Particular highlights included:
✅ Demonstration of modern oil maintenance units, including a test setup ✅ Insights into the latest generation of filters from Hydac ✅ Product and application solutions from Enerpac and Eaton ✅ Live demonstrations of technical products by Weicon ✅ Practical insights into hydraulic hose manufacturing at SIMPEX ✅ Tour of selected current SIMPEX projects
The open dialogue, technical discussions and keen interest demonstrated just how important face-to-face meetings and practical formats are for sustainable solutions in hydraulics. A heartfelt thank you to all partners, visitors and staff who made this Technology Day such a successful event. We look forward to further exchanges and future joint projects.
After 3.5 years of intensive training, our two apprentices have successfully completed their apprenticeships as industrial mechanics – and we couldn't be prouder! Even better: both are staying on board and will be strengthening our team as permanent industrial mechanics with immediate effect. This is exactly how we envisage sustainable skilled worker development.
At Simpex Hydraulik, we are convinced that: 👉 Training is an investment in the future – for young talent and for us as a company. 👉 Practical, high-quality and on an equal footing – that's how we train and we welcome everyone who joins us on this journey.
Congratulations to our new colleagues! We look forward to continuing our journey together. 💙🔧
SIMPEX was once again able to put together a team for the second volleyball tournament. After winning the tournament in its debut last year, the team was able to defend its title. The group stage was completed with three wins from three games. This made the final against ArcelorMittal Eisenhüttenstadt's first team all the more exciting. After two sets, the score was 1:1 and a deciding set was required. It was a hard-fought set with constant lead changes and a happy ending for SIMPEX Hydraulik.
We would like to thank Heckmann Stahl und Metallbau Ost GmbH for organising the event. It was a great evening and a fantastic event, which helps to strengthen cooperation in the region!
In order to meet the increased demand for sawing work, we have expanded our machine park with a new band saw from KNUTH Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH. We opted for a semi-automatic SBS 355 with a cutting capacity of up to 355 mm in diameter. The quality is outstanding and the operation very intuitive; our employees are delighted.
