Teamleaderka vo výrobe
Prečo si si vybrala Geba Cables?
Po šesťročnej pracovnej skúsenosti som chcela skúsiť niečo nové, ponúkla mi to práve v novovznikajúcej firme v roku 2013.
Ako sa vyvíjala Tvoja kariéra?
Na zaúčanie som nastúpila do Mikulova ako operátorka výroby a po dvoch mesiacoch som bola na tejto pozícii, kde pracujem doteraz a po piatich rokoch robím aj zástupkyňu počas majstrovej neprítomnosti.
Čo ťa na Tvojej práci baví?
Najviac ma na mojej práci baví práca s ľuďmi, organizovanie práce a riešenie problémov. Moja snaha v rôznych prekážkach je odmenená veľkou vďakou od môjho pracovného kolektívu, čo ma nesmierne teší a napĺňa.

Najväčšie pozitívum v práci znamenajú pre mňa dobré výsledky vykonanej práce, spoľahlivý tím a stabilita.
Čo by sa malo podľa Tvojho názoru v Geba Cables zmeniť?
Mala by sa zlepšiť komunikácia medzi oddeleniami. Ľudia by si mali prácu, ale aj majetok vo firme viacej vážiť. Viacmenej po nedávnych organizačných zmenách sme na dobrej ceste a pevne verím, že výsledky budú uspokojivé pre všetkých.
A čo Tvoj voľný čas?
Voľného času nemám na rozdávanie, ale všetok venujem svojej rodine, najmä maličkému vnúčikovi.
Production worker
Why did you choose Geba Cables?
The company is not far from my place, so it suited me.
How did your career develop?
After graduating from school, I was looking for a job as a confectioner, because I had studied this field. But as I was looking for a job in a candy store, I was amazed at how badly it was paid. I plan to build a house with my partner and I could not afford to do such work. I was looking for something else and I found our company, where I have been working for more than four years.
What do you enjoy about your job?
I enjoy that this work is not still about the same thing around.
What do you like best about Geba Cables?
Probably the team that you are creating from the beginning. When there is a good team, everything is fine.
What do you think should change in Geba Cables?
I think the regime is stricter in other firms. People can’t be changed, so probably nothing.
And what about your free time?
Since I’m at work, it’s scarce. I spend it with family and friends.
výrobná zamestnankyňa
Prečo si si vybrala Geba Cables?
Firma nie je ďaleko odo mňa, tak mi to vyhovovalo.
Ako sa vyvíjala Tvoja kariéra?
Po ukončení štúdia som si hľadala prácu ako cukrárka, pretože som tento odbor študovala. Lenže ako som hľadala prácu v cukrárňach, ostala som zaskočená, koľko ľuďom platia. Plánujem si s partnerom budovať domček a takúto prácu som si nemohla dovoliť robiť. Hľadala som niečo iné a našla som našu firmu, kde už pracujem 3 roky.
Čo ťa na Tvojej práci baví?
Baví ma to, že táto práca nie je stále o tom istom dookola.
Čo máš v Geba Cables najradšej?
Asi ten kolektív, ktorý si človek vytvára od začiatku. Keď je dobrý kolektív, hneď je všetko fajn.
Čo by sa malo podľa Tvojho názoru v Geba Cables zmeniť?
Myslím, že v iných formách to je prísnejšie. Ľudia sa meniť nedajú, tak asi aj nič.
A čo Tvoj voľný čas?
Keďže som v práci, je ho aj málo. Trávim ho s rodinou a priateľmi.
Team leader in production

How did your career develop?
I started working as a production operator – connecting cables according to the drawing documentation. After nine months I became a production assistant, where I gained new experience, mainly in computer knowledge. After about half a year, I became a team leader of production, where the previous positions helped me a lot in getting started – I knew the production process and was able to navigate in the SAP system.
What do you enjoy about your job?
Every day is different, no stereotype. I like people, I like to get to know them, whether from their work or their private side. I try to make us all understand each other, help each other and be one team.

The team, cheerful people.

