“Who are you? How do you ever name yourself?” This was the motto of the “Day of the Neighboring Language” in Bocholt on 21 April 2016. This annual day of action is aimed at young people in the German-Dutch border region of Bocholt/Achterhoek.
Almost 500 pupils from the two neighboring countries took part in this year’s third edition. Workshops on soccer, a climbing garden or a student parliament and many other activities were organized by supporters in Bocholt.
SPALECK, as an example of Bocholt’s innovative SMEs, opened its doors and offered the young people the opportunity to get a taste of the manufacturing world of a “green” mechanical engineering company.
In 90 entertaining minutes, they got to know SPALECK GmbH & Co KG, a modern supplier of Precision parts, Sheet metal technology and metalworking in the region. The program included a tour of ultra-modern CNC machining centers on which our cutting machine operators turn and mill highly complex products. The Sheet metal technology production area offered insights into how products for the agricultural industry or rail vehicle construction, for example, are created from simple steel, stainless steel or aluminum sheets on behalf of customers.
Finally, the visit to the Conveying & Separation Technology division was “international”. Spaleck is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of screening machines. Product solutions made in Bocholt help on all five continents with the processing and screening of bulk materials, the extraction of raw materials and the recovery of recyclable materials. The experts at the SPALECK TestCenter showed exactly how this works, for example how large screening machines can be used to separate materials from Municipal solid waste.
We thank you very much for your visit and say “auf Wiedersehen” and “tot siens”!
