Modern robot technology – made possible by careful human hands
Even though we mainly work with robots at WMS, humanity is irreplaceable for us. Our people contribute their time, energy and inexhaustible wealth of ideas every single day – and we know that very well. As a medium-sized company and modern employer, we are pleased that we can always offer our employees a different (robot) adventure. But that’s not all: we encourage the ongoing commitment of our colleagues through an open and transparent working atmosphere, a wide range of training options and tailored development plans – regardless of whether they are trainees, students or long-term employees.
Work@WMS – Who we are and how we work
Because we spend as much time with few people as we do with our colleagues, we attach great importance to a relaxed and respectful atmosphere. Naturally, we support each other in our daily work and cultivate a culture in which everyone sees their own team members as supportive contact persons at eye level. Our managers do not hand out tasks from the twentieth floor: thanks to our „Open Door Policy“, superiors always have an open ear for private and professional concerns – this applies to every single position and across all levels.
Opportunities and responsibility for all
For us, however, equal rights do not end with offers of conversation and open doors. On the contrary, it is only just beginning here: At our company, every colleague is given the opportunity to take on responsibility in diverse and exciting projects and make their own ideas a reality – regardless of whether they are a senior or junior employee.
Because robots can’t take a joke, we celebrate for them
We’ve all been bitten by the robot bug! Because we just can’t (or don’t want to) get rid of it, our team events are always associated with lots of funny moments, laughter and fun – whether at birthdays, Christmas parties or other informal get-togethers.
What sets us apart – our values
Long-term and sustainable relationships with our colleagues are important to us – their daily commitment should not only be worthwhile, it should also be appreciated and fun. We offer our employees employment that is more than just „any job“. So that our collaboration – for all sides – is characterized by long-term success, we have distilled our corporate culture down to four elementary values. These values run through our daily activities and can be found at all levels of our work – perhaps precisely because they are as simple as they are important.
Openness
As a modern employer, we do not see ourselves as a silent observer, but as an empathetic and reliable partner. We support the personal development of our employees, are firmly opposed to any form of discrimination and actively promote equal rights for all – regardless of origin, religion, age, ideology, disability or gender identity.
Eye level
The different careers, educational and experience paths that our people have taken before finding their way to WMS give us a wide variety of perspectives on our daily to-dos. We know and appreciate this very much. From trainees with a fresh mindset to long-standing professionals with a wealth of experience and management – we want to give every single voice its space and support a lively exchange of ideas that blurs generational boundaries and builds new bridges.
Pragmatic action
Both the world and the industry are constantly changing. In order to be able to react to these constantly changing conditions at all times, we think and act in a practical way. We ask our employees about their specific needs and want to know what they need. Lengthy decision-making processes stand in the way of progress, as do countless and superfluous hierarchical levels. That’s why we prefer to initiate processes instead of just moving them from mailbox to mailbox.
Teamspirit
Between us: We attach great importance to genuine team spirit and work together as a team to move forward. It goes without saying that we want to make work as pleasant and varied as possible and therefore regularly meet with our employees to improve our existing processes. Satisfied teams are the key to success – today and in the future, this idea will guide our actions.

Natural landscapes and state-of-the-art robot technology
Klettgau-Grießen
The district of Grießen, which belongs to the municipality of Klettgau, may seem inconspicuous at first glance, but due to its unique location, numerous leisure and nature activities are hidden here in every conceivable direction. As we are right on the border with Switzerland, Zurich can be reached in under 40 minutes – and with it all the advantages of such a metropolis, such as cinemas, theaters, art houses, bars, clubs and swimming pools. There are also many options for nature lovers: Health resorts as well as the easily accessible Lake Constance and southern Black Forest invite you to go hiking, skiing or on hiking tours through picturesque nature reserves.
In Grießen itself, there are streams, vineyards and dense wooded areas to relax and take a deep breath. There are two restaurants and a food market in the immediate vicinity of the site. At the Grießen site, we work with state-of-the-art robot technology and still have a first-class connection to nature.
Nordstemmen (near Hildesheim)
If you leave Hanover heading south, you follow a chain of ponds, bathing and leisure lakes, at the end of which lies our Nordstemmen location. The immediate surroundings of the municipality, with their idyllic waterscapes and extensive forest and mountain landscapes, are ideal for swimming, cycling and hiking. Those looking for more modern leisure activities in addition to castles (Marienburg Castle approx. 10 minutes away), rivers and lakes (Steinhuder Meer approx. 60 minutes away) will find almost inexhaustible entertainment and shopping opportunities in the nearby state capital of Lower Saxony. Nordstemmen itself has sports clubs, several shopping facilities and a small leisure pool. As at our other location, we can also combine state-of-the-art robot technology with down-to-earth nature and really feel at home here.
