NDR works with vacuum presses from Columbus
Guenther Vetter and Manfred Mueller worked
together with the team of the NDR. They tested a variety of forms and
materials. The new “Weltspiegel-Studio” (weekly world news studio) had already
been produced with our Vacuflex.
In September 2007, Guenther Vetter and Manfred
Mueller flew to Hamburg to give a training course at the NDR for their newly
purchased vacuum press.
The team of the NDR workshop received a two
day induction on the new machine. This was necessary because they had a huge
variety of forms and materials to work with, mainly for forming plywood,
veneer, plastic and foil lamination.
The training was very interesting for the NDR
team and was a new experience for Guenther Vetter and Manfred Mueller, who
enjoyed working together with the highly creative team.
The highlight of our tour around the whole
area (where several hundred people work) was a visit to the new “Weltspiegel”
studio, where we saw the interior which had been manufactured with our
Vacuflex.
The technical equipment of the workshops was
also impressive, where the committed employees produced furniture and interiors
for their own and other studios in the German broadcasting system.
We say thank you to the team at NDR for their
friendly welcome and interesting and productive cooperation in the training
course.
