For me, NMC is an international company with strong family roots — and you can truly feel it. There’s a culture of openness and respect, where people meet each other at eye level. At the same time, NMC is always looking ahead, addressing the challenges of tomorrow and working on the right solutions. There’s a sense of movement, of progress — and that makes it exciting to be part of the journey.
What I enjoy most about my role at NMC Deutschland is the connection with people. I work with many different customers across our segments and product groups, each with their own needs and perspectives. Finding the right solutions together and bringing them to market is something I genuinely enjoy. But it’s not just about customers; it’s also about colleagues. Whether within my team in the D-A-CH region or across our international network, I value the exchange of ideas, the different viewpoints, and the opportunity to learn from each other every day. It broadens my horizon and keeps things inspiring.
At NMC, I’ve continued to grow — not only professionally but also personally. Recently, I’ve been focusing on improving my language skills, especially Polish and English. Thanks to international meetings and collaboration, I’ve had the chance to practice and develop them again. It’s a great example of how NMC encourages continuous learning and development in everyday work.
The magical thing about our foams:
For me, I’s their incredible versatility. You can find our foam products in so many different applications, often where you wouldn’t expect them. And the possibilities don’t stop — there is always room for new ideas, new solutions, and new ways to innovate. That’s what keeps it exciting.
NMC is an exceptional place to work because:
It’s the combination of a strong family spirit, real opportunities to grow, and an international environment. This organization is a place where you feel supported, but also encouraged to develop and explore beyond your comfort zone.
My magical foam moment at NMC:
One of my most memorable “magical foam moments” actually came from home. My 8-year-old son once asked me if we really make foam products at NMC. When I said yes, his eyes lit up: “That’s amazing! Then you could make SpongeBob. I’d be your first customer, and all my friends would follow!” It was such a simple, honest reaction, and a truly clever and funny moment.
