WOT visits the BMW plant in Leipzig
On 10 September 2019, the staff of the WOT professorship visited the BMW plant in Leipzig. The focus was on material and surface technology topics.
The individually designed tour through different areas of production was made possible by the personal commitment of Thomas Priemuth, Head of Production Systems, and Dr. Rebekka Büttner, who recently completed her doctorate at the Chair of Factory Planning and Operation at Chemnitz University of Technology. Particularly interesting were in-depth insights into the production of the CFRP lightweight body, the joining technologies adapted to different steel grades and the paint line. In addition, questions were discussed and short technical talks were held with experts on site. The visit served as a technical exchange and marked the start of a deeper cooperation between the TU Chemnitz and the BMW plant in Leipzig. The WOT group of visitors would like to thank the organisers and interlocutors, especially Hans-Peter Kemser, Plant Manager BMW Leipzig, for their kindness and warm welcome.
