On August 1, twelve new trainees started their training at Insta - that's a record! In previous years, the number of trainees per year was always lower. The trainees start their time at Insta with joint introductory days so that they can get to know the company and each other. In addition, the trainees receive various trainings to make their working routines easier.
The efficient handling of material and energy consumption in production is a challenge for many companies. Technologically, many good solutions are already known, but isn't there more? Yes!

At Insta, we firmly believe that youth play a crucial role in shaping a sustainable future.

We will continue to collect crown caps in the company and are sure to top the 51 kg next time.
In the last two weeks, numerous filled tubs and boxes of food donations and hygiene articles were collected for the Tafel Lüdenscheid.

Together with local companies and the regional association of South Westphalia of the Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe, we were able to support a in the realisation of the interactive colouring and working brochure "First Aider of Tomorrow". 450 brochures were handed over to the kindergartens in our hometown of Lüdenscheid and now help to convey important contents and behavioural tips for emergency and first aid situations to children at an early age in a playful way. It is important to us that help can be given quickly in an emergency. That is why 129 people, almost one third of our staff, are trained as first aiders.
