We are also very committed to providing initial training to school leavers. Throughout Germany, we are currently supporting a total of 40 apprentices, and therefore every year 15 young people receive a training contract in the business/administrative or commercial/technical area. During the course of their two or three-and-a-half year apprenticeship, these apprentices will get the chance to work in all the relevant departments within the company, as part of a team actively engaged in the day-to-day business of the enterprise. There is even the opportunity for a foreign posting to MC's offices abroad. Following the successful completion of their apprenticeship, ambitious, dedicated apprentices with good grades can continue to develop their careers at MC. There are many examples of former trainees who have forged their careers with the company.

We offer graduates an international training program where they can get to know the MC's products and techniques, gain experience on the job site and in projects, and set up an internal and external network. Either we prepare you in 18 to 24 months for a responsible job in one of our national or regional organizations (International Traineeship). Or you are already firmly scheduled for a job in our international organization and will be intensively prepared in 12 months in Germany and / or another country for this future challenge (International Career Preparation).

Whether you have completed your studies as a civil engineer, chemist, mineralogist or econmist or you have already worked some years in your profession, we offer graduates and young professionals a lot of exciting jobs and opportunities to start at MC – from R&D, sales, marketing and product management to administration, warehousing and our production. After a systematic training programme at the beginning you will take on responsibility quickly and get opportunities to develop and work independently. You will be accompanied by experienced mentors.

MC’s administrative organisation comprises a number of different units and functions. While Purchasing is responsible for the procurement of raw materials and items necessary for the production process, the Human Resources department sets about nding new entrants to the company and helping with the further development of existing employees. Finance & Accounting is concerned with the systematic recording, monitoring and reporting of income streams and the ow of goods and services as the basis for planning and control within the company. Meanwhile, the Marketing & Communications department is responsible not just for product promotion but also for keeping employees and external stakeholders informed of the company’s activities.

In an international company like MC, the role performed by the Business Development Management team is particularly important. Our business development managers keep communications running smoothly between the divisions and units at our headquarters in Germany and the countries for which they are responsible around the world. They also support the regional and country managers in expanding their business activities, developing new markets and leveraging market potential.

Our employees in the Logistics unit provide the interface between production and sales on the one hand and our customers on the other, securing the optimal planning and execution of all relevant goods storage, materials handling and transportation activities. Each day they ensure that our customers receive their orders just in time, constantly aiming to keep them satisfied by providing a reliable, accurate and punctual service.

The Global Product Management team is the link between our business divisions R&D, Business Development Management, Fields of Expertise and Sales. MC’s product managers are responsible for their respective product groups, the development of new products and targeting marketing activities aligned to customer and market profiles. They help our international sales units and the Fields of Expertise in solving technical issues and by providing marketing materials and arranging product training resources and events.

Our employees in the Fields of Expertise are responsible for pooling and collating all of MC’s know-how in specific technologies, making sure that it is effectively transferred throughout the organisation. They work very closely with Global Product Management, Regional Management and Business Development Management, performing market analyses in order to identify new opportunities for revenue generation. They then develop product and sales strategies aligned to developing such market potential, supported by appropriate promotional and training activities.

Sales representatives are of key importance for MC-Bauchemie as the primary points of contact with our customers. They are responsible for nurturing our client relationships and making sure our products get sold. They need to know MC’s product systems very well and be in a position to offer solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each application. They are responsible for managing and developing their territories under their own initiative, establishing and nurturing a network of customers and partners while constantly seeking and winning new clients. They are assisted in these activities on a daily basis by a sales back office, our applications engineering departments and our product management people.

Our motivation is to solve the problems of today and to develop the standards of tomorrow, to keep one step ahead of the crowd and extend development beyond the established state of the art. In our R&D division we develop new products and systems which is an integral part of our corporate culture and a major contributor to our success. One tenth of our workforce is employed in the R&D division. Chemists, mineralogists and materials technologists from our laboratories maintain very close ties with our technical product management and our specialist field advisers around the world. From this fertile soil grow innovative ideas and solutions aligned to the specific requirements of our partners and their projects. Indeed, in the course of the last six decades-plus, we have developed a number of products that have gone on to become industrial standards.

We currently have over 20 development and production facilities around the world, including Brazil, Germany, India and Russia, where we develop and produce admixtures, mortars, renderings, screed products, adhesives, coatings, waterproofing barriers, sealants or speciality repro ling product systems. Using special raw materials and formulations, we manufacture these in our own production facilities, utilising the most advanced technology in harness with the extensive expertise of our people.
