OKW at the world's leading trade fair for electronics in Munich

The electronica has been covering the entire spectrum of electronics for years. This year, from 12 to 15 November, around 80,000 visitors once again gathered in 18 exhibition halls to obtain a wide range of information on various areas of interest from 3,480 exhibitors. This time, the main focus was on sustainability and artificial intelligence. Naturally, OKW Gehäusesysteme GmbH from Buchen, with their "electronic enclosures," was among the exhibiting companies.

Every electronics application needs a housing, and OKW offers a wide variety of (empty) enclosures in which the relevant hardware can be installed. For OKW, a globally active company, the trade fair with visitors from around 100 countries and regions was the right place to be. The fair has now reached the same high level as it had before the pandemic, and with the positive atmosphere that emerged despite the challenges of current times, the company can consider its participation a resounding success. OKW's stand itself was very favourably positioned, and this had a positive effect on the flow of visitors and thus on the team's lively exchange with potential customers.

Once again, aesthetics and functionality were the main focus of the Buchen products. The versatility and durability of the enclosures, in combination with high-quality materials, were well received by the visitors, so much so that the trade fair team, led by Managing Director Christoph Schneider, was kept busy throughout the four days of the event. Mr Schneider also took the opportunity to speak at the "Embedded Platforms Forum", where he explained to the interested audience the benefits of standard enclosures in electronic design. He demonstrated how costs and time can be saved in the development process and how efficiency in projects can be increased.

OKW GROUP TRAINEE 'WELCOME-DAY' 2024

In September, the OKW Group hosted the 2024 trainee welcome day. In addition to the trainees from OKW, young talents from Bauländer Kunststoffwerke GmbH in Schlierstadt and Computer Creativ GmbH FROM Buchen also participated.

At the Eventurepark in Mudau-Steinbach, the focus on this day was on 'Communication and Teamwork'. The nine apprentices of the group of companies mastered a low ropes course and successfully navigated an escape room. They then demonstrated absolute trust in their team and their own strength at a dizzying height. The successful day concluded with a barbecue buffet.

We wish all our new apprentices a fantastic start and much success and fun in the coming training year!

Our logistics centre is nearing completion

A year ago, we embarked on an exciting journey — the construction of our logistics centre. The project began with a groundbreaking ceremony held on July 25th, 2023. As the project advances swiftly, the high-bay warehouse stands complete, and the exterior work —distinguished by its elegant anthracite hue — is making good progress.

The 75 x 45-meter, 9-meter-high hall construction integrates modern warehouse technology and an optimised hall layout, significantly enhancing our warehousing and shipping operations.

OKW IS ALWAYS AT YOUR SERVICE!

We are available for you throughout the summer season.

Our production and logistics department will be closed for maintenance and relocation from 12th to 25th of August 2024. We would therefore ask you to plan your requirements in good time.
