Last week at Winweb, it was time to close our laptops and head to Bottrop! Around 40 colleagues visited the ELORIA Erlebnisfabrik, an event venue on the site of a former coal mine in the Ruhr region. It is home to EXPLORIA, Europe’s largest escape room. However, it has little in common with a traditional escape room: Instead of a single room, visitors can expect an entire world in the style of the 1920s.

In randomly assembled small groups, we competed against one another. The shared goal: to collect as many Reichsmarks as possible. Teamwork, creativity and, from time to time, a little ambition were called for. Because the groups were a diverse mix, colleagues who rarely interact in their day-to-day work suddenly found themselves on the same team. It was a great opportunity to get to know one another in a different way. And there were one or two surprising talents to discover.

We won’t reveal exactly what happened in the rooms. Photos weren’t allowed there anyway, and we don’t want to spoil the fun for anyone. After the competition, we rounded off the evening with a delicious buffet.

And who collected the most Reichsmarks in the end? We honored the winning teams today at our monthly Pizza Day: They received certificates, with a small prize for the team in first place. Congratulations!

A thoroughly successful team day with lots of fun and new groupings. That is exactly what makes great teamwork at Winweb.

At Winweb, vocational training is more than just a word on the careers page: it is an investment in the future. And this investment pays off: three of our trainees have successfully passed their final examinations, achieving good to excellent results. Better still, all three are staying with us as employees.

Two new IT specialists in application development

Marcel and Zahraa have completed their training as IT specialists in application development and are now joining our development team. During their training, they worked on real-world projects and gained in-depth insights into the development of our ERP software for the meat and food industry. Both will now continue their careers as full-fledged members of the team.

New addition to the support team

Chaimaa has also successfully completed her vocational training as an IT systems management specialist. She will be joining our support team and helping our customers in meat processing, food production and food wholesale with any questions about their ERP solution.

Training that pays off – for both sides

We do not take it for granted that young talent will stay with us after completing their training, which makes us all the more delighted. It shows that at Winweb, we do not just provide training—we create real career prospects.

Congratulations to all three of them on this fantastic achievement – we look forward to our time together!

There is plenty happening at Winweb once again: we are delighted to welcome no fewer than six new colleagues in August!
Alongside three apprentices training as IT specialists in application development, one apprentice training as an IT systems management specialist, and one systems integrator, a working student was hired to support the programming team. As often happens some are more reluctant to be photographed than others; we respect that and are no less delighted.
We wish them all a fantastic start and an enjoyable and successful time at Winweb.

31 Winweb colleagues, a World Cup prediction game, countless missed results on our phones before even the first coffee ☕📱

Sure, some were eliminated along the way (credit where credit is due 😅), but most followed the excitement right to the end. And honestly: Things did not just heat up at the top, every position further down the rankings was fought over as fiercely as the big-eared trophy itself 🏆

Today was the day: At our monthly pizza day 🍕, the top 3 were honored with certificates to great applause. Winner Fabian also received an extra treat – well deserved! (Incidentally, Fabian already came 1st in the European Championship prediction game.)

It’s a shame that the days when the results were the first thing we checked in the morning are over. But one thing is certain: We’ll be back for the next tournament 😉

Yesterday was the day again: Our rather large team took part in the 13th Aachen Corporate Run. A total of 6178 participants representing 439 companies competed in this charity run – and just as with programming, we also gave it our all on the course.

Eleven colleagues joined around 2,200 other runners in taking on the 6.6-km course. One particular highlight was: Daniel from our development team secured the overall victory in the 6.6-km race! An outstanding achievement, for which we congratulate him!

For us, the Aachen company run has long been about much more than just an athletic competition. It represents team spirit, shared experiences outside the daily work routine and – not least – the good cause that the event supports every year. In 2026, the proceeds will go to non-profit organisations and projects in the Aachen city region that promote health, sport, integration, inclusion, violence prevention and therapeutic support.

We’re looking forward to the next run!

Ten colleagues set off yesterday – despite the rain showers.

The second team walk of the season took us along a route in and around Aachen, and anyone who thought a few drops of rain would dampen the mood was proved wrong.

