We wish to warmly congratulate our trainee Florian Hagedorn, who has successfully completed his apprenticeship as a mechatronics engineer by earning the grade “Very good”. This year, 660 trainees sat their final examination at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) of North Westphalia. 56 of the candidates managed to score at least 92 out of 100 possible marks. On November 17, 2016 the top-scoring graduates were invited to the Autohaus Toennemann in Coesfeld, where IHK Vice President Heinrich-Georg Krumme and host Jochen Toennemann jointly presented the certificates and congratulated the young specialists.
Florian Hagedorn started his apprenticeship as a mechatronics engineer on August 1, 2013. In parallel, he is also studying mechanical engineering at the FH Münster (Münster technical college) in Burgsteinfurt. The apprenticeship in mechatronics consists of a combination of mechanics, electrical engineering and computer science. The training content includes: mechanical processing, assembly and disassembly work, creation of technical drawings, wiring work, PLC programming, control engineering as well as pneumatics and hydraulic circuits.
“I deliberately chose to combine my training as a mechatronics engineer with the company JÖST GmbH + Co. KG with st
udying mechanical engineering. The training teaches you a lot of basic knowledge in a practical context. During my studies, these subjects are addressed and given even more depth,” explains Florian Hagedorn.
JOEST recognizes the importance of outstanding individual performance for the overall quality and progress of a com
pany, and we would therefore like to congratulate Mr Hagedorn once again — we are proud to have such a hard-working and committed employee on board.
Journeyman’s piece:
MOGENSEN joins China’s food security project as an official supplier, supporting the nation’s plans to strengthen domestic grain production capabilities. The appointment by COFCO, China’s largest state-owned agricultural company, includes the deployment of multiple precision screening systems for processing rice, wheat and soybeans, among other grains. This long-term initiative is in line with China’s new food security law, which went into effect on June 1, 2024.

My name is NOIRET Garance, I am 21 years old and I am a French student. As part of my engineering studies in 4th year in Energy Mechanics I had the opportunity to do my internship abroad at the company Joest in Germany.
In conventional exciters, the bearings are lubricated by oil mist. The gears inside the housing churn the oil into fine droplets, which are distributed within the gearbox. Only a portion of these droplets reaches the rolling bearings and provide the lubrication. Some housings have oil collection pockets on the inside. These are intended to guide the oil along the inner surfaces of the housing downwards into the bearings. However, the entry of oil into the bearings is random and the quantity is undetermined. To improve the entire lubrication, the JOEST Oil Management System has been developed.
2024 was a special year in many ways for our continuously growing JOEST group. To start, we completed the largest acquisition in our company‘s history at the turn of the year with the purchase of the MOGENSEN Group and its locations in Germany, Spain and Sweden.
