From now on, RHD GmbH will offer its customers a selection of process-specific and cross-process training courses from SKZ. “These will take place at the SKZ in Würzburg, at the customer’s premises, live as online training or as web-based training,” explains Matthias Ruff, authorized signatory and Sales Manager Education and Research at the SKZ. The SKZ has many years of experience in Germany and abroad, technical expertise and modern tools for imparting knowledge about plastics processing – making it the ideal cooperation partner for RHD GmbH.

On-site production analyses and audits
RHD GmbH has been active in industrial production since 1989 and helps manufacturing companies to make their production more efficient and eliminate production problems. In addition to technical advice and the sale of various products relating to production-related topics such as ionization & electrostatics, compressed air, polyester casting and phenolic resins, surface treatment, cleaning systems and (plastic) colouring, RHD GmbH now also focuses on the targeted transfer of knowledge based on the practical experience gained over the last 35 years. RHD GmbH’s expertise lies in carrying out production analyses and audits directly on site and imparting practical knowledge, so that practical experience, science and technical know-how complement each other perfectly in cooperation with the SKZ.

Courses on various plastics processing methods
There is a choice of courses for the various plastics processing methods – such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding or compounding. The basics of plastics technology are also taught. “Together with the SKZ, we want to provide companies in the manufacturing (plastics) industry with a comprehensive and financially attractive selection of further training measures. Especially the topics in the areas of ionization, electrostatics and process optimization are a real added value for our customers and perfectly complement our practical advice,” says Uta Strumpel, Managing Director of RHD GmbH.
