An exchange programme between two European manufacturers has been labelled a roaring success by participants following its conclusion. The joint initiative between John Guest and Arburg saw selected individuals from the two companies take part in an intensive four week programme aimed at upskilling the next generation of apprentice engineers. 

Aimed at upskilling apprentices across the continent, an exchange pilot has been launched between a major German machine manufacturer and an innovative UK engineering company. John Guest and Arburg have teamed up for the initiative, and are trading final year apprentices for the period of four weeks. The pilot will see John Guest’s apprentices visit Arburg’s factory in Lossburg, Germany to learn more about how the plastic injection moulding machines they use every day are put together.
