From Show Jumper to
Machine and Equipment Operator

After many years on the road, Daniel Engbers has found his professional home at the BEWITAL Group

Daniel Engbers spent many years of his life on horseback—with great success: Until 2019, the now 39-year-old competed worldwide as a professional show jumper. He never missed a tournament: Whether in Germany, the United States, or Australia—he was always on the road. With the birth of his first daughter, however, came a desire for a more settled life and “normality.” The trained electrician started at BEWITAL as a machine and plant operator—today, he works as one of the shift supervisors responsible for production planning. Daniel Engbers remembers his start well: “The job was a real stroke of luck and fit perfectly into my life plan. Being a show jumper was my dream job even as a child, but as a father of two daughters now, spending time with my family is more important to me. At BEWITAL, I can perfectly balance my work, my personal life, and show jumping as a hobby.”

For Daniel Engbers, the BEWITAL Group is what you might call a professional home—he has been part of the company for many years and has continued to grow as part of the team. “At BEWITAL, colleagues really treat each other as equals; it’s very family-like, and everyone is willing to listen. That’s not something to be taken for granted, especially since BEWITAL is growing rapidly,” he emphasizes.

Today, more than 620 colleagues work for the corporate group; when Daniel started in 2019, there were far fewer. But it’s not just the number of employees that shows BEWITAL is investing in the future. There are also new machines, the expansion of the new Plant 6 in Südlohn-Oeding, new technologies, innovations across many areas of the group, and a steady stream of smart developments in nutrition for farm animals and pets. BEWITAL is making strides in many ways and keeping pace with the times. Daniel says: “It never gets boring, and things are always moving forward. Here, you’re challenged and supported—that gives me a sense of security.”

There are also numerous opportunities opening up for new team members, according to Daniel: “For example, we have great machines that require equally great machine and plant operators.” We’re looking for people who are interested in modern technology and automated systems and who enjoy working as part of a team.
