From May 2 to 6, 2022, Bühler ITW Test & Measurement will open the laboratory at its new European location in Leinfelden-Echterdingen. Conveniently located next to Stuttgart Airport and Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre, the company will be demonstrating its potential for solving specific tasks in quality assurance and materials science during this “Open week”. This gives visitors from industry, research and teaching the opportunity to experience cutting-edge technology for the preparation of metallographic samples and observe the latest generation of hardness testers in practical use. Moreover, visitors may want to bring along some material samples to find out, together with Bühler specialists, which preparation technique is the most appropriate for them.

Lutz Werner, business unit manager for Emea of Bühler ITW Test & Measurement, pointed out: "An added plus for visitors is the fact that the international "Control" trade fair will take place simultaneously in the nearby trade fair centre. Thus, they can attend both events with hardly any additional travel expense." Bühler itself will not be represented at Control this year. Werner explained: "Even in view of the general trend towards opening, it is not really clear how and to what extent an international trade fair can take place. For this reason, we have decided to offer our customers a more personal experience in a controlled environment. Our “Open week” will be the ideal framework for this and provide ample opportunities, as we can discuss demanding tasks there on an individual basis in a manageable setting."