What made this round so special was that colleagues from a wide range of departments took part – and even our boss joined in. These are exactly the kinds of moments that bring people together. Out on the course, there are no hierarchies, just a shared goal.

What remains? Beaming faces – full of anticipation before the start, and full of pride with a medal afterwards. Everyone achieved their own small feat, and together it was all the greater.

We’re already looking forward to the next round. 🥾

On April 28, 2026, the time had come again: B2Run Aachen kicked off the nationwide corporate running series – and Winweb Informationstechnologie GmbH was there!

At Allianz Park in Aachen, four of our colleagues took to the starting line and, together with around 3,500 participants from the region, completed the approx. 5 km route through Aachen's Soers district. As always, the highlight was the emotional finish in the famous CHIO equestrian stadium – an unforgettable moment after a strong performance.

The B2Run is about more than just sport: It brings colleagues together outside their day-to-day work and fosters team spirit. Our four runners demonstrated this impressively – with total commitment, a positive attitude and an excellent result at the finish line.

We warmly congratulate our runners on this outstanding achievement and thank you for your commitment – you represented Winweb admirably!

We are already looking forward to the next edition. 👟

This week, the employees at Winweb had a large tasting selection of products from Rohmilchkäserei Backensholz GmbH & Co. KG– after his visit to northern Germany, our consultant Fabian had filled his car not only with a hefty package of tasks , but also with the finest cheese specialties and spreads directly from the farm 😄

We could not pass up this opportunity and today there was a large team breakfast buffet. Raw-milk cheese in many varieties, fresh bread rolls, grapes, walnuts and fine jams – the kitchen was the most popular place at Winweb this morning. 🍇

Many thanks once again to the Backensholz- team and of course to Winweb 🙌

The past year has challenged us all. New projects, IFFA and many innovative developments shaped our day-to-day work. Together, we overcame every challenge – and did so very successfully! We celebrated together and made a conscious effort to spend time with one another. Our staff parties and shared breaks were a wonderful reflection of our efforts to strengthen the team. At the same time, our team has grown – both professionally and personally. New colleagues quickly became part of the team and further reinforced our existing structures. We would like to thank everyone who is joining us on this journey. And we look forward to welcoming everyone who would like to become part of our team in the future. 🌟 🎁 🎄

As every year, we were once again delighted by a Christmas surprise from the management team: a gift basket from Monschauer Senfmühle, decorated with a warm message from the boss thanking all employees for their successful collaboration. This wonderful tradition brings good cheer and Christmas joy year after year 🌟 🎁 🎄 A heartfelt thank-you from the team for this gesture of appreciation 🌟

There was a lovely surprise for everyone in the office this morning. The week can happily start on such a sweet note! Thank you, dear St. Nicholas

Despite the rain and wind, our staff party took place at the end of last week – with burgers for all employees and their partners. It was warm and cozy in the marquee, and there were plenty of drinks.

For the second time, the team had requested burgers from Jülich-based caterer Plantikow – and with good reason: they are simply delicious. It was such an enjoyable and sociable occasion that time flew by and we completely forgot to take photos!

Especially nice: The teams from the different departments once again had some great conversations with each other. These connections now also add variety to lunch breaks.

Thank you to Winweb, Plantikow and all participants for a wonderful evening.

The weather was exceptionally kind to the roughly 7,500 participants in this year’s Aachen Company Run. In unusually high temperatures and a great atmosphere, seven runners took part for Winweb. All of them crossed the finish line exhausted but satisfied and with good results. More than €10,000 was raised in donations, which will be distributed among charitable projects in Aachen dedicated to health, sport, physical activity, healthy eating, social participation, integration, inclusion, violence prevention and therapeutic support.

Children and young people should be able to enjoy the summer holidays to the fullest – which is why the Schleiden local heritage association – with the support of Aachener Bank and many other sponsors – is organizing a varied programme of activities during the summer holidays. We too are happy to support this initiative and wish all participants and organizers an exciting and relaxing holiday. 🌞

Winweb once again showed its sporting spirit at this event: In perfect weather, a motivated group of colleagues set off on the TeamWalk Aachen. The 9-kilometer route led from the Tivoli stadium over the Lousberg – a challenging climb that rewarded us with cold drinks and streusel rolls at the summit. Afterward, we enjoyed a relaxed walk back through the Soers district to the stadium.

