A new suite at RUD’s headquarters in Aalen, South-Western Germany includes a modern training and media centre. The range of services it offers includes information and training for employees and customers, theme-oriented technical conferences, and courses.
These are oriented on the target groups, for example, safe lifting of heavy loads in an industrial environment, and securing loads and traction aids in the field of transport.
The facility also provides an open house for university-related, practically-oriented seminars and for an ongoing, interactive exchange of information and knowledge in the field of private-public partnerships.
This benchmark investment includes its own education and training facility where a modern, interactive forum for exchanging knowledge and experience in its fields of core competence takes place.
The scheme will also provide cross-sector professional training services in the fields of material development and other basic innovations, as well as possible application techniques.
Its focus of attention is placed not only on specialised metallurgical knowledge but also on process-oriented manufacturing know-how for industry-wide and cross-sector fields of application in wire processing and forming, welding, heat treatment and surface technology.
The broad target group consists of all current and potential employees of the RUD Group, the national and international customer sectors, partners on the supplier side, external specialists and experts for theory and practice, as well as product users, and managers in external training and administrative organisations.
For some considerable time, RUD had the idea of setting up such a completely new type of institution for practicing professional knowledge management in the form of its own internally and industry-wide oriented educational and training center. Hansjoerg Rieger, senior director, said that the entry of sons, Joerg, Johannes and Benjamin Rieger into the dynamically growing, international family business had now enabled the construction of a competence centre for chain technology to be realised. The new RUD Centre for Chain Knowledge is thus a consequence of first-class technical competence and also a clear expression of RUD’s long-term claim to leadership in the field of international round steel chain systems and components.
