Published

on

Wittur, one of the leading international groups in elevator components, has unveiled a new international supplier management platform, powered by JAGGAER.

LONDON, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Headquartered in Germany, with production sites in 11 countries, nearly a billion in sales in 2022, 4900 employees with 7 competence centers, 600+ patents and more than 50 countries served by the sales network, Wittur is an international leader among elevator components and offers the widest range of products in the elevator industry.

Wittur has launched a major procurement digital transformation project with a new platform built on JAGGAER technology, which centrally enables online management of key information related to the supplier base.

The portal is available in 5 languages and already has 4,000 suppliers from around the world on board, covering more than a hundred product categories. The new platform also supports risk assessment analysis through dedicated scorecards, which are critical for the decision making process. The digitization journey encompasses document management related to suppliers, down to the management of contracts and framework agreements.

“It was necessary and urgent for us to have all the information and best practices that were present in different Wittur offices around the world online, on a dedicated platform. Now all key information about our suppliers is tracked, available and usable in a few clicks, and the category tree allows us to use the supply fleet for different tasks. We are pleased with the progress with JAGGAER on this fruitful journey,” comments Pedrina Lucio, Manager of Purchasing Performance Office at Wittur.

“The project developed smoothly and quickly,” comments Fabio Moretti, Account Director at JAGGAER. “The objectives and the solutions were clear for us right from the start; together we shared a linear process that immediately yielded results, facilitating the team’s adoption of the new platform.”

One of the next steps relates to sustainability; Wittur aims to integrate the activities it currently performs to qualify and track the compliance with key ESG criteria for all global key suppliers onto the platform.

Building New York’s Advanced Manufacturing Workforce: Semikron Danfoss Celebrates its First GAINS Registered Apprenticeship Graduates

Published

on

By

Graduation coincides with National Apprenticeship Day 2025, underscoring the role of Registered Apprenticeships (RAs) in building career pathways and strengthening the U.S. semiconductor and advanced manufacturing workforce

UTICA, N.Y., May 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On Wednesday, Semikron Danfoss celebrated 15 apprentices who successfully completed the Industrial Manufacturing Technician RA program, advancing their careers in New York’s growing semiconductor and advanced manufacturing industry.

The graduation, held at Semikron Danfoss’ Utica facility, coincided with the U.S. Department of Labor’s (USDOL) newly designated National Apprenticeship Day—an evolution from the traditional National Apprenticeship Week held in November—reaffirming the critical role of RAs in workforce development. National Apprenticeship Day is a nationwide celebration recognizing the success and impact of apprenticeships in building strong career pathways and strengthening the U.S. workforce.

The RA program at Semikron Danfoss is supported by MACNY, The Manufacturers Association, serving as the Group Sponsor under the National Institute for Industry and Career Advancement’s™ (NIICA) Growing Apprenticeships in Nanotechnology and Semiconductors (GAINS)—a national workforce development program through USDOL. The program is supported by Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) which provides Related Technical Instruction (RTI) for the program.

“This graduation is a powerful example of how Registered Apprenticeship Programs are transforming workforce development in New York,” said Michael Frame, Executive Vice President of MACNY. “By combining industry-led training with educational support, we’re not just preparing individuals for jobs, we’re launching meaningful careers in advanced manufacturing and semiconductors. Semikron Danfoss is demonstrating what’s possible when employers invest in their people, and we’re proud to support their efforts in building the workforce of the future.”

The manufacturing sector supports more than 420,000 jobs statewide, and New York has attracted over $100 billion in semiconductor investments since 2022. Nationally, RA completers see strong outcomes, with an average starting salary of over $77,000 and 94% retained employment nine months after RA completion. Programs like the Industrial Manufacturing Technician apprenticeship help workers access high-skill, high-wage career pathways while strengthening New York’s advanced manufacturing and semiconductor industries.

“We’re incredibly proud of our apprentices and the dedication they’ve shown throughout this program,” said Michael Godsen, General Manager at Semikron Danfoss. “Registered Apprenticeship has allowed us to invest in our team’s growth while ensuring we’re building the advanced manufacturing workforce, we need for the future. Programs like this strengthen our company, our community, and the broader manufacturing industry here in New York.”

“This celebration is a reminder of what’s possible when we work collaboratively to build real pathways between education, training, and industry. Through initiatives like GAINS and the launch of New York’s first Career Opportunity Hub, NIICA is helping to meet critical workforce needs along the I-90 corridor and beyond—strengthening the industries that are vital to America’s future. This progress is made possible by strong partnerships across New York and the nation, including with MACNY, that share our commitment to expanding opportunities for workers and communities. We’re congratulate Semikron Danfoss and MACNY – and are proud to celebrate these apprentices,” said NIICA’s President & CEO Mike Russo.

Skill-based learning and RAs are key to building a workforce that can meet the demands of advanced manufacturing and semiconductor innovation. As these industries continue to grow, programs like GAINS are helping ensure that workers have clear, attainable pathways to high-skill, high-wage careers—and that employers have the talent they need to stay competitive.
