Katia Arnold HR Officer in Stuttgart Since 2006 at MAHLE "I have been directing the International Graduate Program at MAHLE for five years. What makes the job so interesting and multi-faceted every day? Definitely the programs individual character. No graduate program goes the same way jointly with the mentors, we work out an individual program for each

graduate and search for challenging projects. And, of course, internationality. Each graduate has at least one assignment in a foreign country and this is organized with the help of local colleagues. One of my personal highlights in recent years was definitely the introduction of the program in other regions of the world. I had an opportunity to support the initial recruiting for graduates in our program in Brazil and to assist the selected

candidates during their assignment to Germany. Recruiting a globally deployable, flexible group of young employees for MAHLE, individually promoting each member and encouraging their professional growth I think this is a coherent package it is a job that gives me satisfaction and enables me to help create a new generation of employees at the MAHLE Group."

Kristina Hahne Project Manager Cooling Gensets and Renewable Energy I was positively surprised by the cross-functional collaboration within the company and the highly dynamic environment that goes hand in hand with wind power, our sales market. Whats also exciting is that we utilize synergies from different business

units. Since MAHLE is a systems supplier to the market, MAHLE Behr Industry and MAHLE Industrial Filtration work closely together. Thanks to our global presence and teamwork across many different countries, I also have many opportunities to establish both national and international contacts, and thus build up my own network. We have set ourselves ambitious goals

for the future. We want to expand our presence on the market, win new customers, and further expand this promising business. In short, we want to leverage all the power of our team to move this young sector of wind power forward.

Jan-Frederek Thiele Finance Manager I will always associate the International Graduate Program with my project: preparing the opening balance sheet for a newly founded joint venture in Macheng, China. I was able to take on responsibility and apply what Id learnt while

at Group headquarters. Besides being challenged in my area of specialization, the most exciting aspect for me was the intercultural experience I was able to gain in the Chinese city. After the program, there was a seamless transition to my subsequent work: as a Financial Analyst in England, I supervised the legal units of the MAHLE Group in

France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. As the activities of an analyst are usually of limited duration, I took the opportunity for a change. Today I work as a Finance Manager in Spainan ideal career move, as Im able to build on my previous work and gain more experience in taking over operational responsibility.

With ambition and passion. To the finish line and beyond.

Matthias Langbein Director Bearings Europe One of my first big tasks at MAHLE was big in every sense of the word: I took on the challenge of planning the plant in Leibertingen, Germany. I then managed this plant for a few years before getting the opportunity to prove my skills at an international level as plant manager in Russellville/USA. MAHLE has always supported me on my career path. My superiors have encouraged and supported me in an individual way, and have shown confidence that I can overcome new challenges. I was also supported on the job by my colleagues and underwent special training and employee development programs to prepare myself in the best possible way for my new

tasks. The collaborative working relationship among colleagues at MAHLE has really left an impression on me. Thats why I give my employees a great deal of freedom and encourage them to act independently. Together with honest communication, I believe this is one of the keys to successful cooperation.

Jochen Sommer Technical Assistant to the CEO I first got to know MAHLE during a Formula Student event, a program sponsored by MAHLE in which students race cars they had designed themselves. Being part of one racing teams organizational unit was a lot of fun, and I realized then that I wanted to work for MAHLE.

Thanks to the close working relationship with MAHLE, I had the opportunity to do my final thesis in technical sales. My supervisor really stressed technical knowledge and helped me get a short internship in engine testing. This enabled me to complement my theoretical knowledge with some practical experience. After I finished my thesis I became an international graduate at MAHLE and went to my first assignment in England. My recommendation? If you want to accomplish something, you will have every opportunity to do so at MAHLE. It is simply great to be able to gain experience in the widest variety of areas and to weave together my international network.
