With the “DFTA Top Trainer 2025” Award the Flexographic Technical Association e.V. (DFTA) recognizes Schreiner Group’s special commitment to training young people in apprenticeships. The accolade underlines the high priority that qualified development and responsible apprenticeship training enjoy in the company.

The award was presented to Schreiner Group during the DFTA Technical Convention in Mannheim. Training Manager Michael Limmer accepted it on behalf of the company. “This accolade recognizes the commitment of our entire team. We put our heart and soul into our training activities because we know that young talents are decisive for the successful further development of Schreiner Group,” he said. An apprenticeship training concept combining modern learning methods and personal support motivated the selection for the award. The concept not only focuses on teaching technical skills but also highlights team spirit, a sense of responsibility, and sustainable actions.

In his laudatory remarks, Professor Martin Dreher, PHD, Academic Advisor to the DFTA Technology Center, emphasized that apprenticeships at Schreiner Group go far beyond technical skills. “This is where the future is being shaped—with enthusiasm, innovative prowess, and true appreciation for young people. This company proves that apprenticeship training is not just a must-do program but a matter of the heart and soul,” he stressed in front of the professional audience.

The award confirms the high-tech company’s claim to understand apprenticeship training as a long-term responsibility and to open up sustainable prospects for their future to young people. Roland Schreiner, CEO of Schreiner Group expressed that he was proud of the accolade as well: “We’re delighted about this recognition by DFTA. That we as a family business are being recognized for this validates our philosophy in a special way: investing in people means investing in the future.”
