Chosen among
700 applicants
Building up the
new Competence Center for Vacuum Technology in the Tabakfabrik Linz has always
been a great wish of all involved. At the heart of innovation, development and
cooperation - surrounded by many startups and other exciting companies - would
be the ideal place for Columbus.
When it became
clear that the new competence center for vacuum technology was to be
implemented and we inquired at the Tabakfabrik, the shock was enormous: 700
applicants were on the waiting list and wanted to become part of this project.
Everything on
one card. We wrote an application that included why WE would
be the most suitable.
The right concept - coincidence - luck - no matter! Columbus was chosen. We
should even get one of the most beautiful places on the terrain, because
otherwise the delivery of our test machine was not guaranteed. With great
enthusiasm we started planning :-)
Once you have
come among the chosen ones, the support here is really great.The Tabakfabrik created the great rooms and the wonderful company Litterak provided the
interior and supported us in all other projects as well.
Of course, the
delivery of our demonstration machine, which had to be lifted to our third
floor with a mobile crane, also caused great tension. Highest professionalism
was offered here above all by the company Felbermayr.
And now - in
November 2018 - we have arrived. After an exciting year full
of concepting,
preparation and practical implementation. Ready to fulfill the new competence center
with what it was designed for: a place for research, development, training and
encounter.
