Career at WEPA

Working together for success
For us “old” is not derogatory; “young” is not negative. This applies to the more than 2.900 employees at our six factories.

There are many amongst them who have influenced the rise of WEPA from a paper wholesaler in the Sauerland to a manufacturer of hygiene paper of international recognition. Their high expertise is passed on to the following generations. The personnel structure is a healthy mixture of young and old.

As a company with a sense of responsibility, WEPA has always invested in training and further education measures that could prove of value to the daily work routine. WEPA trains industrial clerks and business management graduates, energy system electronics engineers, industrial mechanics and – of course – paper makers. And we take our employees seriously. We give
them the opportunity to develop creativity; the opportunity to grasp the initiative; the freedom to take personal responsibility for their actions. It is the open communication at all levels, minimum hierarchy, short routes to decisions and team-oriented thinking that set the tone of our company culture.

Because we wish to remain what we are – a family company with a medium-sized structure and organisation. Our employees and team-oriented thinking are the basis for our success.
