Welcome to the team!
The quality of our work is particularly important to us. We owe this not only to our customers—doing top-notch work is also much more enjoyable for us. At MHC Mobility, more than 300 experts in business, automotive technology, and IT are currently working on mobility solutions for our customers—an exciting professional environment, especially since so much is changing here right now. As a forward-looking company, we’re committed to social responsibility by investing in the skilled workers of tomorrow.
Eight new apprentices have now begun their training at MHC Mobility —at our locations in Bockel, Frankfurt, Dortmund, and Leipzig—in the fields of automotive mechatronics and office management. This brings the total number of trainees we are supporting on their path to a professional career to 21: 15 office management trainees and six aspiring automotive mechatronics technicians. Most of them are training at our headquarters in Bockel—where there are currently nine business and two technical trainees.
A team that paves the way
What matters to us: Behind every successful start is a team that cares. At our headquarters in Bockel, Melissa, Inga, Olimpia, and Eileen mentor the new business administration trainees. They come from sales, purchasing, reception, and logistics—and handle the training responsibilities in addition to their regular daily work. At our other locations and in the workshop, our trainees are also supported with great dedication by experienced colleagues from their respective teams.
The training team’s responsibilities go far beyond simply checking the report book on a regular basis: The trainers organize and attend career fairs, draft job postings, conduct interviews, supervise interns and trial workdays, and regularly check in with the trainees. They also provide support with school assignments and exam preparation—preferably using real-world examples. There’s a particularly heavy workload during the application phase and at the start of the training program in the summer. Just as important: they’re there when trainees feel uncertain or when things aren’t quite running smoothly. After all, even for young people and those just starting their careers, things don’t always go according to plan.
Focus on Variety
The training program places a strong emphasis on variety. It is important to us that our trainees gain as broad a foundation as possible and are prepared for a wide range of job roles. During their apprenticeship, all trainees rotate through the company’s core departments. They can explicitly express their preference for certain departments, and many find the area that best suits their interests and strengths through this process.
At our company, responsibility doesn’t start only after the final exam: Our trainees take on their own projects early on, such as organizing Boys’ Day and Girls’ Day. Those who want to look beyond their own location can gain hands-on experience at another MHC Mobility location as part of a trainee exchange program. Once a year, all trainees from across our locations also come together for a joint trainee event. And because the best way to learn collaboration is through dialogue, feedback plays a key role here: both positive and constructive feedback are taken seriously and discussed together—in both directions.
Perspective and Cohesion
The results show that our training program has a lasting impact: Many of our trainees complete their training early, and their final grades average better than a 2.4. Above all, however, this is evident when we look at our employees: Numerous colleagues began their careers with us as trainees and have remained loyal to the company to this day. The best example works in our sales department: Hans-Peter Ringen once completed his training with us—and has now been with us for over 50 years. For us, this is a clear sign of long-term prospects and team spirit. And this consistency also pays off for our customers, for example in the high quality of advice and service provided by our employees.
We look forward to actively supporting our new apprentices on their journey—and to shaping the future of mobility together with them. A warm welcome to our eight new recruits: We’re glad you’re here!

Each of our locations has its own unique history—and is shaped above all by the people who work there.
We share these stories on our blog. This time, we’re heading to Großbeeren, just outside Berlin. Branch Manager Christian Cordts talks about a location that the team built up together.
MHC Mobility Berlin – Growing Together
Our story began around 2015 in Berlin-Marzahn. Back then, we started out under the name “Maske” with just a few vehicles and three colleagues at a partner workshop. So while the conditions back then were rather modest, our plans and the team’s motivation were all the greater. In 2017, we moved to Großbeeren, our current location. I was there from the very beginning and helped shape the setup right from the start. Together, we made sure that, step by step, the new space became a fully functional facility.
As early as the fall of 2017, the team gained new members: Kai Zilger took on office duties, Tobias Schwabe joined as an automotive mechatronics technician, and Mathias Wegner handled vehicle reconditioning. More colleagues and temporary staff followed. As the team grew, so did the equipment. Lifting platforms, workshop stations, and a dedicated vehicle preparation area were added.
