Our areas of activity are diverse and cover all stages of modern milk processing – from production and quality assurance to logistics and sales. Every day, our employees help to ensure the high quality of our products and develop new ideas together.
The Quality department consists of Quality Assurance and Quality Management.
Our quality assurance is differentiated into various teams of experts for the wide range of products. Our focus is on the implementation, compliance with and verification of quality criteria, product safety, seamless traceability and continuous analysis throughout the entire manufacturing process.
Our quality management team is responsible for creating and monitoring the HACCP concept and hygiene guidelines. Another focus is the implementation of legal and customer-specific requirements as well as the organization, preparation, implementation and follow-up of system and customer audits.
The commercial area is made up of the financial accounting, controlling, purchasing and sales departments of the individual business areas.
In cooperation with our customers, partners and colleagues, all necessary clarifications, agreements, regulations and tasks are implemented to ensure smooth production and delivery to customers.
All aspects, requirements and special circumstances within the national and international business relationships are taken into account and implemented by our colleagues.
The areas of responsibility within production are very varied. Thanks to the different modern technologies at the site and the individual milk processing steps, we offer many varied and exciting activities within our production areas. However, milk reception is always the central point of contact, where processing begins. There are 14 spray towers and 3 UHT filling lines available for further processing. There is also a sugar agglomeration plant and powdered products are mixed on 4 mixing plants. At the end of the processing chain are the 10 packaging lines, where our products can be packaged in a wide variety of containers.
The technology department is divided into the specialist departments of metalworking, mechanics, electrical/measurement, control and automation technology, media and networks, as well as the maintenance department for industrial trucks.
All departments work closely together, as well as with the production, process engineering and work preparation departments.
The tasks range from the planning, construction, conversion/new construction of machines and systems and scheduled maintenance to their repair and optimization.
This broad-based technical team makes it possible to ensure that all work and fields of activity are carried out to ensure smooth production processes.
Elb-Milch’s product development covers a very wide range of products, and we work together in small teams to find optimum solutions for our customers. We implement larger projects together with process engineering, production and the quality department.
In addition to testing raw material specifications and formulating in the office, samples are produced, tested and sensory evaluated on a laboratory and technical scale. We use both external pilot plants and our own facilities for up-scaling. The introduction of new products on our own production facilities is particularly interesting – this step is closely monitored by product development and evaluated together with production. All production at the site is based on recipes and production instructions, which are centrally maintained and created by Product Development.
Information on the layout design of packaging and food and patent law tests round off the services we provide to support our customers.
Logistics – the term stands for the planning, management, control and optimization of the flow of materials and information within a company. We are constantly involved in the upstream and downstream processes of our production company. As logistics specialists, we are responsible for ensuring the transportation, storage, provision, procurement and distribution of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished goods for production and also to the customer.
As an industrial clerk, you are an all-rounder and specialist in all departments and deal with business processes. Accounting, sales, production, materials management and human resources management are the functional areas in which you can be deployed, i.e. wherever industrial companies need commercial qualifications.
As a machine and system operator, you will set up, commission and operate production machines and systems. If the article changes, you will retool the machines and maintain them. You will also prepare work processes, check machine functions and check the machines at regular intervals to ensure they are ready for operation. You will also be responsible for maintaining and repairing the systems. You will monitor the production process and control the material flow.
As a dairy technologist (m/f/d), your daily task is to monitor the work processes in the company. You will not only check the incoming raw milk from the farm, but also the individual production processes for our various dairy products. Although most of the work is carried out by machines that you operate, it is not possible without manual inspection of the raw, intermediate and end products. You always make sure that all hygiene regulations are adhered to and that the quality of the end products is free of protein.
As an industrial mechanic, you will work in production and maintenance, where you will ensure that the availability of machines and production facilities is maintained. You will manufacture equipment parts, machine components and assemblies and assemble them into machines and technical systems. You will then set them up, put them into operation and test their function. As an industrial mechanic, you will also be responsible for maintenance, servicing and troubleshooting.
Electronics can be found in every area and has become an important part of our everyday lives. With an apprenticeship as an electronics technician for industrial engineering, you will go troubleshooting with a circuit diagram, the necessary tools and sometimes a laptop under your arm. But of course you are not only in demand when it comes to repairing systems, you also program machines and systems, maintain them and instruct users in their operation. Training as an electronics technician for industrial engineering is therefore very extensive, but also extremely interesting.
Mechatronics engineers have the central task of ensuring the fault-free functioning of machines and systems and are therefore needed wherever they exist – in other words, almost everywhere. The name mechatronics is made up of the two areas of mechanics and electronics. A third component that belongs to it is information technology.
As an IT specialist, you combine IT expertise with business management skills and are responsible for ensuring that the company’s IT systems are optimally aligned with operational requirements. You will analyze business processes, develop IT solutions and plan the use of software and hardware.
