or racing bike –
from all manufacturers and brands online or at their dealer.
We lease the bike and let our employees take full care of it.
This saves them up to 40% compared to the conventional purchase price.

“After a long day in office,
a bike ride on my new “Jobrad” is the perfect balance!“
– Gregor Gareis –

 

 

 

 

“I always wanted to have a high-end mountain bike according to my wishes,
ALLMATIC now offers me the opportunity to do that
and I save a lot of money at the same time.”
– Peter Koch – 

 

 

 

“I think it’s really great that ALLMATIC offers the “Jobrad”.
I’ve already done a few cycling tours with my colleagues
in the Allgäu region, which of course increases team building even more.”

Digital Training Center for Clamping Technology grabs attention of apprentices in  metalworking professions

A blown workpiece and misaligned boreholes…
Anyone working on a machine in this industry knows  the weak spots when a workpiece isn’t  handled properly. Aligning and clamping should be  part of the basic skill set in all metalworking  professions, and all companies would agree on that. However, that‘s not how it is in real life. “This basic  principle has not yet made its way into official  training materials, and GRIPP clamping, for  example, is not mentioned at all,” says Herbert Mayr,  operations manager at ALLMATIC. Mayr  himself serves as an examiner at the local chamber of  commerce and industry; he and his colleagues who work for the renowned vice specialist in  Unterthingau, have declared war on this superficial knowledge and started an initiative.

What ALLMATIC wants their Training Center apprentices to take home is how to clamp workpieces correctly and to understand how important this step is in the work process. “We have taken on the challenge and provide professional newcomers with the necessary basic knowledge – for free,” says Mayr. And by the way, you probably won’t get in a word edgewise once he starts talking about the feedback that  he has gotten from trainers after only a short period of time. “That’s a huge  compliment for the Training Center. The class is really great and will optimize our  training, which was solid already. E-Learning is the future, and I have to admit the  portal is really well-made. Kudos to you!” Peter Guggemos, for one, is thrilled.  Guggemos works as a trainer at Deckel Maho Pfronten, one of the world’s leading machine manufacturers.

The Chamber of Commerce and Industry likes what ALLMATIC does as well. „The new internet portal that teaches apprentices how to correctly use clamping systems is an excellent example of dedication & commitment to vocational training,” says Christian Munz, head of department at the CCI in Swabia.

“In our Training Center, you’ll learn clamping technology basics step by step – with  typical applications,” says Herbert Mayr to explain the idea his team had. What  makes it so special? In 12 lessons, ALLMATIC apprentices David and Dominik explain Linda in an interactive way how it should be done correctly. “Since we are a  manufacturer of vices, clamping technology is, of course, one of our priorities. Hence, that’s what we teach our apprentices.” This specialist knowledge is now being shared with the apprentices in other companies in short tutorials – with  apprentices teach other apprentices – at eye level. The Training Center adapts to the  pace of the individual learners, and at the end of each unit, there are tangible  results. Short tests and a comprehensive ‘final exam’ at the end of the course will  show the trainers at their various companies what content their apprentices have  really grasped. Any apprentice that proves to the computer system that they’ve  reached a performance level of 80 percent or more will also be awarded a successful participation certificate issued by ALLMATIC.

“The feedback we’ve received shows that we have impressed both apprentices and  trainers in the industry. We are very pleased with that,” says Evelyn Wegscheider,  head of Marketing at ALLMATIC. “Our Training Center is designed to enable real,  intuitive learning, which makes it a perfect complement to the classic syllabus we use with our apprentices.” By the way, the ALLMATIC initiative serves as the perfect opportunity for trainers to familiarize themselves with the tools and technology of modern ‘e-learning’ for the first time. Now they can seamlessly monitor the progress  of their own apprentices and intervene if there are any deficits. “However,  the class is also a welcome refresher course for their own clamping competences,”  says Herbert Mayr and winks.

ALLMATIC supports German Team // 13th place and “Medal of Excellence” for Tim Baur

WorldSkills Kazan: Tips and tricks for the world championship

Putting skilled people in the spotlight and showing how important they are for our economic output- that is exactly what the WorldSkills Championship Initiative is committed to do. Every other year, there is a very special world championship across 52 professions. For this purpose, young people from all over the world gather together to win one of the precious medals for their skill (i.e. for their profession). The competition is carried out across many fields, from CNC milling and turning to painting and floristry as well as beauty therapy, to name but a few. Participants present their profession and their country.

In 2019, ALLMATIC also took part in the championship, carried out in the Russian city of Kazan, as fully committed as a member of the German team led by Tim Baur. “To us, the clamping device experts are an important knowledge partner; every little thing counts,” says Patrick Aiple, who coaches Baur in the “milling” discipline. “If you clamp the  workpiece wrongly just once, it’ll get smashed.” It is an honour for the specialists from Unterthingau to support the team in word and deed. “ALLMATIC has not only made excellent material available but has helped us with many tips and tricks for how to clamp workpieces correctly and thus save precious seconds,” says Aiple. “In this competition, you have to give your all. Once you make a mistake, you won’t get a second chance. There is always very little time.” Tim Baur made 13th place and because he scored so many points, he got a “Medallion of Excellence” in addition.

“Having good partners is important to us,” points out Herbert Mattes as well. He is the training manager at the CHIRON Group in Tuttlingen, Germany, one of the world’s leading specialists for CNC-controlled, vertical machining and turning centres. It was Mattes who brought WorldSkills in milling to Germany. Since then, his employer has been the main sponsor of the German championship and his younger colleagues have been taking part in the competition regularly. “However, this is not a CHIRON event. Anyone can apply and everybody has a chance to win,” he emphasizes.

“A good apprenticeship is so important but learning how to clamp has often not been given the priority it deserves,” says Herbert Mayr, CEO of ALLMATIC. For that reason, his company likes to use platforms like WorldSkills to push clamping devices further into the spotlight. “Our entire team was rooting for Tim Baur and we rejoice with him for achieving such a good result.” However, to ALLMATIC, supporting the German participant in Kazan was not the only campaign to lobby for a closer look at ‘their topic’. Learning how to correctly clamp a workpiece and to understand how important that step is in the workflow, that’s exactly what ALLMATIC wants all apprentices to take home from their training classes. Together with their own apprentices, the company developed an e-learning platform of their own; it is designed for entry-level workers in metalworking professions. Even the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Swabia is excited about the tutorials and explicitly welcomes classes for such skills.

“In Kazan we were able to perform so well, partly because we worked together so well with the  clamping technology guys,” says Aiple. He can evaluate the performance of his charge very well since he himself took part in the same competition five years ago, to become the German champion. Furthermore, he has been the runner-up for the European  championship since 2016.