Team spirit was great right from the start: Many colleagues already knew each other from previous jobs or through personal connections. Positive experiences were shared, and new team members were personally recommended. Over the years, this has resulted in a team that can rely on one another and works together. Today, twelve colleagues work at the site. We are a small, close-knit team with flat hierarchies and a strong sense of camaraderie.
We keep a lot of things here at home.
Our goal is to complete as much work as possible right on-site. Our workshop team handles minor repairs themselves. We also handle vehicle detailing and decal application in-house in Großbeeren. There’s always plenty going on: Every month, we handle around 250 to 350. Workshop orders on average, and prepare about 40 new vehicles for delivery. In addition , we handle spontaneous customer inquiries, to which we respond as quickly and flexibly as possible.
We also cover a large area logistically. Our full-time driver regularly travels throughout the entire region. Some trips take him as far as the Baltic Sea, and occasionally even as far as Poland. What makes our location special?
It’s clear: the team. Many of us have helped build this location from the very beginning. We know the history, the challenges, and the little stories that make Großbeeren our shared workplace.
Our customers are our top priority.
We are MHC Mobility Leipzig
Each of our nine locations tells its own story
Characterized by people, courage and daily interaction. In our blog, we take a look behind the scenes and reveal how our locations became what they are today. This time we look at Leipzig.
MHC Mobility Leipzig – From shell to team location
Our branch manager Lars Steinert also demonstrates how strongly our employees are connected to the locations. When he set up the location from July 2017, this is to be understood literally. Laying tiles, painting walls, designing rooms – Steinert lent a hand in many places.
Support came early on: Dominique Kietura joined the team a few weeks later as a mechanic and also helped with the conversion. He is still part of the team today. Doors were moved, walls were rethought – the location was designed according to the needs of the team, not the other way around.
The big milestone followed in October: the first vehicle was parked and operations began.
In between, Lars Steinert gained experience at other locations, including Bockel, Munich and Nuremberg. He brought this knowledge back to Leipzig – and had a lasting impact on the success of the branch.
Three generations, one team
Leipzig still has a special history today:
Lars Steinert is joined by his father Romeo as a driver and his son Luca, who is completing his training as a vehicle mechatronics technician here. Three generations, united in one workplace.
Everyone is aware that private and professional matters cannot always be separated. But the positive experiences clearly outweigh the negative ones. Trust, responsibility and cohesion are not just buzzwords here, but part of everyday life.
“There’s no such thing as can’t”
What drives Lars? Clearly: the team.
In Leipzig, the motto is “There’s no such thing as can’t”. Around 50 firmly planned customer appointments per month are the basis. At the same time, there is room for spontaneity: requests at short notice are accepted and flexible solutions are found. If necessary, even with replacement vehicles – so that customers remain mobile.
This flexibility is no coincidence, but the result of clear processes, short distances and mutual reliability. This is also particularly important to the team.
The location today – compact and always ready
Today, 16 colleagues work in various areas in Leipzig.
Looking ahead
Resting on your laurels? Not an option in Leipzig! One wish for the future has already been clearly formulated: an in-house car wash at the site. Practical thinking – for even more efficient processes and shorter distances.
And so the Leipzig site demonstrates particularly well what MHC Mobility stands for:
initiative, team spirit and the will to find customer-centric solutions – even if things don’t go according to plan.
Our all-rounder between purchasing, training and fleet management
Briefly introduced
Inga Frömmrich – our all-rounder between purchasing, training and fleet management
At MHC Mobility, the focus is not only on vehicles, but above all on the many dedicated colleagues who fill our company with life every day. Take Inga Frömmrich, for example: she ensures smooth purchasing, organizes fleet management and looks after the training of our young talents. But it’s best if she introduces herself.
Organizational talent with an eye for the big picture
Hi, I’m Inga Frömmrich, 23 years old and I started my career at MHC Mobility in August 2019 with an apprenticeship, which I completed in January 2022. Immediately afterwards, I switched to Purchasing. Today, I combine several areas of responsibility that make my day-to-day work particularly varied.