Music, cheerleaders and a fantastic atmosphere awaited us there. The course was manageable for everyone – and the shared experience strengthened our team spirit. Thank you to everyone who took part!

Yesterday, we once again took part in the B2Run corporate run – a tradition we have maintained for many years. In perfect weather and a fantastic atmosphere, we competed as a small but motivated team alongside around 2,800 runners. The entire team surpassed themselves 💪 . Special mentions go to: 🏅 Daniel finished in a sensational 26th place overall and came 3rd in the over-30 age category, while Fabian achieved an impressive 111th place overall and 15th place in the over-30 category.

The Winweb team wishes you a happy Easter and a basket full of treats!

Even in the office, anyone can find themselves in a situation where acting quickly can save lives. That is why some of our colleagues took part in a first aid course organized by the company. Through a wide range of practical exercises and valuable advice, they refreshed their knowledge and learned new skills.

From the recovery position and cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the safe use of a defibrillator – the course provided comprehensive training for emergencies in the workplace and beyond. Our colleagues are now fully prepared to respond appropriately in an emergency.

A big thank you to all participants for their commitment! 👍

Every year, the Winweb team celebrates its traditional winter party across departments. On Friday, it was that time again: We enjoyed delicious food at a Chinese-Mongolian buffet, shared news and had the opportunity to get to know new colleagues better. Afterwards, Mufasa & Co. whisked us away into the fascinating world of Disney in a cinema auditorium reserved exclusively for Winweb – animation at its finest! 👍

Winter is a busy time for us: the individual departments get together for a small year-end or New Year gathering. The development department showed off its skills at bowling 🎳, while the wider administration and support teams enjoyed a meal together. 🍽 The atmosphere was fantastic! Unfortunately, many were unable to attend due to illness, but we’ll make up for it: At the end of January, all colleagues – including management – will meet for a big cross-departmental get-together. 💬✨ We can’t wait!

We wish not only our employees a happy holiday season; we also extend our wishes to everyone else, grateful for their support of Winweb this year and looking forward to continuing our collaboration in 2025!

Even before Christmas, we at Winweb were thoroughly spoiled this week: As a thank-you for the great teamwork, employees received a gift box full of comfort-food treats and, for anyone who wanted one, a shirt with an embroidered logo.

To top it all off, Mr. Köhler, who gives us massages once a week, surprised us with homemade Christmas muffins – that’s how we like the Christmas season! 🎄✨🍪

In September, Aldenhoven took part in the “City Cycling” campaign for the first time. Naturally, a Winweb team also joined in. The 13-strong team pedaled hard for three weeks. Every journey made by bicycle was recorded, and the kilometers covered were added up at the end. The result is impressive: with a proud total of 2,760 kilometers cycled, Winweb secured second place in the overall rankings.

On behalf of the team, Arne von Berg accepted the award last week. Special thanks go to our colleague Stefan, who covered an impressive 1111,1 kilometres all by himself. A remarkable achievement that received a separate award. Incidentally, the campaign prevented 4 tonnes of CO² emissions in Aldenhoven alone, 8.088 tonnes across North Rhine-Westphalia and no fewer than 36.153 tonnes throughout Germany. This sets a high bar for next year – we are looking forward to it!

After the battle with the rain last year, our runners were rewarded with glorious sunshine at the company run last Friday. 7 of the 8 active Winweb runners competed in the 6.6 km course. For anyone wondering why only 6 runners can be seen in the photo: the 7th runner was already out on the 9.9 km course, see the second photo. Arne von Berg actually ran both courses back to back! We are deeply impressed by this achievement!

This year, eight colleagues took part in the DAK campaign “Cycle to Work”. They simply left their cars at home more often for their commute to the office and instead cycled an impressive total of 3119 km, saving a full 614 kg of CO².

Congratulations to everyone involved!

