Our employees testify

We collaborate with our Marketing and Sales counterparts to align the forecast with the latest commercial ambitions and to keep the customer at the forefront of decision making. We work through robust data analysis to validate our forecast proposal. After a month of collaboration and analysis, the story to support the forecast comes together, and the forecast is validated with region staff before it is submitted to the Business Line for final review. As a key user for our forecasting system, I also have the opportunity to work with members of our forecasting team to develop process improvement solutions.

"Michelin is a part of my life! Michelin has already taken me to many places, opened up many possibilities for me, so that I can identify myself with my job. That motivates me every day to give my best".

"Michelin is like a big family. There is a cohesion that I have never experienced before. I am very proud of my development at Michelin and it really is a lot of fun to work here and with a great team, to move a lot of things successfully forward."

"I was once invited to dinner with a customer. It was about a new fair, which should take place in the Allgäu, an agricultural show. And while we were discussing the event, he said to me: "If you come as a Michelin man, it's worth an extra order of tyres to me". "How many?," I asked. "About 40 to 50 additional agricultural tyres. I didn't have to be told twice and ordered the costume from our prop room that we have there for stock. During the agricultural show I stood the whole day in the costume and had fun with the children. It was incredibly hot in this thing, but time flew by and everyone had a lot of fun. And the customer? He paid his betting debts and actually placed the additional order!"

Motivation, sociability and fun at work are very important criteria for me for a successful job at Michelin. Whether customer, daily challenges or working with colleagues - everything is fun here! With the right commitment and the right motivation, you can go a long way at Michelin and get many opportunities.

I currently work in Confection Finishing on the tire building machine operator (PAP) building earthmover tires. This particular machine combines materials from another department to start building the sidewall of the tire.

I am currently working in the Training Department as a mentor. My responsibility is to assist in the training of new hires that are assigned to work on the production machines. Over the course of several weeks I help them learn and understand the basics of tire building including our company’s expectations regarding safety and quality. After they are assigned to a crew and an individual trainer it becomes my responsibility to help assess their progress towards the goal of certification.