No two days are the same
That’s exactly what I like about my job: the tasks are varied and there are always new topics that land on the table.
A large part of my work is currently in purchasing. One thing is particularly important there: maintaining an overview. The automotive industry is fast-moving, processes have to run smoothly and many steps are interlinked. I buy vehicles, make sure they are registered or deregistered, maintain systems and support many organizational processes. There are also evaluations, checking orders and invoices as well as traditional orders.
I also find it particularly exciting that I have a lot of internal customers from my colleagues, especially from Sales and Fleet Coordination. This means that I work with different departments every day and am active at many interfaces within the company.
Responsibility for our young professionals
I am also a trainer for office management. This also makes my day-to-day work much more varied.
My tasks include job interviews, onboarding and supporting our trainees and interns. I also organize our Future Day.
This role as a trainer in particular has noticeably changed my day-to-day work in recent years. At the same time, the requirements in Purchasing have also changed, for example due to adapted Group guidelines. It is precisely this mixture of structure, responsibility and variety that makes my day-to-day work particularly exciting for me.
What makes MHC Mobility special for me
I really enjoy the shared experiences in the team, such as Christmas parties and various team-building evenings in a small group of colleagues.
There are also great benefits: capital-forming benefits, an annual team-building budget of 50 euros at your free disposal, the JobRad and company health promotion.
Looking ahead
When I think about the development of the automotive industry, I find one question in particular exciting: how will we be on the road in the coming years or even decades? I am curious to see how electromobility and alternative drive systems will develop.
At the same time, I am fascinated by our customized individual offers – especially special installations for trade or passenger transport. These show just how versatile our approach to mobility is.
And my dream car? If I could choose freely, it would be a flying car – like in Harry Potter.
Conclusion
What I like about my job is that it is so varied and I can combine different areas. Purchasing, fleet management and training work are directly intertwined in my job.
I have turned my hobby into my profession
Office, on-board computer and St. Bernard: working at MHC Mobility
At MHC Mobility, the focus is not only on vehicles – but also on the people who move them. And that applies to both customers and employees. Like our colleague Anna Krause, for example: she ensures that vehicles are perfectly prepared for the road – and combines her passion for cars with a real hands-on mentality. But it’s best to hear it for yourself.
Between wrench and desk
Hi, I’m Anna Krause, or just Anna to most of my colleagues – fleet coordinator at MHC Mobility and someone who has always been passionate about cars. You could say that I have turned my hobby into my profession.
I started at MHC Mobility in January 2017 – back then as a trained sign and illuminated sign maker. My first job was labeling and wrapping vehicles. From 2019, I took on tasks in preparation. And I’ve been working in fleet coordination since 2021.
What’s cool about it? I know the processes from the ground up. From the first sticker to handing over the keys.
My job is the perfect mix of office and workshop – 50/50, just the way I like it. I accept new vehicles and returns from customers, check accessories, coordinate the workshop, appraisals, cleaning and special equipment. And of course I know which vehicle is in which parking lot.
I’m also a key user for our vehicle app – I’m the first point of contact if there’s a problem with the technical system on the tablet.
My highlight? Clearly our team
We work closely with the workshop, purchasing and sales departments – and team events such as Christmas parties or team-building activities are always a highlight. We don’t just plan and tinker, we also laugh a lot.
What is important to me? Honesty! For example, if someone bumps into me when parking, I tell them openly. It’s no big deal as long as nobody tries to make a scratch “invisible”.
Work & leisure – balance is a must
When I have time off, you’ll usually find me out in the fresh air on a walk by the lake with my two giant St. Bernards and my husband. Or a round of sport at home – exercise is always a good idea.
And yes, I have a dream car. An Audi RS7. After all, a little fun is a must. And if you’re wondering what’s playing in the background when I quickly move a car: Bremen Next, of course.
Conclusion
I love being in the middle of the action – between cars, teams, technology and customers. And I appreciate that MHC Mobility offers opportunities for further development. Nobody stands still here. That’s exactly what I like.
