At VACU-form, we are busy planning, printing, packing and looking forward to seeing you as we will be exhibiting at three trade fairs in the coming months:
September 23–25, 2025 Fachpack in Nuremberg (booth 4-152)

WISCHEMANN Kunststoff GmbH has been awarded the Committed badge by EcoVadis, the world's largest provider of sustainability rankings for companies.
Since its foundation in 2007, EcoVadis has assessed more than 150,000 international companies. The provider's goal is to ‘deliver reliable, globally recognised sustainability assessments and insights that enable all companies to reduce risk, drive improvement and accelerate positive impact on our planet and society.’
EcoVadis assesses companies according to 21 corporate social responsibility criteria, which are divided into four thematic areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
For us, receiving this badge is the best motivation to continue on our path towards a green and sustainable future.
Two fantastic developments from the WISCHEMANN team: Elias Mondkowsky has successfully completed his training as a plastics and rubber technologist – despite changing training places shortly before his intermediate examination. We are delighted that he has settled in so well with us and will continue to be part of the team!
Ingo Eisfeld has also successfully completed his examination to become an industrial foreman specialising in plastics and rubber technology. His development at WISCHEMANN from temporary worker to process mechanic trainee to his current position in work preparation is impressive – a career that we have been happy to support (also financially).
We congratulate both of you and are proud of you!

This year, the WISCHEMANN team once again took part in the ‘City Cycling in Ochtrup’ campaign - with 21 colleagues who cycled a total of 5,069 kilometres together. Whether on the way to work, on excursions or on holiday trips: the car was often left behind and the bike got its well-deserved use.
As always, there was also something to be won internally for full commitment in the saddle:
- 1st place: 75 euro voucher from Restaurant Brinckwirth for Christian Selker (1,105 km)
- 2nd place: 50 Euro Ochtrup voucher for Heinz Focke (830 km)
- 3rd place: a filled cool bag for Berno Wellmann (413 km)
Because our permanent frontrunners left hardly any chance for others to take first places, we decided to award two more third prizes: Marita Flaßkamp (303 km) and Andreas Ludewig (301 km) were also delighted to receive a filled cool bag.
Many thanks to everyone who cycled - we are already looking forward to the next round in 2026!

Our region is close to our hearts - as is sport. That's why we are delighted to be able to provide the SVA Salzbergen 1st men's team with new jerseys and thus contribute to the team spirit.
We wish the team a successful season and are delighted to be a part of it.
We have upgraded the heating technology at our warehouse and office location across from the main building. The old fossil fuel heating system has been removed and replaced with a modern heat pump – more climate-friendly, more sustainable and simply more in tune with the times. One more step in our strategy to conserve resources and reduce CO₂ emissions.
From 30 August to 19 September 2025, it's time to get on the bike and rack up the kilometres in Salzbergen! Every kilometre cycled counts in City Cycling – for the environment, the personal fitness and the community.
VACU-form is supporting the campaign with a donation of 5 pence per kilometre cycled to the Salzbergen Community Foundation (max. € 1,500). Of course, we are also participating as Team VACU-form.
A new training year has begun and there is a breath of fresh air at VACU-form too: we welcome Tom Konermann to his apprenticeship for a technical product designer with us! After a few weeks, we check in to see how he is getting on, and Tom's initial verdict is ‘Really good!’ He is particularly impressed by his colleagues, the exciting foundational learning and the good working atmosphere. He is currently working with his colleagues on projects in the agricultural machinery and packaging sectors, learning right from the start how his work directly influences the products.
We warmly welcome you to the VACU-form team and wish you a great apprenticeship with us, Tom! And if you would like to know what other apprenticeships are available at VACU-form, we recommend taking a look at our website for prospective apprentices: www.werdewischemann.de.
