As a large institution in the Hanseatic and university city of Rostock, the protestant Michaelshof Foundation is one of the oldest social institutions in the city and surrounding area.

The Michaelwerk division includes workshops, support groups and the vocational training area for disabled people.
More than 600 handicapped people work and learn there, primarily in the laundry, carpentry, assembly, mailing, gardening, kitchen, and stamp and sign production departments.

Customers include courts, colleges and universities, local authorities, ministries, banks, as well as private individuals.

Today, stamps at Michaelwerk are set using the CorelDraw graphics program, are engraved and cut on a Speedy 300 and a Speedy 100 laser engraving machine, and are then glued to the stamp body.
Even the finest details can now be engraved on the text plate.

The JobControl laser software supports this production, e.g. with an automated process and the "bar function".

At the same time, the laser enables the production of signs or the expansion of the range of laser engraving services.
