In the production facilities, the company celebrated its anniversary with German-speaking customers and business partners at Kitzingen, Germany. The special occasion was completed with interesting lectures, exciting discussions, delicious BBQ and a few beer. The conference part covered the topics smelting, metallurgy, metal scrap analysis and innovative service. The presentations were held by Dr. Wolfgang Knothe (Franken Guss GmbH), Tobias Manka (TCT Induktionstechnik GmbH), Oliver Schmitz (pour-tech), Klaus Stinzig (INRO Rohstoffhandel GmbH) and Ingolf Temme (Ingolf Temme Consulting). After the lectures, pour-tech AB’s employees prepared a surprise to the founders of pour-tech AB: a nice, funny video with thanks and congratulations.
