From May 7 to 8, 2025, STOCKO CONTACT was once again successfully represented at the Electrical Wire Processing Technology Expo (EWPTE) at the Baird Center in Milwaukee, USA. The trade fair, one of the leading platforms for professionals from the wire processing and connector technology industry, provided an ideal opportunity to present our latest innovations to an international audience.
EWPTE 2025 attracted over 3,000 trade visitors from 25 countries and 40 US states. Nearly 200 exhibitors showcased their products and services on an exhibition area of around 4,645 square meters. For STOCKO CONTACT, this was the perfect stage to present our innovations in the areas of crimp contacts, connectors, and fully automated processing solutions.
The direct exchange with customers, partners, and industry experts on site not only provided valuable insights into current market needs, but also confirmed the continuing high level of interest in high-quality connection technologies.
We would like to thank all visitors for the many inspiring discussions and look forward to incorporating the ideas gained into future projects and partnerships.

A look back at exciting days in Hellenthal, Wuppertal and Köln.
Our trainee project week this year offered Wieland's trainees the opportunity to develop their skills in various projects and activities and gain insights into the company. The week began with a reception in Hellenthal, followed by a company presentation and a tour of the modern STOCKO production buildings. Here, trainees were able to observe the complex production steps for manufacturing the connectors in large quantities and for various industries. The project work was then presented and the participants rounded off the first evening with dinner together.
The following days focussed on some project work. The trainees worked intensively on their varied tasks and were inspired by creative team-building activities such as an escape room and a joint trip to the lake.
Another highlight of the week was a visit to our headquarters in Wuppertal, followed by a tour through Cologne. Here, the trainees were given an insight into various areas of the company and were able to exchange ideas with their colleagues on site.
The closing event took place on the Friday. The trainers from Wieland joined the trainees for a joint tour of the company and a presentation of the project work. In the evening, the successful project week was celebrated with a meal together.
The week ended on the Saturday with a hike through the idyllic surroundings of Hellenthal and a relaxed breakfast. We would like to thank everyone involved and look forward to the next exciting projects!
We are delighted to welcome eight talented young people to our family of companies. An apprenticeship is an exciting journey full of opportunities and challenges, and we are thrilled to give our new trainees the start signal for their professional future.
For our new trainees, 15 August 2024 marked the start of an exciting chapter in their professional development. We would like to introduce you to our committed and motivated young talents:
from left to right: Joris Jansen, Ben Wiegmann, Damon Kemmerer, Simon Schlemmer, Kira Kosbab, Jonas Reiners, Oliver Krämer, Lars Jenniches
The morning began with a warm introduction by Ms Haas, Commercial Director, and Mr Geschwind, Mr Miller, Mr Schmitz and Mr Steffens (training managers), who gave the new trainees an overview of our company and introduced them to our corporate culture. Our new trainees were also welcomed to our event by our works council chairman, Mr Gross, and the youth and trainee representative, Mr Jäger. As a little gimmick to mark the occasion, they received a "welcome bag" with some useful accessories.
For the rest of the day, they were mainly accompanied by Mr Schmitz. After a brief presentation of the company history, current facts and figures about the company and an introduction to the STOCKO product range, the trainees were taken on a tour of our specialist departments, where they were given a first insight into our operational processes and were able to meet the respective department heads. Our new trainees were then given an interesting initial training course in quality management from Mr Steffens.
A lunch taken together provided the opportunity for our trainees to get to know each other better and make initial contacts. Sharing stories, expectations and plans created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in which everyone could feel at ease. In the afternoon, our new trainees received their work clothing and were able to spend their first few hours in their respective departments. They threw themselves into their new tasks with great curiosity and enthusiasm and have already shown their commitment and motivation. Entering a professional career is an important step and we attach great importance to qualified training and, of course, to motivated trainees. At STOCKO, trainees can expect a wide range of courses, internal training and a very good working atmosphere.
We wish the new recruits a successful start and an exciting, informative time at STOCKO!
STOCKO CONTACT took part in electronica at the New International Expo Centre (Shanghai) on 8 - 10 july 2024.
Electronica China is one of the most important trade fairs for the electronics industry in Asia. STOCKO CONTACT, a future-orientated company in the connector industry, with headquarters in Germany, took part in the trade fair with its products and devices. The ECO-TRONIC PL, ECO-TRONIC IMS, ECO-TRONIC FB und S-LINX 1.27 D series of connectors were among the products on show.
At the same time, STOCKO also exhibited the matching semi-automatic processing technology for insulation displacement connections - WT365. The demonstration of the machine by engineers showed off the performance and efficiency of the WT 365, while presentations of application examples also led to many visitor contacts at Electronica Shanghai.
The STOCKO CONTACT team would like to thank the many visitors who came and for the many interesting discussions held with them.
On Friday, 21 June 2024, we bade farewell to our trainees who successfully passed their final exams. Four trainees successfully completed their training in three different occupations. During a small ceremony, the TRAINEES were congratulated by representatives of the management, the trainers and a representative of the works council on successfully passing their final exams in June 2024.
All four young employees were taken on by STOCKO after completing their training.
The trainees gave their all and can be very satisfied with their results. In addition to recognising this achievement, the graduates were presented with their training certificates and a small gift as a thank you. The graduates were delighted with the socket spanner set.
Graduates with a grade of "good" and "very good" also receive a bonus in recognition of their achievements.
Exam graduates:
Timo Bornewasser, Process Mechanic for Plastics and Rubber Technology
Robin Kemmerer, Process Mechanic for Plastics and Rubber Technology

An exciting challenge for the STOCKO trainees.
In order to strengthen the cooperation and team spirit between our two training workshops in Andlau and Hellenthal, this year the instructors are once again taking up their joint "toggle press" project. The French TRAINEES are now able to visit and familiarise themselves with the Hellenthal site.
The individual parts assigned by the instructors were manufactured in advance at both locations and joined together to form smaller assemblies. Brief consultations and reports on the progress of the respective work were exchanged.
Trainees Niklas Michlok, Simon Neuß and Lennart Schenk (2nd year tool mechanic apprentices) are now also faced with the task of completing a toggle press from the previously manufactured individual parts.
To this end, the French trainees, Alexis Spaety and Lucas Tronet, travelled with their instructor, Mr Rosenblatt, to our STOCKO plant in Hellenthal for 2 days in June 2024.
There was a factory tour as a nice supporting programme. The trainees were thus able to see the various production areas in Hellenthal and get to know our apprentices from the industrial sector and make new acquaintances.
The individual parts and smaller assemblies were then put together, customised, screwed, drilled and pinned in Hellenthal. Finally, the finishing touches were added.
The result of the cooperation is certainly worth seeing! The workpiece will remain in Hellenthal this year and can be used in the training workshop for smaller pressing and joining jobs.
The fact that the work results of the training workshops repeatedly find their way into the production areas and laboratories in order to prove their suitability for practical use is an additional incentive. Of course, it should not be a one-off event or a one-way street. A continuous exchange is the common goal.
"The project was varied and encouraged teamwork. We all had a lot of fun."
