Schubert, an acknowledged innovation leader in the packaging industry, is continuously developing its state-of-the-art top-loading packaging machines. To ensure that customers and employees are always up to date with the latest technology, the company offers regular training courses at its Training Centre, which opened its doors just under a year and a half ago.

Schubert opened the new Training Centre at its main site in Crailsheim at the end of 2022. And a great deal has been achieved since then. The existing training portfolio was scrutinised and revised in view of responding even better to the specific requirements of customers and employees. In doing so, Schubert developed new formats and content and designed a series of online training courses in addition to the face-to-face courses. Schubert is currently supplementing its offering with a recently developed digital learning platform. Personnel capacities have also been increased to enable the far-reaching program to be run continuously. What was lacking, however, was a new training machine. Sarah Busch, Head of Customer Training at Gerhard Schubert, explains: “Our training concept is based on a well-balanced mix of traditional and digital learning content. Interactive courses and explanatory videos are a great way of understanding and familiarising yourself with certain topics, but some subjects are easier to learn when you are standing right at the machine with a trainer and a small team, and you have the opportunity to get hands-on and try things out. As our previous training machines were always fully booked, we decided to invest in a further model. With our new training machine, we can expand our capacities and offer significantly more training courses.”
