From June 3rd to 14th, our Traderunner – a fully functional mobile welding showroom with integrated products – was on an exciting journey through Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The aim of this tour was to present our iBOTone® welding cobot directly to customers on site and to demonstrate live its wide range of applications. Our ABICOR BINZEL team visited around 20 companies during this tour, including the Polish manufacturers PBL Problach and M-metal. The companies came from different areas of metal processing, such as transformer and tank construction.
From April 15th to 19th, everything literally revolved around pipes, pipe accessories and techniques for pipe processing – and ABICOR BINZEL presented a range of pipe welding products at its own booth. These included the ABIBUG® 300, the iST ARC sensors (iSENSE TRACK ARC) and coated contact tips.
On March 20th, 2024, ABICOR BINZEL celebrated a very special milestone: The reopening of the South African subsidiary, Kempton Park. ABICOR BINZEL has been active in South Africa for more than 35 years. With the brand-new location there are now even more opportunities to support the region economically and to supply it with welding technology from the world market leader in arc welding.
Since 1 February 2024, the strong brands of the Industrie-Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft (IBG) from the business areas cutting, welding, systems and components have been united under the new umbrella brand ABICOR GROUP. Therefore also ABICOR BINZEL. With this change, manufacturing companies in the metal industry will be able to find exactly the right solution for their individual requirements from the entire portfolio of the ABICOR GROUP. This applies to products and system solutions as well as to expert knowledge and process optimization.
You never stop learning during your apprenticeship. Day after day, the apprentices gather new impressions – both in the vocational school and in the company. Shortly before Christmas, ABICOR BINZEL was able to organize the seminar day "Trainee-Fit" together with the german health insurance BARMER. On this day, the ABICOR BINZEL apprentices focused on the topics of training, motivation, sport and health. It was a great experience to have a former professional athlete take part in this event: Frank Busemann. He is an absolute expert when it comes to self-motivation and perseverance.
Last year was very exciting with the successful comeback of SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN, but that doesn't mean that we are taking a break. On the contrary – this year promises to be even more interesting, not only for our headquarters in Buseck, but also for our subsidiaries, sister companies, dealers, and all welding technology enthusiasts.
As if everyone had been waiting for this event: the world's leading trade fair SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN 2023 in Essen, which finally opened its doors again for an international audience from the specialist world of joining, cutting and coating technology. And ABICOR BINZEL was represented on the 1,200 m2 IBG Industrial Park booth together with the associated companies Thermacut, HERR and Cantesco.
In times of a shortage of qualified staff, forward-looking companies are aware of the importance of investing in the training of new employees. That's why ABICOR BINZEL has taken on seven new apprentices and a one-year trainee this year, who are laying the foundation for their professional future with us.
Whether at the desk or at the machine – people often tend to move too little or adopt an unhealthy position. If this lack of exercise continues at home, the consequences can be serious. In order to counteract this negative spiral, ABICOR BINZEL regularly organises a health day as part of its company health management.
48,058 eight-graders from 511 schools took part in the Hesse mathematics competition 2022/23. The six best in each school type were honoured at an awards ceremony held last Friday by Hesse’s Minister of Education Prof. Dr. Ralph Alexander Lorz and HESSENMETALL Verband der Metall- und Elektrounternehmen e. V. at our headquarters in Buseck.
