Climbing for inclusion

Inclusion doesn’t end at the workplace — and neither does Susanne Waltje’s commitment. At MeKo, Susanne is our head of production in the Nitinol department. Outside of work, she volunteers as a certified trainer with the German Alpine Club (DAV Hannover), supporting a climbing group that brings together people with varied abilities and backgrounds, all united by the joy of movement and shared achievement.

Her role is hands-on. Sometimes that means guiding movements step by step; sometimes it means giving someone the confidence to try a new grip. What stays constant is the trust she builds — and the way she helps others discover what they’re capable of.

The support and encouragement she brings to the climbing wall also shape the way she works with our Nitinol team. It’s the kind of mindset that strengthens collaboration and makes a difference in everyday work.

Thank you, Susanne, for your commitment to inclusive sports and the impact you create both within MeKo and far beyond.
