Today, 17 trainees started their working life with us. Our new trainees were welcomed by our Managing Director Jörg W. Meyer, our Head of HR Carlos Salgado, our Training Manager Denise Bochmann and Chairman of our Works Council Thomas Delhey.
In addition, we hold our Welcome Days to make the introduction to our company as smooth as possible. This means that we will take plant tours at KAYSER Automotive and KAYSER Filtertech in Einbeck and the trainees will get to know each other. Furthermore, our trainees meet their training mentors and instructors and are provided with all relevant information on the topics of occupational safety, fire protection, information security, etc.. This ensures a good start at KAYSER.

Right now, everyone is talking about the mobility transition and the associated challenges with developing and manufacturing products for New Energy Vehicles (NEVs). Using our momentum and expertise, KAYSER is also working persistently with customers and partners on solutions and ideas to support this global shift of many mobility applications.
The diversity of the many applications and markets makes the changeover to emission-free drive systems a task which, in global terms, will probably only be overcome gradually over the next two decades. Until then, smart solutions and systems based on the known drive forms with combustion engines are still required in parallel with these new technologies. Around the world, ever more stringent emission requirements are being applied to further reduce environmental pollution in the meantime. These requirements demand the integration of technically high-quality and specific components and systems.
For decades, KAYSER has been a highly competent development partner and one of the leading manufacturers of fuel system components and modules. Amog other things, evaporative emissions in the tank system must be limited and regulated as part of the various legislation, among other things, in order to keep the impact on the environment as low as possible. The KAYSER purge lines are another part of the puzzle: we have been supplying these to customers far and near and in large quantities for many years.
In tank ventilation systems, these lines have the important task of transporting the fuel vapours from the tank to the activated carbon casing and then to the feed-in point on the combustion engine.
Our extensive in-house development and production capabilities enable us to respond to the most varied of system and customer requirements by coming up with a corresponding design, material selection and assembly structure.
Our modern, high-quality production methods allow us to coordinate and adapt the design of the assembly, routing and fittings with specifically compatible components to suit the system requirements and customer specifications.
Depending on the system requirement, the plastic lines can be designed with segments made of smooth tube and/or corrugated tube, as a single-layer or multi-layer tube, and supplemented with joining elements or components for pressure regulation or recording.
In addition, many further necessary system components, such as jet pumps and fluid control valves, can be integrated directly from the KAYSER range.
In vehicles with petrol engines, fuel vapours are produced due to the tendency of the fuel to permanently outgas during vehicle operation or storage in the tank. Those vapours must be prevented from escaping into the atmosphere to protect the environment and comply with emission regulations. In a classic vehicle with a combustion engine, they are stored, in a KAYSER activated carbon canister and successively fed to the engine depending on the load point, where they are largely rendered harmless by post-combustion.
Since the molecules of petrol are very small and therefore volatile, the fuel vapours must be discharged regularly in order to prevent the climate-damaging vapours from uncontrolled escaping out of the tank system. Due to the lack of combustion in all electric driving mode, vapours can’t be processed. As a result, the fuel vapours must be stored in the fuel tank until they are next passed into the combustion engine. This storage leads to an increase in pressure in the tank, which places increased demands on the entire tank system and the emission control and must therefore be regulated.
This is where the KAYSER FTIV comes in. Firstly, it reliably shuts off the tank and thus prevents fuel vapours from escaping into the environment and regulates the internal tank pressure within the design parameters of the tank system in order to protect its components. Secondly, by actively reducing the overpressure and transferring the fuel vapours to the KAYSER activated carbon canister, it allows the preparation for the fuelling process.
In this way, with the help of the KAYSER FTIV, the emission regulations for hybrid vehicles and combustion engines with petrol engines that are permitted globally in the respective markets can be complied with and vehicle emissions can be reduced to protect the environment.

This year’s start of vocational training on 1st August, the KAYSER Group welcomed 17 new Trainees and dual students at its headquarters in Einbeck.
At the kick-off of the three-day “WelcomeDays”, Jörg W. Meyer, Managing Director of the KAYSER Group and Rebecca Kliewe-Scheffler of the Works Council in Einbeck welcomed the junior employees and wished them a successful start. “This step shall mark the beginning of a new and exciting stage in your life. Be curious right from the start, keep asking questions and contribute your ideas. We are very pleased to welcome you to the KAYSER Group”, said Jörg W. Meyer.
A versatile programme followed this for all trainees, so they could introduce and inform themselves and to discover interesting any fields of activities. In this way, everyone had the opportunity to get to know their fellow apprentices and supervisors and to take a look behind the scenes at various areas within the company.
Let us give them a warm welcome to the KAYSER family.
One World. One Family. One KAYSER.

Although advancing automation is making more and more heavy physical tasks easier, there are still work processes that require manual handling of loads.
In our “Poser” logistics center, countless small load carriers (KLTs) are assembled daily for transport to customers.
Depending on the situation, several hundred KLTs can accumulate here every day, which have to be assembled and packed from our two-story rack warehouse.
In order to make our employees’ daily work easier and to reduce the strain on the musculoskeletal system, we have been conducting wearer trials with so-called exoskeletons for several weeks. We obtain these from our local supplier Ottobock.
Here, the load is taken from the employee’s shoulder, as with a backpack, and redirected to the thighs with the help of the exoskeleton’s support structure. The energy store absorbs force when bending and releases it again when lifting. This results in a significant relief of the lower back of up to 25 kilograms. The heart of the system is the purely mechanical control at hip level.
This can distinguish between bending and walking and switches off automatically when walking, thus ensuring full freedom of movement. The support force can be infinitely adjusted on the rotary knob to suit the load of different work steps.
Due to the consistently positive feedback from the test persons, it has already been decided to procure the exoskeletons after the end of the test period and to use them permanently.
Furthermore, tests are underway regarding the use of the exoskeleton in other Kayser areas.
