Kristofer-Ott’s Success Story

Kristofer-Ott started at Metaprint as an intern in 2010 - at the end of his first year of studies at the Tallinn University of Applied Sciences. As he specialized in Machine Building, our Engineering and Technical Department was well-suited for his internship. When it came to launching the new can production line in Tallinn with higher production capacity, Kristofer-Ott provided excellent assistance to our engineers. From then on he interned with us every summer, until 2013. Kristofer-Ott’s thesis ‘Designing a Side Feeder for a Coating Line’ was written on the example of Metaprint, with the goal to design a new side feeder for the printing and coating line. After completing his military service in summer 2014 and up until the graduation of his master’s studies at Tallinn University of Technology, he continued to work part-time. He is currently working at Metaprint as a Production Engineer. He finds his everyday responsibilities diverse and interesting as they involve designing and managing processes as well as mechanical design and engineering work. He appreciates his supportive colleagues and finds the work that he does versatile as he can work both in the office and in the production unit. For young people interested in working in the field of manufacturing or engineering, he recommends keeping an open mind when considering mechanics, electronics or information technology.
