On May 15, 2025, Schoeller welcomed the DLG Eifel Young Professionals (German website) to an exclusive networking event at our headquarters in Hellenthal. The focus of the evening: the high-tech investment “Laser XL+” – the largest single investment in company history.
Following a welcome by CEO Alexander Mertens and a company introduction by Timo Klein, participants gained behind-the-scenes insights into the development of the new large-diameter laser welding system. Project leads Meike Hoß and Michael Schöneborn shared milestones, challenges, and key facts about the project, which represents a technological leap forward.
A guided tour through the production facilities followed, offering a close-up view of the new Laser Competence Center. The event concluded with an informal networking session over snacks and drinks in the historic “Alte Schmiede.”
A successful evening combining regional industry leadership and young professional engagement.
Shaping the future together
The DLG Eifel Young Professionals Network offers young entrepreneurs and managers under the age of 40 a platform for exchange, cooperation and future-oriented thinking – with the clear aim of actively helping to shape the Eifel.
