On May 8, 2025, Schoeller had the pleasure of welcoming a group of International Business students from Zuyd University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands) to our production site in Hellenthal. As part of their International Business program, the students gained exciting insights into our company, stainless steel tube production, and current challenges facing the industry.
After a brief company introduction and safety briefing, the morning program featured two main discussion sessions:
🔹 Market challenges in an increasingly globalized industry
🔹 Sustainability and ESG initiatives at Schoeller
Especially the second topic sparked engaging discussions. Students learned more about our long-term sustainability goals, ongoing efforts to improve energy efficiency, and our strategic investments for the future.
Following a short break, the group experienced a comprehensive production tour: from raw material delivery and storage to welding, laser processing, drawing, cutting and quality assurance – with detailed explanations and Q&A at each station.
The students were particularly impressed by the technical precision, operational depth, and our strong commitment to sustainability. We were equally inspired by the students’ curiosity, openness and international perspective.
We thank the Zuyd University group for visiting and look forward to future exchange!
A special thank-you also goes to all colleagues who helped organize and support the visit with such dedication and professionalism.
