During Christoph Hodapp’s visit, Managing Director of Kehl Economic Development, we talked about regional industrial expertise, skilled professionals, opportunities for young people and new ways to drive growth together.
How can businesses, economic development, schools and regional networks work even more closely together? And how can we raise awareness of the industrial expertise and capabilities available right here in Kehl?
These were some of the key topics we discussed with Christoph Hodapp during his visit to our production facilities at Parkstory Manufacturing Kehl on 22 October 2026. Following a tour of our metal manufacturing facilities, we explored shared opportunities for strengthening Kehl as a business and industrial location, including regional value creation, industrial jobs, attracting skilled professionals, vocational training and closer connections between businesses, schools and the city.
As a young industrial company, our ambition goes beyond growing our own business in Kehl. We also want to help raise the profile of modern manufacturing, technical careers and professional opportunities across the region. Because local industry creates much more than parts and assemblies. It creates jobs, expertise, opportunities and value for the entire region.
For us, this includes career discovery days and internships as well as future apprenticeship opportunities, company visits and authentic insights into what working in modern manufacturing really looks like. Because local industry creates much more than parts and assemblies. It creates jobs, expertise, opportunities and value for the entire region.
Thank you, Mr Hodapp, for visiting us, for the open exchange and for the valuable insights. We look forward to building new connections together and contributing to an even stronger industrial location in Kehl.
