The advantages of Bossard’s screw connection training courses being tailored to customer needs are obvious
VERWO develops, manufactures and assembles technologically complex industrial products for discerning customers. Safe production and assembly operations and highly trained staff are fundamentally important to VERWO.
«In our opinion, the Bossard Academy is the ideal partner for tailored training programs»
Roger Kühne, Head of Development VERWO AG
During a customer visit, we welcomed Roger Kühne, VERWO’s Head of Development, to Bossard AG’s headquarters in Zug. We showed him what Proven Productivity means for us and – more importantly – for him.
In addition to the product solutions we provide in sheet metal processing, we also offer VERWO support in logistics with several applications. Assembly workstations equipped with intelligent SmartBins take over B- and C-parts management. Bossard’s supplier management solution also cuts process costs and administration work, since all the suppliers are integrated and seamlessly supplied.
For VERWO, one thing is clear: it can only win over its customers by offering quality. This also includes putting staff through further training to keep them up to date with the latest technology. It quickly became clear that the Bossard Academy could offer exactly that.
The Bossard Academy stands for quality
The Bossard Academy’s specialist seminars cover fastening technology from both a theoretical and a practical standpoint. We cover all aspects of modern screw connections in a holistic and application-related manner – from the physical principles and the materials used, to their use in development, design and production operations in a wide range of industries.
«The Bossard Academy’s training courses and specialist seminars are always geared to our customers’ specific needs.»
Jürgen Eixler, Head of Engineering Bossard AG
In this way, Bossard is providing its customers with support in the exact areas they find problematic. We helped VERWO to clarify its needs and to develop, plan and hold specialist seminars and training courses – on the basics of screw connections, fasteners for joining sheet metal, screws and fuses, and corrosion and corrosion protection.
«We were delighted to work together with the 12 attendees from Assembly and Design to make the day a profitable one.»
Jürgen Eixler, Head of Engineering Bossard AG
As is standard practice at the Bossard Academy, a good 50% of the theoretical part was supplemented with practical exercises and workshops, enabling the attendees to find out for themselves how using a torque tool incorrectly affects the preload force. Or which tool type ensures which level of tightening safety and preload force scatter. There were also moments when the penny dropped for attendees when they were using new, functional screws for sheet metal applications. And that’s just one part of the exciting practical component.
The proven combination of theory and practice helps attendees to try out and test the lessons they have learned straight away. Workbenches and the necessary materials and tools are available at the Bossard Academy for this very purpose.
«The content was perfectly adapted to our needs and the issues we face in sheet metal processing beforehand. Dominik and Daniel, the two instructors, impressed us with their professional expertise – which they always combined with a hint of humor!»
