Purchasing a MacBook and securing a job as a student at KSF Grill in Schorndorf
In a heartwarming turn of events, Sahan, a student who recently arrived in Germany to study Digital Marketing, has found a student job at KSF Grill Equipment GmbH, a renowned company specializing in high-quality grilling equipment and accessories for both professional and private use.
Sahan's journey began when he decided to purchase a used MacBook from someone associated with KSF Grill Equipment GmbH, based in Schorndorf, Cham district. To save on shipping costs, he chose to pick up the MacBook in person, which led to an encounter with the Sturz family, the owners of KSF Grill Equipment GmbH.
This encounter was described as a "sympathetic encounter" in a press release, and it paved the way for Sahan to join the KSF Grill Equipment GmbH team. After consulting with the managing director, Hans-Jürgen Piendl, Sahan started working as a student with the company in July.
Quality, innovation, and personal customer relationships are the focus at KSF Grill Equipment GmbH, and Sahan has been supporting the company since then. The company also announced that Sahan would gain international experience as a part of their team.
To help Sahan settle in, Manfred and Cordula Sturz, the owners of KSF Grill Equipment GmbH, invited him to an evening event and offered him an overnight stay. Sahan had arrived in Germany in May 2025 and had been exploring Bavaria while traveling to pick up the MacBook, thanks to his student ticket.
Sahan's first day at KSF Grill Equipment GmbH was not just about work. He helped in the garden the day after the encounter with the Sturz family, demonstrating his willingness to contribute beyond his job role. Manfred and Cordula Sturz even went as far as to pick up Sahan at the train station.
