On 13/06/2017 the nursery school-teachers dismissed their preschool children with the traditional school cone festival, a day not only dedicated to the children, but also to parents and teachers.

At the beginning of June, W.AG started further expansion and optimisation at Geisa.

The construction and integration of another loading dock allows more flexibility during deliveries and dispatch of goods. “With the second loading dock, we prevent congestion at pick up and dispatch”, says Tobias Becker, Head of Logistics at W.AG. “This expansion also benefits freight forwarding companies, as we can process the dispatch and delivery of goods faster.”

In April 2017, the prototyping department spent several days on a training course on foam inlays.

The emphasis of this training for the W.AG inlay designers was the creation of complex milled inlays. Because in practice, the use of hard foam for milled foam inlays often makes for easier implementation of complex inlay designs requested by the customer and offers optimal results.
