Armin joined SABEU in 2016 as a cutting machine operator. Today, he leads our Toolmaking department and, since August, has also been shaping the next generation as a trainer for our apprentices.
Driven by Precision and Passion
What motivates Armin? Precision, teamwork, and the magic of transforming raw metal into high-precision tool components.
A true technology enthusiast, he loves tinkering with cars or spending time with his family in the garden. Originally from Bosnia, Armin returned to Germany in 2016 - and found his way to SABEU by chance.
“It’s the perfect mix: a family-owned company with cutting-edge technology, short communication channels, and a great team spirit.”
Craftsmanship Meets Innovation
Together with his ten-person team, Armin manufactures tools for all SABEU business units - from innovative plastic solutions to cutting-edge medical technology.
He describes the toolmaking department as an “emergency room for tools”, where precision and timing are everything.
When a new tool is needed, the process begins with design and preparation: technical drawings and 3D models are created in CAD/CAM systems. Then, under Armin’s coordination, the designs come to life - through turning, CNC milling, grinding, and assembly. Every step demands accuracy, teamwork, and a steady hand.
Teamwork at Its Core
For Armin, trust and collaboration are the foundation of success.
“Competent, reliable, trustworthy — that’s how I’d describe my team. Everyone contributes something. A tool consists of many parts that must fit perfectly - just like a good team.”
Since August, Armin has also taken on the role of trainer for apprentices in toolmaking.
“It’s amazing to see how they grow, take responsibility, and gain confidence. I get to pass on my knowledge - and I learn a lot from them too.”
Currently, he mentors two apprentices training to become tool mechanics.
Looking Back - and Ahead
Reflecting on his time at SABEU, Armin recalls the move to the new production hall in 2018 as a defining milestone. “That was a real step forward — modern machines, more efficient workflows, but craftsmanship still lies at the heart of what we do.”
Thank you, Armin, for your passion, leadership, and contribution to SABEU’s continued growth and innovation!
