Auto 5000 GmbH is a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG.
Its production site is at Volkswagen Group
headquarters in Wolfsburg.
The rapid success story of Auto 5000 GmbH began in
Autumn 1999 with the project “5000 x 5000”
(5000 jobs at 5000DM).
Auto 5000 GmbH started out with the aim of proving
that it is possible in Germany to create new secure
jobs and, at the same time, build an internationally
competitive car. The subsequent success has proven
that the idea and Auto 5000 GmbH were right.
More than 750,000 Tourans have already
left the factory.
A decisive factor for the success is the close
networking of work and learning.
Consistent qualification and training of staff has even
been laid down in a separate qualification wage
agreement.
Inside the factory, there is a “learning factory” for
each area that serves as a learning and
communication centre and also gives staff the
opportunity to exchange experiences.
