/in , /by

From May 23-24, 2023, CMC took part at PLMA (Private Label Manufacturers Association), the largest international trade show platform for the private label industry, as an exhibitor once again.

This year’s show accounted for a record attendance of more than 16,000 trade professionals from 120 countries. About 2650 companies from 72 countries were represented as exhibitors.

CMC’s booth showcased our portfolio of nonwovens, hygiene and medical products that meet the highest sustainability standards. This enabled us to show our customers how we can integrate our expertise in these areas into their product ranges and support the success of their brand through innovation and product competence.

Over the years, CMC GmbH has successfully established itself in the private label sector as a supplier of solutions in the areas of cotton, cosmetic, medical, baby and home care products and has already convinced all well-known retailers with its high level of product and range expertise and high rate of innovation.

In accordance with the trade show slogan, “Connect. Source. Grow”, the sales team was able to exchange ideas with industry experts and is pleased about a successful trade fair with many exciting discussions and contacts with both existing and potentially new customers.

Logistics partnership with further prospects of success

With signing the contract in December 2018, CMC starts its cooperation with the logistics service provider Hamacher Transporte, based in the Rurbenden industrial park.

CMC and Hamacher are looking back on a successful construction phase from groundbreaking in February to completion in December 2019. Approximately one year after the start of construction, the project was thus jointly finalized at the start of the contract on January 1, 2020.

The distribution center was built with a 22,000 sq. ft. footprint, giving CMC the capacity and flexibility needed in its fast-moving, high-volume product business. A whole 23,000 pallets now find their place in the new warehouse.

At the start of the contract, CMC’s entire goods traffic was switched to the new distribution center. In particular, products from the nearby CMC plant in Birkesdorf near Düren are temporarily stored there and assembled for delivery to the customer.

Martin Kasnitz, Director Supply Chain (Planning, Purchasing, Logistics, Customs) at CMC is extremely satisfied:

“We look forward to continuing to work together to increase efficiency and are proud to be able to provide the best possible logistics service to our customers as a result.”

From education into profession

/in , /by

CMC has been a training company since 2012. We are proud to have been able to fulfill a takeover quota of 100% of our trainees so far.

At our company headquarters, we employ several people in the HR team with instructor qualification certificates. Our trainees have a permanent contact person who is registered with the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and who accompanies and supports them throughout their training.

Local educational partnerships, such as with the Realschule Sontheim, ensure exchange with potential junior staff and turn our trainees into company ambassadors.
At CMC, we make a point of fully integrating our trainees into the teams of the respective departments and actively involving them in the day-to-day business. If possible, they also work on their own small projects within the departments. This provides them with valuable, challenging work and an all-round insight into the working world of CMC.

In order to give our trainees an insight into the company’s production and logistics in addition to the administration in the CMC offices, visits are made to the plant in Düren.

Most recently, Anastasia Pribyl and Jonas Kohler successfully completed their training at CMC in January (in picture with CMC General Manager Dr. Rainer Mangold).

After their written final examination, our industrial clerk trainees had to take an oral examination including a presentation and a technical discussion.

They both passed the exams with success. Congratulations!

At the end of their training, the management congratulated them at an internal information event and announced that both had been taken on as permanent employees in the Customer Service and Controlling departments.

We are pleased that both of them will continue to work at CMC and wish them all the best and much success in their new jobs.
