The focus of the long-standing cooperation between TH OWL and Plantag Coatings lies in the joint use of the Plantag Coatings GmbH technical center. Over the past 15 years, practical courses for bachelor's and master's degree courses in wood surface technology have been held here. In the new Plantag Coatings GmbH technical center, various surface treatment processes can be simulated and tested on modern machines.
Practical semester in wood technology at home and abroad
Students also have the opportunity to complete practical semesters in Germany and abroad at one of Plantag's global subsidiaries. "This cooperation is an example of resource-conserving and yet always up-to-date teaching at technical facilities at the TH OWL," says Professor Reinhard Grell, Dean of the Production and Wood Technology Department at the TH OWL. Plantag Managing Director Hanno Baumann on the cooperation: "The TH OWL students bring fresh ideas and a committed view of our industry."
