Last Thursday, Umicore once again invited residents from the surrounding areas to an information event on site. In a relaxed atmosphere, Managing Director Michael Herkommer took the opportunity to present the company and the projects that have been implemented and are currently underway at the site.
At the end of May, Umicore Galvanotechnik GmbH will lose Erich Arnet, a sales representative who was highly valued for his expertise and friendly manner. After more than 40 years of loyal service, this well-known and respected expert in the industry is taking his well-deserved retirement. Born in Switzerland, he has made a significant contribution to Umicore's success during his impressive career.
Umicore MDS is pleased to announce the introduction of the new AURUNA® product line. This innovative series offers cobalt- and nickel-free hard gold plating that meets the highest quality standards while providing environmental and ethical benefits. With the new AURUNA® line, Umicore is setting a new industry benchmark and is underlining its commitment to sustainable and responsible technologies.
As part of the ‘Encounters between Industry and School’ series organised by Umicore, the chemistry and physics classes of the final year at Parler-Gymnasium now had the opportunity to put some of what they have learned into practice at Umicore. The company welcomed the students and their teachers last week to an exclusive insight into the long-established global company in Schwaebisch Gmuend.
Umicore Electroplating celebrated the 60th birthday of Uwe Wohlfarth with a small gathering. The company thanked him for his many years of loyal and successful service. Managing Director Michael Herkommer emphasised that the birthday honouree has made an important contribution not only through his many years of experience and expertise, but also through his tireless commitment to the company.
The visit to Umicore Galvanotechnik GmbH by the advanced chemistry course of the 11th grade of the Franziskus-Gymnasium Mutlangen was an exciting encounter between industry and school. The students were warmly welcomed by Steffen Barth, head of the human resources department, and Karl Hieber, manager of the site. They were given a fascinating insight into the company in Schwaebisch Gmuend.
Last Friday, a large number of the approximately 200 employees of Umicore Galvanotechnik GmbH gathered for the annual company Christmas party, this time at the Gmuender Wissenswerkstatt eule, to celebrate their achievements this year.