Winweb summer party 2024 – we met at the BattleKart track in Übach-Palenberg last Friday. It was all about virtually collecting fruit, virtually scoring goals, blocking opponents – and of course speed. Anyone who dared to take to the kart track could feel a little like SuperMario 😉. To go with it, there was plenty of food with hamburgers and tacos. Almost all Winweb employees were there and had lots of fun either actively driving or watching: Until next time!

We are proud to congratulate all five trainees who began their training with us in 2021: They all achieved good final results, and almost all of them continue to enrich our team. Congratulations!

For the 2024 training year, Winweb selected two candidates from a large pool of applicants. Jennifer Schaffrath will train as an IT specialist in application development as part of the Switch program, while Tobias Kelter-Dahmen will join our support team as an IT systems management specialist.

We extend a warm welcome to our new team members!

Today, the winners of the European Championship prediction game were crowned! After such a long time, it was great to once again share the excitement and fun of a prediction game with the team.

It was an exciting competition with many surprising twists and turns. Our winners can celebrate not only their accurate predictions, but also their prizes. Those who took the top places were honored with a certificate for their outstanding achievements. The lucky winner also received a sweet reward: football-shaped chocolate, perfectly suited to the occasion.

Many thanks to all participants and organizers for their enthusiasm and commitment. We are already looking forward to the next World Cup prediction game!

This year again, the AOK’s “Cycle to Work” campaign, in cooperation with the ADFC, started on May 1. No fewer than eight colleagues are taking part! From May to August, the aim is to cycle to work as often as possible, not only to improve their health, but also to reduce CO2 emissions and thus help protect the environment. If they are lucky, they may win one of the prizes provided by regional campaign partners.

In an IT company, the risk of fire is not particularly high. Nevertheless, a fire can break out anywhere. We at Winweb are well prepared: Eight more team members recently completed training as fire safety assistants! During the training, they learned all about fire prevention, extinguishing methods and escape routes. Then it was time for some hands-on practice: They tried out various fire extinguishers to ensure they are prepared for an emergency.

A huge thank you to R. Kuhn and Tom Steffens for their fantastic support!

Unfortunately, the weather conditions were not quite ideal for the participants in the first Aachen Teamwalk. Approx. 1,600 participants (13 of them from Winweb) set off on Wednesday evening on a nearly 9 km walking route over the Lousberg, through the Soers, and back to the stadium at Tivoli. The pouring rain did nothing to dampen the high spirits – thanks in no small part to the dancing, musical or written encouragement along the route or the refreshment-stop with panoramic views over Aachen.  Right on cue for our finisher-photo, a good two hours later, the sun briefly came out after all as a reward.

It was that time again: This time, 13 Winweb runners took part in the B2Run through the CHIO grounds and the Tivoli stadium. The weather gods smiled on us and gave us the only dry day of the week. Temperatures were cool, so our new running jackets were put to use for the first time. As always, the results were excellent: 2,800 runners took part, and the fastest Winweb runner crossed the finish line in exactly 100th place. But most importantly, it was great fun once again! See you again in May for the Team Walk!

In the first week of the month (the day varies depending on vocational school days and vacation periods), our regular pizza-day event continues to take place. Which and how many team members participate varies. We are usually around 25 people from all departments, who chat and get to know each other better during the shared break. A good thing, we think. Next time, we will be sending greetings from the garden again!

We wish everyone who has supported Winweb in every conceivable way this year a peaceful Christmas and all the very best for 2024!

Warm regards, the Winweb team

A big, delicious thank-you arrived for the Winweb team in time for Christmas last week: A wintry tin filled with cheese specialties. With this gift, the management thanked each and every employee for their dedication and hard work, naturally with best wishes for Christmas and the new year

And that was not all Winweb came up with. In addition, the departments held Christmas parties they organized themselves according to their tastes. From a LAN-party with pizza to a leisurely meal or mulled wine, a VR-escape-room and billiards – there was something for everyone.

Thank you, Winweb!

The 10th Aachen Corporate Run has taken place. For Winweb, it was the 6th time taking part, with a small team competing due to illness. But neither that nor the weather deterred our runners – both the 6.6km and the 9.9km distances were completed in excellent times. Congratulations!