Christin’s career path at MHC Mobility
New rooms, same energy
Christin Kersten has been part of MHC Mobility since 2018 – and her development at our company is impressive. After starting in sales, she moved to sales controlling and later to credit management, where she now holds responsibility as deputy head of department. Her career is an example of how professional development and team spirit shape success at MHC Mobility.
Further training with added value for everyone
In 2021/2022, Christin graduated as a Certified Credit Controller – further training that gave her in-depth insights into balance sheet analysis, legal frameworks and industry comparisons. In May 2023, she also successfully completed her further training to become a Certified Credit Manager. MHC Mobility provided her with comprehensive support – with financial support, flexible working hours and real backing from the team.
“It was an intensive but incredibly rewarding time,” reports Christin. “I can now use my knowledge in a targeted way to precisely assess risks, identify opportunities and develop tailored solutions for our customers together with the sales team.”
New location, familiar cooperation
In May 2024, Christin moved the center of her life from Bockel to Bochum for personal reasons – and thus also professionally from the branch in the north to the Dortmund office. MHC Mobility facilitated this move smoothly, and the new team welcomed her with open arms from day one.
“It was as if I had always been here. The openness and family atmosphere in Dortmund made the transition effortless,” she enthuses. Whether it’s a barbecue together, team-building events or simply a spontaneous chat in between – for Christin, the interpersonal interaction is just as valuable as the professional expertise.
Working with a strategic vision
Your tasks in credit management are multifaceted: credit checks, comprehensive analyses, international coordination with colleagues in Germany, the UK and Japan – always with an eye on the current economic environment.
“Every customer brings individual challenges, every request requires a customized approach. That’s what makes my job so exciting.” With the in-depth knowledge she has gained from her further training, Christin can anticipate market developments at an early stage and make strategically sound decisions – an advantage that benefits both the company and its customers.
Work-life balance as a success factor
On her days off, Christin likes to get active with sport, then enjoy a relaxed, late breakfast, immerse herself in a good book and cook healthy meals. “That’s how I recharge my batteries for all challenges – both professional and personal.”
Christin’s career makes it clear that anyone who shows initiative and takes on responsibility at MHC Mobility will not only receive targeted support, but will also find a working environment that emphasizes genuine team spirit and personal development.
We are MHC Mobility
A company is more than the sum of its parts. Each of our locations has its own personal history and stories. We present these in our blog section. Told by our colleagues on site. We start with Corinna Kuhn, Head of the MHC Mobility Center Dortmund. A location characterized by team spirit and pioneering spirit.
MMC Dortmund – More than just a workplace
Sometimes big stories start very small – ours in Dortmund started about ten years ago in a Volvo dealership in Hattingen. One desk, 15 vehicles and me, Corinna Kuhn, working as an all-rounder at the time. We soon realized: We needed more space to grow. We found what we were looking for in a former DEKRA station in Dortmund. We moved in with 15 cars and a lot of start-up spirit. Job interviews were held on crates of drinks, but the enthusiasm was still great. Many of these first colleagues are still with us today. As are many of our initial customers.
We then officially opened in 2017 – our “baby”, as our then boss Andreas Maske said at the time. 15 vehicles quickly became over 150, pioneering work turned into pilot projects for the whole of Maske: mobile wheel changes, “care takers” at the customer’s premises – always with the motto “making everything possible”.
The takeover by Hitachi and the merger with Mitsubishi in 2021 marked the start of an exciting new chapter for the team: MHC Mobility! We were able to contribute ideas for the new building in Dortmund, and even my private sketches – drawn together with my father – were incorporated into the design.
Today, we are 30 colleagues working with state-of-the-art equipment and a very special highlight: our customer waiting area with a view of the workshop. Here you can experience service work up close. This also shows how important transparency is to us. After all, we are proud of our “job home” and are happy to show it off.
Finn’s career path at MHC Mobility
Controlling with vision
After working in credit management and sales controlling, Finn took over the newly created Corporate Controlling department in November 2023 – with the clear aim of fundamentally redesigning this area. “I’m completely rebuilding it,” he explains. “We are using modern software and innovative approaches to bring data to life and make it accessible – for management and all departments.” It’s about much more than just tables: Finn provides reliable forecasts, supports strategic corporate planning and creates transparency for well-founded decisions.
