Our fourth Trade Information Day was held on Saturday, 7 July, 2007, in the buildings of J. Schmalz GmbH. More than 320 schoolchildren and their parents took this opportunity of learning more about the 14 different apprenticeships and sandwich courses offered by Schmalz.

In direct discussions with the Schmalz trainees and their teachers, the visitors were able to obtain information about the various courses and learn what experiences the trainees have had. Guided tours, which started every 60 minutes, allowed the visitors to see the various parts of the company – everything from the trainee workshops to the company's own showroom, where various experiments with the Schmalz products were demonstrated. The more courageous visitors could even carry out their own hands-on tests, moving various objects with the aid of the vacuum technology from Schmalz.

The workshop "Basic metal-working" allowed interested persons with basic skills to manufacture their own memo holders and key fobs. The day was rounded off with the "Schmalz Quiz", with attractive prizes, and finally cakes, coffee and soft drinks.
