Our group of companies brings together a wide range of business areas – from operating arcades and online gaming services to manufacturing gaming and cash-handling machines. Across numerous locations, we work in diverse fields of activity, driven by the variety and passion that define our MERKUR spirit.
We tailor our approach to communication depending on the respective area. What matters most to us is a culture of appreciation, where a simple thank you carries meaning, trust is tangible and collaboration takes place on equal terms. This is how we create an environment in which ideas grow, responsibility is shared and we shape the future together.
Apprenticeship and Dual Study Programmes are far more to us than just a career start – they are an investment in the future of our region and our group of companies. We support young talents who want to shape the world of tomorrow with curiosity, commitment and ideas. Those who start with us open up real prospects – professionally, personally and as individuals
