Career | FIT Additive Manufacturing Group

Careers at FIT AG

A company's success is not based on machinery, it is based on people, working together with passion and skill to impress customers. OK, but why in Lupburg? The FIT Additive Manufacturing Group was founded by Carl Fruth in his garage in 1995, which stood and still stands in Lupburg. Since then, we have developed into one of the leading companies for additive manufacturing at the brand new AM Campus, constructed in 2017. In 2018, we opened our Boarding House, an optional home for employees who have to travel long distances. And, incidentally, Lupburg is located directly on the motorway, halfway between Nuremberg and Regensburg, two of the most beautiful cities in Bavaria. As you can see, there are heaps of good reasons to come to Lupburg. Want to help shape the future? Then join us! We offer fantastic career opportunities in a rapidly growing company in an emerging industry – for specialists, young professionals, apprentices and students. We have jobs that you won't find anywhere else. Challenging, extraordinary, innovative.

WHAT EMPLOYEES THINK

Norbert Neumayer
Technical Employee

I supervise the Laser Melting processes in our metal AM area. I am constantly amazed that industrial 3D printing lets you watch simple metal powder be transformed into innovative metal parts. From the very first time that I saw a laser melting system at work, a spark was lit.

Federico ‚Fede‘ Forestiero
Designer / Creative mind

FIT offers an awesome combination of innovative, cutting edge technologies and creativity. This is what makes FIT a place where I love to work! In each project the challenges are solved within a multi-disciplinary team where fabricators and designers work together hand in hand. I think that being part of FIT means being part of a group of people who are willing to experience new ways of manufacturing!

Anton Werner
Head of Toolmaking

What I find interesting about my work is that every day we manufacture new parts that often have very special requirements. In injection molding we are able to quickly produce finished parts and it is really satisfying to be able to complete a difficult order on time. You go home feeling that you have really made a difference. A particular highlight is the good cooperation and cohesion between the colleagues that you will struggle to find anywhere else.

Petra Nagy
Data Processor PAM FIT Prototyping

Data processing is an important interface with the customer with a great deal of responsibility for the desired quality of the component. I am always pleased when I have mastered a difficult task to my satisfaction. This lets us make the best possible use of our manufacturing capacities. I particularly appreciate the good, collegial work environment. This makes it really fun and easy to get involved.

Markus Axtner
Technical Manager FIT AG

After working in a few roles in laser technology and additive manufacturing, I joined FIT to experience additive manufacturing in its purest form and help drive this forward. I perform a wide range of tasks, from simple technical problem-solving for customer projects through to the introduction of new manufacturing technologies. It is precisely this range and a truly fantastic team that make it so enjoyable.

Jürgen Tauchnitz
Head of the Elastomer FIT Prototyping division

The thing that makes elastomer manufacturing so special is that there is no such thing as a standard case, because every mixture is different and is aligned to the product’s intended purpose. This naturally means that we have very close contact with our customers. After all, rubber is not exactly a straightforward natural product and it is a nice feeling when a customer is completely satisfied with the products.

Matthias Kern
Project Manager Medical Technology

In the medical technology sector in particular we are now able to manufacture additive products that significantly improve a patient’s quality of life. Whether this is ensuring the quick availability of bone implants to considerably reduce painful waiting times before surgery or allowing patients with sports prostheses to once again actively participate in social life without restrictions.
