Christina

Christina originally completed her apprenticeship as a weaver at Möbelstoff- und Plüschwerke Hohenstein-Ernstthal. After the company closed, she joined Spandauer Velours, where she worked in the warping department until 2016.

After leaving us for a short time, Christina returned in 2019 and started in the weaving department. There, she was initially responsible for using a frame to attach the new warps to the old ones and weave them in. Shortly thereafter, she switched to a traditional role as a weaver, but also serves as a substitute in the warping department.

In this role, she ensures the quality of the textiles is up to standard and monitors the production process and material flow. She resolves minor issues as needed through manual rework.

Christina says that working as a weaver is demanding and physically strenuous, requiring constant concentration, but that the job is also very varied. For her, it’s just right: Christina needs the physical activity, something to think about, and loves the
challenge. She enjoys her work, and the work atmosphere and collaboration with her colleagues are excellent.

But she isn’t the only one who has discovered a connection to textiles. Her son Christopher has also been working at our weaving mill since 2021. He started out as a weaver and now works as a production mechanic/foreman.
We are so glad, dear Christina, that you found your way to us and are part of our textile family—and we hope you’ll
stay with us for a long time to come.
