Juyeong Kim
is a test engineer in South Korea who is enthusiastic about cutting-edge technology that makes life easier. If you want to watch over his shoulder while he is working, you should, however, bring ear protection and gloves. To test the quality of our drives under all conditions, he has to simulate extremes – for example, severe cold and blasting heat.

Albane Lloqanaj
is part of the production team working in the maxon clean room. The job offers a great deal of variety, but is also highly demanding. The sterile environment not only places high demands on the ventilation system but also on the equipment and, most importantly, on the personnel. Special training and utmost discipline are required to work in this environment. The work attire is vacuum-sealed and provided by a clean-room laundry service, and hygiene masks, hairnets, gloves, and antistatic shoes are mandatory. Furthermore, one must refrain from unconsciously touching their face, so that gloves can be promptly disinfected.