Communication between some departments could be improved, maybe it would help certain people to move more in production and we would prevent some problems.

teamleaderka vo výrobe

Prácu v Geba Cables som si vybrala preto, lebo sa tu pracovalo na rannú zmenu, čo mi vyhovovalo kvôli vysokej škole.
Ako sa vyvíjala Tvoja kariéra?
Začala som pracovať ako operátorka výroby – zapájanie káblov podľa výkresovej dokumentácie. Po trištvrte roka som sa stala asistentkou výroby, kde som nabrala nové skúsenosti hlavne z počítačových znalostí. Zhruba po pol roku som sa stala teamleaderkou výroby, kde mi pri zaúčaní sa veľmi pomohli predchádzajúce pozície – poznala som výrobný proces a vedela sa orientovať v SAP systéme.
Čo ťa na Tvojej práci baví?
Každý deň je iný, žiadny stereotyp. Mám rada ľudí, rada ich spoznávam či už z pracovnej alebo súkromnej stránky. Snažím sa aby sme si všetci rozumeli, pomáhali si a boli jeden tím J

A čo Tvoj voľný čas?
Svoj voľný čas trávim prevažne s rodinou, prechádzky so psom, čítanie dobrej knihy.
Vienna (9 Oct 2020) – GG Group (Gebauer & Griller) has demerged and sold its Elevator Division “Geba Cables” to the mid-cap investor Lafayette Mittelstand Capital. The demerged division consists of Vienna-based sales team and the two Elevator Cable production sites in Veľké Leváre, Slovakia and Bangalore, India.
Geba Cables’ experienced management team supported by Lafayette Mittelstand Capital as the new owner will continue to grow the Elevator Division with locations in Vienna, Slovakia and India under the name of “Geba Cables”. The transaction was undertaken with focus on long-term and sustainable development opportunities for the business units targeted, the involvement of employee representatives, and the preservation of all existing employee rights, thus representing a beneficial outcome for all parties involved.
Matthias Ungerboeck, CEO of the new Geba Cables, and Sandip Mehta, Head of the Indian and Asian Markets for the new Geba Cables added: “The market success of the Geba Cables elevator business of the past years, combined with the carve-out know-how and financial resources of our new owner, forms a solid base to continue serving and meeting the requirements of our global customers even better going forward. This ensures sustainable growth and employment for all our employees in Austria, Slovakia and India.” The elevator business with locations in Vienna (Austria), Vel’ké Leváre (Slovakia), and Bangalore (India) employs approx. 400 employees and will operate independently from former Gebauer & Griller under the new name Geba Cables.
Geba Cable’s product portfolio covers a wide range — starting with standard flat travelling cables up to customer specific cables such as cables with integrated data elements or cable systems with embedded glass optical fibre elements. Geba Cables offers custom tailored wiring harnesses for each elevator type. In 2019, Geba Cables generated revenue of approx. EUR 25 million. Geba’s elevator cable products are used to connect elevator cabinets with elevator control units for the transmission of electricity as well as data (incl. infotainment and video signals). The core products are complemented by products for the elevator control unit, elevator shaft wiring, machine room, elevator door wiring, as well as shaft lighting related assemblies.
“GG Group has been one of the leading producers of cables and wires for the elevator and escalator industry for four decades. Operating very closely with our customers and offering individual, construction-specific solutions have made this division a thriving business. For this very reason, it is important to us to have found a buyer for the Elevator Division who will be fully committed to continuing the successful course we have initiated”, says Eva Schinkinger, CEO of GG Group, regarding the recently completed transaction.
“Since the 1970s GG’s main focus has been lying on the automotive industry, with its complex organizational requirements and demanding management systems. Therefore, it was an obvious decision to consolidate our development and sales resources in the growth area of the automotive market”, states Holger Fastabend, CSO/CTO at GG Group. “This consolidation of strengths will enable us to remain an innovative partner for our customers while shaping new trends in the market for the future.”
We are delighted to have succeeded in acquiring the three locations of Geba Cables and express our thanks to all parties who contributed to the successful closing of the Geba Cables acquisition. Geba Cables fits well into Lafayette’s portfolio and we look forward to working together with management and all employees of Geba Cables”, commented a representative of Lafayette Mittelstand Capital.
