An exchange across borders

“I hoped to gain insights into the Group's marketing world through the exchange and to benefit from this in my day-to-day job. And I like discovering new places, new things and new people.

On the first day, I learnt the Swiss greeting “Grüezi“ – and used it on the street. You don't do that here in Lithuania.

The people in Rapperswil-Jona gave me a very warm welcome. The team is much bigger than in Nordic Marketing. I couldn't remember all the names.

I learnt a lot of new things in the field of piping systems in Switzerland, especially as my previous knowledge was really limited. One of the highlights was filming the new Silent-Pro SuperTube system in Vienna. I was impressed by how an outstanding result was achieved with a small team.“

“I was hoping to do and experience something new. I wanted to see a larger market and gain a deeper insight into this work. I also wanted to experience new product areas and get to know the people in the Nordics region better.

When I arrived, it was raining in Denmark – and it wouldn't stop. The people gave me a very warm welcome. They helped me to find my way around and looked after me, even when it was storming outside.

In Denmark, I looked particularly closely at the bathroom series sector and learnt a lot of new things about this product world. I also worked with tools that the markets use. This helps me to process marketing material even more specifically.“
