Dr. Friedrich Jungheinrich

company founder (1899–1968)

"Do it!"

Go-getter culture with a long-standing history

Jungheinrich is a traditional family-owned company with headquarters in Hamburg. It all started in 1953 with a small workshop. From thirty employees, we have grown to over 18,000. Yet despite all the new developments, the motto of our company founder still applies today as it did back then: "Do it!" It is a mission to every single employee to bring something new to the table and to do something different. Driven individuals with initiative can enjoy a culture of trust and openness, as well as great solidarity within the team. With this secure foundation, we can focus on the long-term and consistently overcome new challenges.

Vision and corporate values

What makes us a success: Everything we do, we do with the characteristic Jungheinrich passion. The result is a reliable team and a sense of mutual support — anywhere, anytime. What else can you expect? A lot of scope for personal participation and thinking ahead. In addition, you have the security of working for a group that is committed to sustainable, profitable growth and a solid financial position. This is your chance: With lots of energy and lots of ingenuity, you can help us to pursue the ambitious goals that we have set ourselves.

What defines our corporate culture

Diversity = embracing variety

In Germany alone, we employ people from over forty countries. We are proud of the diversity of personalities at Jungheinrich and attach great importance to an atmosphere of openness and acceptance.

Committed to the promotion of young talent

In Germany we provide training in 20 occupations including dual study programmes. Every year we prepare about 300 young people for working life. Our aim is always to take on skilled tasks and to continuously improve them. We also offer young people the opportunity to pursue a professional career and gain valuable practical experience through internships. If you want to get an insight into our company as a student, you can combine your studies with a student trainee position or a thesis, for example. In addition, with our international trainee programme, the Jungheinrich International Graduate Programme (JIG), we equip new recruits with all the skills they will need to perform their tasks and for a future career in the company.

Social and environmental responsibility

Our commitment ranges from the careful use of resources and development of energy-saving products to long-term cooperation with non-profit organisations and the support of national and international projects.
