Workshop-time with Pon Bike

Regular exchange with our customers and partners on new trends, innovative ideas and sustainable materials, products and projects has been a key concern for us for many years. In this context, we have also been conducting material training courses at our headquarter in Mühlen since 2023.

This week we welcomed designers from our partners Kalkhoff and Focus (Pon Bike Holding) for the first time. For two days we exchanged ideas on construction with plastics, the development of plastic components in the bicycle industry, plastic-friendly drawing and much more.

Dr. Carsten Bye from the ZWT Center for Materials and Technology gave a talk on the properties of materials and plastics, types and areas of application and showed practical examples. We also discussed the topics of injection molding processes, product design and testing procedures together. A tour of the company was part of the program, as was a shared dinner at Lake Dümmer.

"The mutual exchange of experiences is a win-win situation. Meetings like this are a wonderful example of practical, reliable and long-term cooperation," said Managing Director Steffen Breitenstein, summarizing the two-day seminar.
