Trainee Logistics and Lean Management

At SIGA, we strive for a world where buildings do not waste energy. SIGA produces a completely airtight, energy-efficient building envelope made of high-quality membranes, sealing tapes, and sealants, which are distributed worldwide. Today, more than 650 employees in 23 countries work to realise this vision.
In the Manufacturing sector, we ensure that our customers receive the required products in the highest quality, at optimal costs, and with a minimal ecological footprint at the desired time. 

Every tenth working day, our daily business pauses and we further optimise our processes to become even better. We continuously develop processes to efficiently serve international markets and ensure smooth logistics.
