Early rising today for an hour and a half-long train ride up to Diessenhofen, Switzerland, where we toured Schottli. Schottli is a Swiss high precision injection mold manufacturing facility that specializes in molds for the medical and packaging industries. The tour started with a presentation by Johannes Strassner, Schottli's managing director for sales and marketing. His
presentation was very informative and did a very good job of showing all of us what Schottli's capabilities are and what Swiss technology brings to the plastics industry. After the presentation we were broken up into three groups and given detailed tours of the manufacturing processes that Schottli's products go through. After the tours, Schottli hosted a lunch for all us. This tour was a great experience and was very informative for all the students.
The journey back to St. Gallen was full of the beautiful scenery of Lake Constance. Once we got back, everyone hit the town to get some dinner, where we had the opportunity to experience some authentic Swiss food. While dining at the Schwarzer Engel (which translates to Black Angel) Restaurant, we were able to get dishes such as pumpking risotto, fresh rabbit and homemade pasta, and also schnitzel served with locally grown vegetables. After a hearty meal we're off to bed to get up early for the Fakuma Plastics Trade Show in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
