Visiting the global market leader: Students discover energy-self-sufficient production at Endress+Hauser Wetzer

12.12.2025, Study:

What does the future hold for industrial measurement technology, and what role does sustainability play in production? Over 50 Industrial Engineering students from Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences (HNU) explored these questions on 17 November 2025 during an excursion to Endress+Hauser Wetzer GmbH & Co. KG in Nesselwang. They were accompanied by lecturer Lukas Fuchs.

At the beginning, the first-year students were given an overview of the group of companies and the Nesselwang site. This was followed by a detailed tour of the factory, during which, among other things, the new building was presented – an energy-self-sufficient building equipped with a heat pump and solar system, as well as a state-of-the-art staff restaurant. The students were able to experience the technology up close: from machines and circuit boards to precision processes.

Another item on the agenda was a lecture on temperature measurement technology, which deepened the knowledge acquired during the factory tour. After lunch together, which provided an opportunity for discussion, the group returned to Neu-Ulm.
