Festive campus inauguration at NETZSCH Pumps & Systems! On Friday, 20 September, and the following Saturday, the official opening of the NETZSCH Campus in Waldkraiburg took place in a festive frame, a family afternoon, and an employee party.
Almost three and a half years have passed since the ground-breaking ceremony for the new assembly hall and offices at Geretsrieder Straße 1 in Waldkraiburg. All three plants have merged into one large campus, and the existing buildings have also been renovated. For this reason, there was a lot on offer last weekend.
