Growth and Digitalization: Field Trip to Viessmann

This year’s educational field trip organized by the Steinmühlenkollegium took participants to Allendorf/Eder to visit Viessmann, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of heating systems. A tour of the Infocenter, Galeria, production facilities, and technical center provided insight into the company’s product portfolio development and growth; through foresight regarding energy resources, innovative strategies, and sophisticated optimization processes—among other factors—the company has become a global leader. The critical importance of qualified employees in an increasingly digital world was then explained in a presentation. With the right perspective on digitalization, it is not an end in itself, but rather a means to an end.
