Battery-operated reach trucks, managed by experienced logistics operators, work seamlessly alongside robots and high-tech tools. These elements collectively contribute to achieving sustainability, productivity, quality, and reliability in production.

The Viega Sphere:

The ‘Viega Sphere’ is a digitalized, futuristic room that is reminiscent of Dr. Charles Xavier’s Cerebro mansion in the X-Men movies. It’s a space where images and sounds are magnified 360 degrees, creating an immersive experience that virtually transports visitors into the future. This room perfectly encapsulates Viega’s vision as “the lifeline of buildings of tomorrow”, mirroring the human body where tubes and pipes, like blood vessels, are integral to the operation of various systems.

Setting New Standards:

Viega Group is not just about innovation; it’s about setting new benchmarks in digitalization and decarbonization. The dedication and passion for innovation and creation at Viega are palpable, marking the beginning of a new era in engineering.

An Insightful Visit:

Our visit was further enriched by a trip to the German shipyard, Meyer Werft, and a stay at the Werft hotel, a former shipyard itself. This opportunity to witness German engineering prowess up close was enlightening and inspiring.

Conclusion:

Our experience at Viega World and Meyer Werft was more than just a visit; it was a lesson in restoration, preservation, innovation, and the promotion of engineering spirit and culture. The German approach to engineering is unique and awe-inspiring, combining ingenuity with a willingness to share knowledge and give back to the community. This ethos is what drives the recruitment of more engineers, scientists, technicians, welders, and plumbers, setting a stellar example for the next generation. Let’s be inspired to bring value and opportunity to those who will shape our manufacturing world of tomorrow.
