REC® Seminars & Workshops

Your basis for getting excellent knowledge in fastening technology

By participating in our seminars and workshops you will get an excellent knowledge in the field of bolting techniques. We are an independent and neutral provider of trainings. We provide you with the latest state of the art in the field of fastening technology topics. Our seminars and trainings are targeted at plant designers, engineers, construction engineers, technicians and all employees from purchasing department and quality assurance and those who are in charge of product liability. Depending on the kind of seminar or workshop we additionally invite specialized external speakers. If requested we can offer you all kinds of seminars, workshops and trainings in our “REC® Manufaktur” (production site) and/or in our REC® Bolt Testing Laboratory. Upon your request, we also will be happy to offer you our tailor-made trainings as in-house trainings directly at your company.
