“As a Top Employer in Germany we have put in place a state-of-the-art infrastructure for experienced engineers to enable them to develop outstanding products and systems for our customers,” explains Jörg Stegert, Head of Corporate Human Resources at Knorr-Bremse. “At the same time we also foster the development of high potentials at international level. In this respect our Management Evolution Program (MEP) for trainees has proven its worth in shaping the technical management staff of the future.” In mid-2016, Knorr-Bremse set another milestone as an employer by opening its new Development Center in Munich. This leading-edge facility hosts 350 engineers and technicians working at cross-divisional level on new products and systems for rail and commercial vehicles. Here they have over 100 high-tech test benches and dynamometers as well as fully equipped, state-of-the-art laboratories at their disposal.
