Partner Certificate Presented

MAB GmbH a new member of the Partner Circle of the University of Applied Sciences Amberg-Weiden

Weiden. MAB GmbH is now officially one of 31 selected companies in the Partner Circle of the University of Applied Sciences Amberg-Weiden. When about 30 students from the Industrial Engineering and Management course paid a company visit to MAB, Managing Director Marco Bauer received the Partner Certificate from Prof. Dr. Frank Schäfer.

An efficient partnership between the university and regional industry is the focus of the Partner Circle, which was founded in 2003. The aim is “to promote practice-oriented student training and ideal networking opportunities between the university and companies,” explained Prof. Dr. Frank Schäfer, the company sponsor of MAB GmbH.

MAB has been closely cooperating with the University of Applied Sciences Amberg-Weiden for a long time. The university is always an essential part of the Weiden-based company’s customer and network events. Student excursions that showcase MAB also serve as an opportunity for participants to ask questions—they’re a regular entry in each of the partners’ event calendars. In addition, the cooperation has already yielded research projects, as well as bachelor and master theses. Having MAB GmbH become a member of the Partner Circle was the next logical step. “We are looking forward to further strengthening our already successful partnership,” said MAB Managing Director Marco Bauer.

The excursion to MAB brought the prospective industrial engineers closer to the innovative company. Managing Director Marco Bauer not only explained the three divisions (Precision Manufacturing, Special-purpose Machinery, and Digital Services), but also presented impressive figures: Bauer, who founded the company in 2011, can now count more than 150 colleagues on his team. In spring of last year, that number was still below 30. “This corresponds to employee growth of 466% within 18 months.” During a guided tour through the production area, the students also got some insight into MAB GmbH’s state-of-the-art machinery.
