"The diversification of our products is both a challenge and an advantage,"
explains Assenheimer. "We have to and are able to ensure a high level of
flexibility for our plants, apparatus and technologies, as well as complex qual-
ity control systems, careful documentation and compliance with very strin-
gent hygiene rules. Our logistics experts can ensure the desired shipment di-
rectly to customers within a very short period of time."
KVP is well equipped to handle further successful corporate development in
Schleswig-Holstein: this year the company increased its vocational training
capacity by 60 percent and is currently seeking school students to join its
training programs in 2005. KVP trains chemical and pharmaceutical labora-
tory assistants and mechanical electricians, and in 2004 also added training
opportunities for storage logistics experts. Pharmaceutical and pharmaceuti-
cal engineering students also regularly participate in internships at KVP in
order to become acquainted at an early stage with the diverse aspects of em-
ployment in a pharmaceutical company.
Sums up Assenheimer: "The continuous and voluntary improvement of our
high standards in the fields of environmental protection and safety is a matter
of course for us as is the qualification and advancement of both long-
serving and new employees."