As every year, we received many applications for apprenticeships. Four applicants were successful and received a warm welcome at Winweb on August 1. They are joining the team as management assistants for IT systems and IT specialists in application development.

We wish all four of them every success in this new chapter of their lives and look forward to working with them!

Our “Bike to Work” team is growing!

Since May 1, our colleagues have once again been taking part in the AOK’s “Cycle to Work” campaign in cooperation with the ADFC. This year, for the first time, more than 15% of our workforce has joined in so far! From May to August, the aim is to cycle to work as often as possible, not only doing something good for our health but also reducing CO2 emissions. Perhaps we will even win one of the prizes on offer. Fingers crossed!
You can find out more at https://www.mit-dem-rad-zur-arbeit.de/rheinland/.

This time, 10 Winweb runners took part in the B2Run Aachen under ideal weather conditions. This event is our favorite because of its scenic route, which takes participants through two equestrian stadiums and the Alemannia stadium. By the way: Joy, the little bundle of fur, did not take part in the run, but was allowed to join the photo as a mascot.

An eventful year lies behind us. Winweb exhibited at IFFA and the Fleischkongress in Mainz, we celebrated the excellent final results achieved by our trainees and, of course, our company anniversary. We are delighted with new internal traditions, such as our Pizza Day, and 11 new additions to the Winweb team (which also had plenty to celebrate in their personal lives).

It was a positive year! Winweb is starting 2023 full of energy and would like to share some of it with all its customers, friends and partners.

We wish everyone happy holidays and a lively 2023!

At this year’s awards ceremony for top apprentices in Wuppertal, organized by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Fabian Quante was recognized as the top IT systems management apprentice in the state. We proudly congratulate him on this achievement and are delighted that he will remain with us as a colleague.

After a long break due to the coronavirus pandemic, Winweb's runners were finally able to let off steam again at the corporate run in Aachen. Colleagues took part in all distances of 3,3km, 6,6km and 9,9km and once again achieved great times. Above all, however, it was fun to be swept along by the atmosphere at this event. We will definitely be back again next year!

Mayor Ralf Claßen congratulates Willi von Berg and his successor Arne von Berg on the company’s 25th anniversary

Winweb welcomed visitors: Mayor Ralf Claßen and Head of Staff Marcel Dederichs visited Winweb and spoke at length with members of the management team about the milestones in the company’s 25-year history. Growth plans for the future were also presented. The municipality pledged its full support for the planned construction of a new company building.

“Break Friday” – perhaps the beginning of a wonderful tradition? Taking a break together again, away from the workplace, not alone but in conversation with colleagues, is clearly more restorative, compared with everyone continuing to brood on their own. We know this and it is supported and encouraged.

So today we were treated to pizza, which we were able to enjoy during a relaxing picnic in the garden.

After an initial silence during the meal, news was exchanged, jokes were made, and plans were hatched for more break-time activities.

We’re looking forward to the next Break Friday!

Heat like you would imagine in hell – a team that could not have been more motivated – impressive results: After a two-year break, Winweb once again took part in the B2Run in Aachen on Thursday, 11 August 2022, with 14 employees. The fastest of our runners finished 73rd in the individual ranking (out of 1,800 participants). All our runners achieved exceptionally good times this year! We were determined to do it!

As every year, we are pleased to once again offer apprenticeships in a variety of occupational fields.

This training year, we were pleased to welcome three new apprentices as colleagues and are confident that we can equip them with the skills they need for their careers.

Robert Vaaßen and Florian Xhemajli (from left) are training as IT systems management assistants and strengthening our support team, while Igor Esau (right) will join our development team as an application development IT specialist.

We warmly welcome all three of them!

You can find more apprenticeship opportunities and vacancies at winweb.de/karriere

In January 2022, three of our trainees took their examinations as an information and telecommunications management assistant and IT specialists in application development at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. These were unusual training years – working from home, remote supervision and lessons. Despite the adverse circumstances, all three graduated with the grade ‘very good’. We congratulate them and are proud of their outstanding achievements.

