Sales Director Distribution GNS, Munich

“It is already a long journey for me within TDK. I started in our Vienna sales office managing EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Service) and Distribution business. Afterwards I got the opportunity to move to our Zuhai FTZ factory as a Product Marketing Manager for varistors.

Now I am based in Munich office as a Key Account Manager for Distributor Arrow. After 10 years within TDK I am proud to take additional responsibility in a leadership role as Sales Director for Distribution business.”

Julia Kapfensteiner

Strategic Procurement / Project Management SAP ARIBA, Deutschlandsberg

“The first Territorial Career Development Program (TCDP) meeting of 2024 was hosted in my hometown, Deutschlandsberg, and I have the pleasure of participating this year.

The atmosphere of the first workshop was filled with team spirit, and everyone was eager to welcome change and personal growth. Over the course of three days, we had the opportunity to connect with numerous colleagues from across Europe, who may develop into lasting friendships through TCDP. This event set a wonderful tone for future collaboration and individual development.”

Cornelia Vallant

Electronics apprentice, Deutschlandsberg

“After five years as an accountant in plant engineering, I reoriented myself professionally and started an apprenticeship as an electronics technician in applied electronics with network technology at the Deutschlandsberg site.

I have to say: the new start was totally worth it for me. As an accountant, I checked whether the invoices matched the deliveries and actually just shoveled work from one side to the other. The electronics apprenticeship, on the other hand, is very specialized and suits me well. Things are also going very well at vocational school. Learning has always been easy for me, and the fact that I have my A-levels also helps me to cope with the subject matter.”
