Alzchem: Where careers start and grow
Have you seen it yet? The newly branded “Alzchem Bus” has been on the road since spring 2025. With its slogan “Your work. Your future. Our world,” it rolls through the region promoting the Trostberg-based company as an attractive employer. Next stop: Alzchem, so to speak!
But it's more than just a moving eye-catcher: it stands for what makes working there so special – team spirit, prospects, and real career opportunities. A good example of this is Melanie Grillparzer's career.
From trainee to trainer – Melanie's journey at Alzchem
Melanie began her training as an office communications clerk at Alzchem in September 2012 – without realizing how much this path would shape her life. After successfully completing her training in February 2015, she was hired as an assistant to the production manager in the fine chemicals division. In this role, she gained valuable insights into operational processes and further developed her organizational skills. From 2019 to the end of 2021, she also oversaw idea management at Alzchem – a task that showed her how much innovative power a company has when employees are actively involved.
In January 2022, Melanie found her calling: as a commercial trainer, she gets to accompany young people during one of the most important stages of their lives. She learns something new every day, has a lot of creative freedom, and is always excited about the unique personalities and challenges that each new apprenticeship brings.
Melanie is particularly proud to be actively involved in the further development of training at Alzchem—because there is no standing still there.
“What makes it special for me? The great team involved in training and the appreciative atmosphere at Alzchem. Flexible working hours, real development opportunities, and colleagues you can rely on – that's what corporate culture means to me,” says Melanie about her work.