Since 1 August, we have been proud to call four new trainees our colleagues. Winweb is delighted to welcome you.

Exciting tasks and many new experiences await the future IT specialists in application development and IT systems management assistants – as well as of course a friendly motivated team, who make it possible for everyone to settle into working life and receive optimal training in their specialist areas despite all coronavirus safety measures.

(from left to right) Tim Stammwitz is training to become an IT specialist in application development. Emre-Han Sari, Daniel Wirtz and Fabian Karsch are our future IT systems management specialists.

Our goal is to build a steadily growing team of skilled and satisfied employees. We also welcome your comprehensive application for positions outside our apprenticeship program. Please visit our job listings.

We defied COVID-19 and took part in the virtual company run. From 01/05/2021 to 14/05/2021, company employees throughout Germany each ran a distance of 6 km.

8 Winweb employees took on the challenge. Our best male runner finished 78th overall (out of 685 participants), placing 18th in his age group. And our Winweb 1 team fought its way to an excellent 84th place.  Our best female Winweb runner placed 46th in her age group (out of 185 participants).

Running together is definitely more fun, but as the results show, we’re keeping up our training and eagerly looking forward to our next run together.

Although most of the Winweb workforce is currently working from home, we continue to be united by more than our collaborative work on customer projects. We are trying to stay healthy not only through isolation, but also through exercise:  A running group has been formed and no fewer than 13 colleagues are now racing one another – and the number is growing! In a short time, we have run an impressive 666 km – so that we can hopefully see each other again soon in good shape and take part in the largest nationwide corporate running challenge in Germany FIRMEN-LAUFEN-WEITER in May, among other things, with a particularly high number of participants.

For a touch of normality and as a preventive health measure at Winweb, we are once again regularly stocking our vitamin bar.

Recently, we have been supported in this by the Hofladen Kuckertz from the neighboring town, which supplies locally grown fruit and vegetables wherever possible. This allows us to support local businesses sustainably and enjoy every bite.

We wish all our employees, customers, interested parties and suppliers a merry Christmas and a good start to what we hope will be a happy and healthy 2021.

This year again, out of consideration for the environment, Winweb refrained from sending parcels and letters and donated an amount to Musikschule Aldenhoven e.V.

… Winweb celebrates a winter festival. However, like so many other things, it will not be able to take place due to the current situation. We are required to enjoy our glass of wine with only our closest family and friends. To provide a little culinary enjoyment, the management team has given each employee a hamper as a Winweb Christmas gift. This way, despite social distancing, we can feast together and make the best of the situation.

Thank you very much!

The first unit went to Winweb: CRT – Clean Room Technology delivered the first RoomGuard on Thursday, 18.11.2020, to Winweb. The mobile air purifier will provide clean, virus-reduced air in one of the programmers’ offices. The risk of transmission will be minimised and employees will be optimally protected. We are glad that we made the decision so quickly and thus secured prompt delivery.

We are proud to report that yet another of our apprentices has completed his vocational training with top marks. Tobias Packbier, another highly qualified IT systems management specialist, is now strengthening our customer consulting team.

Winweb's first dual-study student, Denise Kastory, has also successfully completed her vocational training as an IT specialist in application development. We are delighted that she will continue working for Winweb while she completes her degree in business information systems.

Congratulations!

Instead of a Christmas party, we once again celebrated a winter festival together.

This year’s theme, “pub sports”, was enthusiastically embraced. Once food and refreshments had been provided, table football, darts, pool and air hockey brought nearly all participants out of their shells and allowed us to see our colleagues in a completely different light.

The crowning glory was Winweb's own tournament-quality foosball table, which will make breaks more enjoyable from now on.

We had a lot of fun and a great evening!

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy start to the New Year. May health, happiness, contentment and many wonderful moments be with you throughout the New Year.

This year, out of consideration for the environment, Winweb chose not to send parcels or letters and instead donated money to the Aldenhovener Tisch.

Last week, the 8th Aachen Company Run took place, starting and finishing at the Melaten Campus of RWTH-Aachen. A total of 8,279 runners from the region took part this year and raised €35,000 in changeable weather conditions.

