In this context, weba Werkzeugbau, a company specializing in external tool production with over 50 employees, reached the finals and impressed the jury with its technological expertise, project visualization, and the qualification and development of its employees.

The "Excellence in Production" competition, which has been organized for 14 years by RWTH Aachen University and the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT, has become a highly esteemed award for companies in the German-speaking region. This year, out of nearly 300 applicants, a total of 14 finalists were nominated in four different categories, including weba Werkzeugbau.
