The best praise for a traditional company like KPM Berlin? When the employees also get their partners on board. We proudly present: Sandra Schmidt and Josef Buljugic. An article from our WEISS Magazine No. 5.

At Sandra's workplace, Josef Buljugic and Sandra Schmidt show which centerpiece they have agreed on: the toad, which also stands in their living room and is often admired by visitors. It was one of the first pieces Sandra worked on.

In 2006, she began training as a porcelain painter at KPM Berlin and graduated in 2010 as the best in Germany. Since then, she has been bringing landscapes and other decorations to life on cups, vases and the like.

Josef, whom she met on New Year's Eve in 2010, admires her ability to tell stories with a paintbrush. He decided to join the long-established company in 2018. "When Josef joined the company, many employees already knew him and were delighted that he was now also part of KPM," Sandra recalls. They take their children to school and nursery in the morning and then drive to work together. The warehouse clerk takes care of the logistics surrounding the stock and online trading. In addition to the toad , he also has another favorite item: a mug that Sandra hand-painted for him with a personal motif.
