For young people, the first day of an apprenticeship represents the start of a new chapter in their lives. On September 2, six new apprentices in Oettingen kicked-off their careers with OeTTINGER Brewery.
As is tradition, owner Pia Kollmar, the instructors and the current apprentices greeted the newcomers at the start of their apprenticeship. This was followed by a tour of the entire premises, in which the new apprentices were given an insight into the processes and philosophy of the brewery. The bottling plants, with a daily output of up to 3.5 million bottles, were particularly impressive. At lunch, everybody met back up at Forstquell Brewery’s rustic country inn, where they were able to get to know each other better in a more laid-back atmosphere.

As delighted Managing Director, Bernhard Wenninger, commented: “Welcoming the new apprentices is always a huge pleasure. We are one of the main employers here in the region and so our apprenticeships are highly valued. We are proud to have taken on six motivated young people this year.”
