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.