Winweb also participated with a new record of 15 runners from across all areas of the company. This gave us our first opportunity to successfully test our new Winweb running shirts. Wearing them, team winweb1 even finished among the top 100 of the 360 teams that competed. But of course, we are proud of all our runners, who are improving their own fitness while also supporting a good cause. Since traditions should be upheld, we will certainly be taking part again next year.

The four-person team of Winweb employees cycled an impressive 2.291km between them this year.

For the second time, we took part in the AOK’s “Cycle to Work” campaign, which encouraged participants to cycle to work as often as possible between May and the end of August. We didn’t win anything, but glory and honour are assured.

We'll be there again next year!

Summer party 2019: In glorious weather, we showed off our sporting prowess. Whether football golf or mini golf – the goal was the same: The ball had to go into the hole!

At miniature golf, it became clear that life experience and practice led to victory: Mr Pavic emerged as the winner.

Football golf was a new challenge for almost all participants. Players had to shoot over hills, and through pipes. Even experienced footballers reached their limits, but everyone had great fun!

And finally, the winner was decided: Leon Fröhlich sank the ball in the specified 18 holes with just 84 shots! Congratulations!

To round off the day, we enjoyed a barbecue together and made the most of the long summer evening!

Since 2007, Winweb has now exhibited at IFFA in Frankfurt am Main for the fifth time.

Thank you very much for visiting us!

On the homepage and via https://youtu.be/ErEyraYubCY you can also catch up on the trade fair activities afterwards.

Time for a brief look back at our IFFA journey:

10 Winweb colleagues took part in this year’s B2Run in the Soers district of Aachen with great motivation and just as much fun. This is undoubtedly our favorite course: running where Alemannia usually plays and the horses jump….

A special venue provided the setting for Winweb’s ‚New Year’s party‘ this year: the Flower Hall at Brückenkopfpark Jülich was transformed into Casino Royal.

Employees and their partners were able to try their luck at roulette, blackjack and poker under expert guidance – without any risk or their own capital, just for fun.

After everyone had eaten at the buffet, the games began and continued until well after midnight. The winners were then announced.

And the winner is….

Another Winweb apprentice in Berlin – Simon Gaul, an IT specialist in application development, has done it: with 99 out of 100 points in the Chamber of Industry and Commerce final exam, he was the top apprentice nationwide in his profession. He will travel to Berlin in early December for the award ceremony.

For Winweb as a training company, it is an extraordinary achievement to have produced Germany’s best apprentice for the second time in a row. Managing Director Willi von Berg: “The excellent results achieved by our apprentices in recent years demonstrate the quality of our training. We are, of course, particularly proud of exceptional achievements such as Mr Gaul’s. Producing Germany’s best apprentice again after 2017 will certainly go down in the company’s history.”

The Aachen Company Run in September is already a firm fixture for Winweb’s runners.

This year, the Winweb team finished 53rd in the 9.6 km race thanks to consistent training and growing ambition, improving by 100 places compared with last year!

Three trainees achieve top marks at Winweb

This year, an especially large group took part. The training is paying off, and the running times keep getting better! It was great fun, we could once again count on the fan chant in the Alemannia stadium, and entering the large CHIO stadium always makes the finish feel special.

Winweb is proud

In the winter 2017/18 examination session, one of our trainees once again completed the IT systems management assistant training program with the highest grade of ‚very good‘!

S. Anhalt was honored as one of the best in the region by the Aachen/Düren Chamber of Commerce and Industry for his examination results.

Kai Schmaglowski, who trained as an IT systems management specialist at Winweb, passed his final examination with 98 out of 100 points. This makes him the top graduate in this vocational training programme throughout Germany. „We are delighted with the exceptionally outstanding result achieved by Mr Schmaglowski“, says Winweb-CEO Willi von Berg and is pleased that the young man will remain with the company in consulting and support after completing his training.

The flu virus may have reduced the number of runners: an unwavering core team kept the Winweb flag flying! We also posted very good results at this company run in Aachen, both in the 4.8 km race and the 9.6 km race.

