DMG / MORI SEIKI support WorldSkills 2013 competition

Judging by the impressive numbers, the coming professional world championships will be the largest international training event of all time. As official sponsor DMG / MORI SEIKI will be providing a total of 32 turning and milling machines for the competition. In addition, an apprentice of GILDEMEISTER Drehmaschinen GmbH in the form of Tobias Brockfeld, reigning German champion in CNC turning, will be competing for the title of World Champion in his discipline. DMG / MORI SEIKI will also be rounding off the event with attractive offers of machines at special WorldSkills conditions.

DMG / MORI SEIKI Academy has been providing practically oriented and educationally innovative training services in the field of CNC machining since it was founded in 1987. For several years, this work has also included the promotion of new recruits, which has already been demonstrated many times by the joint involvement with WorldSkills Germany. The most recent instance was during AMB 2012 in Stuttgart, where the German champion in CNC turning was decided in a three-day contest. Jan M?llenhoff, Managing Director of DMG / MORI SEIKI Academy, is already looking forward excitedly to the coming professional world championships: "WorldSkills 2013 in Leipzig will without question be the highlight of our collaboration up to now.  With Tobias Brockfeld we are preparing a candidate for the competition who has completed his training within the company group."

The 21-year-old prospective cutting-machine operator prevailed against 17 participants at the German championships, and at the same time the victory qualified him for WorldSkills Leipzig 2013. As in the preparation for the German championships, Tobias Brockfeld will also benefit in Leipzig from the high quality of training at GILDEMEISTER Drehmaschinen GmbH and the educational expertise of DMG / MORI SEIKI Academy. The objective is now to win the world title:  "The comprehensive training will enable me to perform to the best of my ability and give me the chance to the title." The motivation to return home as World Champion is also particularly high in his own country.
