Come and join the igus® Tech up, Cost down seminars.

Working from home has become learning from home! Every day is becoming like a new school day and we find ourselves in awe of our children and their ability to absorb knowledge like a sponge, secretly wishing we still had the brain capacity to absorb as much!

Earlier in the year, igus® introduced it’s virtual exhibition which has been a huge success with visitors from all over the world. Following on from that, development of a concept, a virtual reality tour of the igus® factory was completed, allowing customers to get up close and personal from the comfort of their own home or office.

More recently the team has been conceptualising new channels that can be used to pass on product knowledge using technology that we are all now reliant on. This is vitally important to be able to continue supporting customers with applications and technical issues. In true igus® fashion interactive seminars have been introduced into the new way of communication.  

These “Tech up, Cost down” online seminars as they are fast becoming known, are quick and informative. They are run by the product managers and are designed to help give an overview of the products, without going into too much technical detail. They last around 20 to 30 minutes and allow customers to identify exactly how these products could be beneficial for their application

So why are igus offering these seminars and how are they executed?

For more than 50 years, igus® has been developing and testing technical plastics and every day, the igus® experts improve thousands of applications. Exhibitions have always been a key method for new igus® products to be released to the world, to show the capabilities and possibilities of the latest igus® technology and showcase the benefits that can be achieved. But times have changed. Exhibitions have become a thing of the past so igus® needed to think of alternative ways of getting these products out to their customers.

The seminars are a combination of expert knowledge, application examples, key benefits and a Q&A session. The customer is given an overview of what can be done: the elimination of wear and lubrication, for example, results in technical improvement or extending service intervals, amongst other things, which ultimately could lead to a reduction of costs.

These seminars also reconnect the face-to-face service that igus® customers have come to appreciate through the Microsoft Team’s platform. Physical visits are available, as they have been throughout, with sales engineers taking all the necessary precautions and following strict guidelines for customers safety and peace of mind

igus® is and always has been an innovator and it is crucial that this pandemic does not break the relationships and support that have been built over 50 years. In these times of crisis new ways to continue to support current and future customers are pioneered. The changes that are implemented now will be the new normal and igus® looks forward to welcoming you to the upcoming seminars
