Ehemaligentreffen Werkzeugbauchallenge
The training and further education of young employees is considered a decisive success factor for the future, especially for know-how-intensive toolmaking. The annual WBA Toolmaking Challenge therefore serves to promote young talent in toolmaking. For this purpose, the one-week course covers various topics and lays the foundation for a cross-company exchange among the young talents at an early stage. At Moulding Expo, the former participants met again, discussed the trends and challenges in mould making in exciting workshops and during a tour of the trade fair, and perpetuate the mutual exchange.
