More than a job

What awaits you here.

01

Family, not a corporation

With us you're not just a number. Short lines of communication, management on equal footing – and reachable after hours if needed.

02

Never the same twice

Special machine building means: every project new, every machine different. "Never the same work, never boring."

03

Workshop – and the whole world

You work in the workshop and on-site at customers, from the Palatinate to overseas. In the end you see your bottle on the shelf.

04

Responsibility from day 1

Your own ideas are welcome – and you're allowed to disagree with the boss. Anyone who wants to can get the chance to make a difference.

05

Technology that's fun

Creo, 3D printing, PLC, state-of-the-art measurement and control technology. We stay at the cutting edge – and you grow with us.

06

Team & appreciation

Barbecues, asparagus dinners, Christmas parties – and a customer happy to say thanks with a good bottle. Plus: reliable, on-time pay.

Our values

What defines us.

Not slogans for the wall – but what you actually notice here day to day.

01

Togetherness

Here everyone pulls together. Anyone who gets stuck gets help – no need to ask twice. From apprentice to management.

"Teamwork, a real crew – and that's exactly what's great." — Jean-Marc, Industrial Mechanic

02

Appreciation

Wanting rather than having to. Good work gets noticed – from honest praise to reliable, on-time pay.

"I can rely 100% on being paid on time." — Linda Birk, Sales

03

Quality

Highest precision and robust machines that run for decades. Discipline and care – since the very first machine in 1990.

"Success comes only through quality and discipline." — Erwin Dages, Founder

Workshop & world

Workshop today,
at the customer tomorrow.

With us you're not stuck at one desk. You build and test in-house – then commission the machine at the customer's site, often in the largest wineries in Europe and worldwide.

This mix defines the job: hands-on technology, real responsibility and the good feeling when the line runs.

"You see the bottle on the shelf and know: that ran through our machine."

— Fabian Dages, Management

Values & history

From the cellar to
World market leader.

Kematec combines the stability of a family business with the drive of a technology leader. You help write this story.

Quality & discipline

Highest precision and robust machines that run for 20–30 years. You can rely on that – since the very first machine.

Family & togetherness

Short lines, first-name culture, shared celebrations. If you have a problem, you talk about it openly – even with the boss.

Customer at the centre

"The customer is king" is no empty phrase: we solve our customers' challenges with tailor-made technology.

1987

A fresh start

The company where Erwin Dages learns the world of cellar machinery goes bankrupt. Instead of giving up, he makes a decision: to do it better.

1990

Founded in a cellar

With the simplest of means, Kematec starts in the parents' cellar – and builds its first own machines.

2000s

World-beating

Patents for wiring, capsuling and energy-efficient drying, machines up to 35,000 bottles per hour: Kematec becomes the international market leader.

2021

Second generation

Fabian Dages takes on responsibility in management and drives digitalisation across all departments.

Today

Stayed a family

Machines in over 23 countries on four continents – and yet a family business with short lines where everyone counts.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

How does the application work?

Nice and simple: just fill in our short application form – a CV is enough, no cover letter needed. We'll get back to you personally very soon.

Do I need experience in special machine building?

No. Character, team spirit and a passion for technology matter more. Career changers are welcome – you'll learn the rest with us step by step.

How much will I travel?

It depends on the role. In service & assembly you switch between the workshop and customer assignments – across Europe and worldwide. Travel is fairly compensated.

Which languages should I bring?

German in any case. In sales, English and French are a big plus. In the workshop, your craft counts above all.

How quickly will I hear back?

Usually within a few days. We're a small team with short lines – no application bureaucracy.

Is there further training?

Yes. We stay technically up to date and train regularly, e.g. on Creo or control technology. Anyone who wants to can grow with us.
