Key Account Manager (m/f/d) (Key Account Manager/in)

TRADITION MEETS PROGRESS

The Hertin family is now running our family business, founded in 1822 in Balve, in its 4th generation, and has also established the internationally active Wocklum Gruppe. Our focus has always been, and remains, on sustainable growth, good working conditions, and taking responsibility for people in the region and the environment, rather than short-term stock market developments.

Chemische Fabrik Wocklum Gebr. Hertin GmbH & Co. KG (also known as "Chemie Wocklum" or "Wocklum Chemie") has remained loyal to the region and is today one of the major employers in Balve and the surrounding area. At the same time, we are active with another location in Oberhausen, in the heart of the Ruhr area. With our crisis-proof core business—the trading and recycling of basic chemicals—we are one of the leading chemical distributors in Germany. Furthermore, we are constantly driving proprietary developments, patents, and the field of contract manufacturing.

Continuing on our growth course, we are constantly looking for motivated and nice colleagues like you. Become part of our success story!