Cross-divisional projects in which he analyzes and optimizes processes and closely integrates controlling with other areas of the company are also an important part of his work.
Team player with an instinct for numbers
He particularly appreciates working with colleagues from a wide range of departments: “It brings variety and makes the work really exciting.” A real highlight: handing over the first fully self-developed, interactive reporting system to management. “The feedback was: ‘This really helps us move forward. This is exactly what makes the effort worthwhile.”
More than numbers: Finn private
Even during his training, Finn went the extra mile – with an additional qualification as a European businessman and a stay of several weeks at the MHC site in Austria. He also likes to step on the gas in his private life: whether on his motorcycle, out in nature with his family or volunteering with the fire department. “This is the perfect balance for me – and a real matter of the heart.” His dream car? The Porsche Taycan – Electric, powerful and forward-looking. Just like his job.
Thank you, Finn, for your commitment and your ability to see the big picture. It’s great that you’re part of the team!
Six years, one team, many successes
More than just words
Insights into management and everyday life At MHC Mobility since 2016, Christian Bremer provides exciting insights into his work as head of department.
How did you join MHC Mobility and how has your career developed?
My path to MHC Mobility was rather unconventional. On the recommendation of my handball teammate Carsten Gruschka, who works in the workshop, I joined as a dispatcher on May 1, 2016. I was then promoted to Head of Department in 2021. I am particularly proud of the fact that my office team with Eileen and Wilko has been working together unchanged since 2016. This continuity shows how well we harmonize as a team.
What does a typical working day look like for you?
My everyday life is varied. In day-to-day business, I coordinate vehicle deliveries and collections. I also deal with personnel issues, higher-level orders such as trucks and coordinating processes with other departments. I manage a large team of 25 mini-jobbers, 4 full-time truck drivers and 2 other office staff. What makes me particularly happy is that everyone is motivated, takes responsibility and works very independently.
What do you particularly like about your job?
My team definitely comes first! We have a lot of fun at work and the team spirit is truly unique. I became particularly aware of this when I moved home: without having to ask specifically, some colleagues spontaneously offered to help. That really touched me and shows that our team is like a family in which trust is very important. This solidarity also says a lot about our company. With its employee-oriented corporate culture, MHC Mobility creates the conditions for us to feel so comfortable here. I also appreciate the working hours with weekends off.
How would you describe your management style?
I cultivate a cooperative management style and focus on working at eye level. I see myself as a team member and not as an aloof boss. I am convinced that it is precisely this attitude that promotes the strong team spirit that we have in our department.
How do you spend a day off?
I prefer to spend my free time with my family. I like to go on relaxed outings with my wife and our son, for example to the zoo. We also like to travel. I used to go cycling a lot – once I even went to Amsterdam for a week.
A career with heart
Designing what really counts
Focusing on people, actively supporting change and growing together
1. from biochemist to HR pioneer – how did it come about?
My path was anything but straightforward. I started out in the lab with a degree in biochemistry, but my passion for people led me into the world of HR. A willingness to change and courage were crucial – I firmly believe that lifelong learning is the key to success.
2. how would you describe your management style and what is important to you in dealing
Particularly important with employees? For me, authenticity and honesty are paramount. Open feedback is essential, as this is the only way we can grow together. Transparency is another important principle: I share information willingly because I am convinced that this leads to the best results.
3. how do you see the future of HR?
The future will be flexible. We need to find solutions that do justice to the different life phases of our employees – from
training to retirement. The continuous development of our managers will also be crucial, as they play a key role in
employee retention.
4 What role does digitalization play in your day-to-day work?
My motto is: as much digitalization as possible for more personal contact. Digitalization creates freedom and allows us to focus on what is important – the people. One example of this is our digital applicant management system, which makes the process more efficient and transparent.
5. how do you spend a day off?
For me, a day off means adventure and discovery. I love exploring new places – be it on a hike in the countryside or a city trip with culinary highlights. These experiences give me fresh ideas and perspectives that I can incorporate into my everyday working life.
