This year the Sponsors Cup of SV Darmstadt 98 took place for the 12th time. Altogether 10 teams played for the popular challenge cup.
The Donges SteelTec team took part in the competition for the first time and was highly motivated. The Donges footballers were cheered on by their colleagues. In the end, they were delighted with their 7th place and one thing was clear for everyone: being there and being together in sport is the most important thing.
We build with steel and would like to pass on our passion for this material. As of 01st September 2020, we are looking for apprentices to become Construction Mechanics and technical Systemplanners.
We have been building steel bridges and manufacturing innovative steel structures for over 140 years. Each construction is individual and a small masterpiece. Our trainees can expect a great team that cope with a wide range of tasks. We plan, develop, construct, complete and assemble architecturally demanding steel projects.
Our junior staff awaits a versatile and high-quality training. We demand and encourage and, of course, offer attractive and fair pay. Company training projects and an extensive training program come on top.
Here you can find more information about our two training paths.

Donges SteelTec celebrated a special summer party in the company’s history on August 30th in glorious sunshine.
The members of the works council had invited all employees and their families as well as retired former colleagues to a summer party in the company courtyard. With suckling pig, Argentinian steaks and cool drinks, all guests had ample opportunity to exchange memories of joint projects and to inform themselves about current production orders during a workshop tour. For the children, a large bouncy castle and a painting table were specially organised as a pastime.
The two managing directors, Johannes Laumann and Peter Brechtelsbauer, together with the chairman of the works council, Ercan Kaya, welcomed the two guests of honour: the former owner of the company, Rainer Müller-Donges, and the long-standing managing director, Dr. Volker Adam. They also took the opportunity to present the newly formed Donges Group. Representatives of the partner companies Kalzip and FDT had travelled from Koblenz and Mannheim to the celebration and could inform themselves locally about the new parent company.
It was a carefree and very talk intensive afternoon. And certainly, the family celebration also brought the Donges company family a little closer together.
Dr. Peter Schäfer, Production Manager of Donges SteelTec GmbH, calls the acquisition of the two new double-girder gantry cranes, which were commissioned on schedule on June 26, “An important investment in the future of our bridge and building construction production”.
The lifting capacity in the former lightweight hall will be increased by the two cranes from 2 * 10 to 4 x 20 tons, so that components with unit weights of up to 80 tons can be produced. The company thus has expanded production capacities for heavy bridge and steel building constructions at its disposal.
The cranes have already successfully passed the first test in the production of the “Stokkumer Straße Emmerich” bridge. The next application will be for the components for the bridge structure “A1 left bank of the Rhine”.
On March 28, eight students spent a day at Donges SteelTec as part of the nationwide Girls’ and Boys’ Day and gained their first insights into working life.
The young people were first allowed to construct their initials on the computer in our technical office and then later spray the letters burnt out of steel sheets with color according to their own taste. They also got to know the various departments in administration, assembly and our bridge and building construction divisions. For the young people, the day ended with a stay in our production department, where they were able to experience first-hand the production and processing of large steel structures for bridge and building construction projects.
“For many years, we have enjoyed using this day to give interested young people an understanding of the many career opportunities offered by our steel construction company,” commented Joachim Abt, Training Manager at Donges SteelTec.
