For 140 years, Steinbach & Vollmann (STUV) has been one of the leading medium‑sized companies in the lock, security and hardware industry. Our company is centrally located between the cities of Essen, Düsseldorf and Wuppertal. With over 170 employees at our headquarters in Germany and sales companies in Spain and China, we serve both local and international markets.
Our main customers are in industry and public authorities. We supply innovative mechanical and electronic solutions for renowned industrial customers, e.g. for aircraft, machines, the food industry, cold storage rooms, trains and safes. In the field of correctional facilities, we are the market and innovation leader for high‑security locks used in German‑speaking countries.
Our business model is future‑proof and has great growth potential. We have big plans for the coming years. We want to significantly expand our market share both nationally and internationally and are therefore looking to strengthen our team.
As of 1 August 2025, we are looking for a student for the dual study programme in Mechatronic Systems according to the KIS or KIA model at our Heiligenhaus location for Steinbach & Vollmann GmbH and its sister company, STUV Prison Solutions GmbH.
In cooperation with the Bochum University of Applied Sciences, Heiligenhaus Campus, STUV offers cooperative engineering training and, optionally, cooperative engineering studies in the field of mechatronic systems with a bachelor's degree.
