ABA = Alois Berger Azubis (trainees)

The training company

Established in 2009 at our Ottobeuren plant, ABA is a training company at Berger. Here, commercial and industrial trainees work together. You will learn to work independently, and with hands-on assignments through ABA, you will see how the business world functions. The ABA company carries out numerous activities, such as the yearly Christmas Market in Ottobeuren and the annual raffle for the Berger workforce. ABA also manufactures its own products during training workshops, e.g. shopping cart chips, salt shakers and ballpoint pens. These products are then sold, with the proceeds returned back to the ABA trainees, to fund various team building activities, or for charitable donations.