Our apprentices have been honoured! Kai Schmaglowski and Paul Heesel shine with ‘very good’ exam grades!

At an official Chamber of Industry and Commerce event, our two former apprentices were presented with certificates in recognition of their outstanding examination results.

We congratulate them on this special achievement, of which they can both rightly be proud.

Our employees are the foundation: we celebrate our 20th anniversary together

It was meant to be a small family celebration when the Winweb team gathered for a barbecue on Friday. Partners and children also joined the relaxed get-together, where good food and drinks provided an opportunity for conversations that there is no time for in everyday life.

At the same time, we honored our anniversary cohort: never before had our apprentices achieved better results in their final examinations.

1997: Once upon a time…

Managing Director Willi von Berg founds Winweb Informationstechnologie GmbH and begins marketing the winweb-food software he developed. These are not exactly ‚garage days‘, as the company has bright offices in its own building, but it starts small with two additional programmers. One of the first customers – and still a customer today – is Schwarzwaldfleisch GmbH in Achern.

2017: What has changed…       What has remained the same…

Today, 45 employees, primarily programmers, consultants and support specialists, look after the needs of more than 150 customers. The offices have moved from the founder’s home into a separate building, equipped with the latest technology and everything that makes a workplace pleasant. – Nevertheless: Winweb still does not need a grand, elaborate company building. Other priorities take center stage:

The software has grown almost tenfold, from an initial 200 screens to around 1700 screens today. Customer requests and specific industry requirements in the food industry, particularly the meat sector, continuously drive innovation and user-focused improvements to winweb-food.

Willi von Berg is still the dependable central figure at Winweb Informationstechnologie GmbH – dependable for the employees in a company with flat hierarchies and direct access to the boss, – but above all dependable for customers when it comes to fulfilling customer requests and responding quickly to new requirements. As an owner-managed company, Winweb remains a software partner that works with its customers as an equal.

13 employees ran for Winweb in the major Business Run in Aachen.

Everyone gave their best while enjoying the impressive running route: it led through the stadium where Alemannia usually plays, through the meadows where the carriages travel during the equestrian tournament, and ended with a finish in the large CHIO stadium right where the award ceremonies take place during the famous equestrian competition!

The setting and the positive atmosphere produced excellent results: our male colleagues finished in the top third, while the women achieved a respectable mid-table position!

Friday, 30 September 2016, marks the company run in Aachen and Winweb sends 7 runners to the starting line for the first time on the challenging 9.6 km course.

Participants: 447 companies, a total of 7000 runners and the Winweb runners prove that they can do more than just move a computer mouse—they are also fit and ambitious enough to keep up on the course. They proudly finish in the top third! Hats off to the fitness of the participants: Mr Cieslar, Mr Dankelmann, Mr Fröhlich, Mr Hellwig, Mr Herrmanns and Mr Kohl.

Our customer Theo Keinhörster Großschlachterei mit Fleischhandel e.K. successfully participated in Metro's pilot project and was able to provide traceability data for the delivered goods automatically from winweb-food. This uses the fully integrated format GS1 EPCIS fTRACE.

We are delighted to have been recognized today by Bizerba as a Gold Partner for industrial software and look forward with anticipation to our shared future.

Gold certification from Bizerba

Traceability requirements for companies in the meat and sausage products industry are growing: whether osapiens fTRACE,myNetFair, proprietary solutions used by processing companies or food discounters such as Aldi, countless formats are now required by producers and suppliers. All providers of Traceability platforms pursue the same goal using the same means – greater transparency for customers through the most complete possible documentation of the companies involved along the value chain. Yet as important as this is, it should not slow down the processes of those doing the actual work. Without an intelligent IT solution, however, this is now almost impossible to achieve.

This is precisely where Winweb is one decisive step ahead: regardless of the target format of the report, data on goods subject to reporting is captured centrally, can be evaluated in advance and ultimately sent to the recipient of the report. The various target formats for batch-based information are supported, as are the different data transmission methods used to send the Traceability report to the recipient. Finished products are labeled in accordance with the requirements using the price labeling managed in winweb-food.
