Daniela, as a trained tourism specialist, you are a career changer in the SFS management team. How did you become interested in a technical company?
The vacant position as an office administrator was advertised in the district newspaper at the time, and after a short online search about the company, my interest was piqued. I was still working in a travel agency at the time, but was not happy there. SFS, as an internationally active production company where I could use and deepen my language skills, interested me on the one hand, although I didn't think I had much of a chance due to my lack of technical training. Even during the job interview, I could sense the family atmosphere of the up-and-coming company, and since the plant is also close to my home, I quickly decided to take the job and have been part of the team since 2004.

I started out as an office administrator and today I'm part of the SFS strategy team and can help decide on the company's future development - which makes me very happy. It has always been very important to me to continue my education: In 2005, I started studying business administration in Innsbruck alongside my job and completed a few more courses. Otto Staudacher always supported my drive for further education and was always there for me as a mentor. Two years after my first degree, I was offered the position of Planning/Purchasing and I was happy to accept this opportunity for change. Over the years, I have grown more and more into my current management position.
„I really appreciate working for such an international company.“
What makes working at SFS so special for you?
I really appreciate working in such an internationally active company. I have daily contact with partners from all over the world and from a wide variety of industries. Due to the many customer-specific products, the working day is always varied and never monotonous. What's more, we have a very strong culture of togetherness. This starts with daily interdepartmental breaks, company parties and even company outings lasting several days.
