New training center completed

The new training center of BRUXSAFOL Folien GmbH in Hammelburg was completed at the end of last year and has been used for training courses since the beginning of this year. Construction of the center was initiated in November 2024 with a ceremonial groundbreaking and completed within 12 months.
“Building it really tested our nerves—something anyone who has ever been involved in construction can probably relate to. All the more I’m pleased that we can now work here on a completely new level. It’s a real benefit both for the training participants and for our internal processes,” says Managing Director Thomas Brux, who led the project.

With the new building, capacity for hands-on training and qualification programs has been expanded. The concept combines theoretical training areas with significantly enlarged practical spaces: the previously roughly 200 m² training area has been more than doubled by the new center. Three separate “wrapping bays” allow training sessions to run in parallel on vehicles and in other practice scenarios such as building glazing. The offering is complemented by state-of-the-art seminar and event rooms, as well as exhibition and lounge areas.

During construction, the focus was placed on sustainability and on implementing the project as regionally as possible. Almost the entire technical and spatial fit-out was carried out by companies from the region; the general contractor also came from Bavaria. “As a family-run company, it’s important to us to take responsibility in the region—not only by providing jobs, but also through close partnerships locally. Those who plan and deliver regionally strengthen the local economy and create stable structures,” says Managing Director Michael Brux.

Hammelburg’s First Mayor, Armin Warmuth, visited the new training center and learned about the new facilities on site. Warmuth emphasized the importance of companies like this for the local economy: business activities should not be viewed in isolation from their surroundings, but rather as having an impact on the region—for example when training participants book overnight stays, make use of local restaurants, and create demand for regional products.
