BITZER to open new international training centre in Germany

February 12, 2015 12:17 pm

 BITZER Group, the independent manufacturer of refrigeration compressors, is setting up SCHAUFLER Academy at the Rottenburg-Ergenzingen in Germany.
Construction of this ambitious project kicked off in August last year and is expected to be completed by October this year. BITZER is therefore further pursuing its strategy to expand the Rottenburg-Ergenzingen location, now in construction phase 8.
“With the construction of the SCHAUFLER Academy in Rottenburg, BITZER is clearly demonstrating its intention to continue investing in this region in the future,” explains Jürgen Kleiner, Chief Procurement Officer at BITZER. Named after BITZER CEO Peter Schaufler, Peter-Schaufler-Strasse leads to the current large-scale project – the SCHAUFLER Academy – and will be the new address of the Rottenburg-Ergenzingen location following completion of construction. Because the SCHAUFLER Academy was designed to be a multifunctional building, it will also be the new main entrance and representative reception building for the entire factory, providing the location with a unique ambience.
“We decided to build the SCHAUFLER Academy for many different reasons,” says Rainer Große-Kracht, Chief Technology Officer at BITZER. “The complexity of BITZER compressors and products is always increasing, for example due to the integrated frequency inverters, electronic components and new CO2 systems. Technically demanding solutions also require a well-trained service staff. The SCHAUFLER Academy will be the central training location for customers and employees from all over the world. Here we’ll offer the training courses that keep the maintenance teams of our business partners up to date.”
