Forum IPW - Industriepark Walsrode

1st Education Conference
Fit for
the future
Making children and young people fit
for the future – with this goal in its
sights, the rural district of Soltau-
Fallingbostel plans to set up a Bureau
of Education to cluster together and
enhance the region’s vocational education
and training (VET) activities. This is
the outcome of the 1st Education Conference
held in Walsrode in mid-October.
Representatives of the local communities,
private and public education
institutions, business and industry took
part in the event, confirming their interest
in improving the region’s education
and training landscape. Their joint
objective is to work closer together in
a bid to provide the best possible education
and vocational training opportunities
for children, juveniles and adults.
“To secure jobs, we need qualified
young people,” said Dr Karl Krähling
of Dow Wolff Cellulosics, stressing the
regional economic community’s high
level of interest in the project. The
participants requested that the Bureau
of Education take up its work in the
course of the coming year.
Companies at the Industrial Park
CaseTech GmbH
Focusing on sausages
Linking tradition with modernday
needs can be achieved successfully,
as is proven by CaseTech. Based in
the Industrial Park Walsrode, this
company produces high-quality
casings used for producing sausages,
and in addition it provides technical
services and support to the meat processing
industry and to the butcher’s
trade. Sausage casings have been
manufactured at this location since
as early as 1928 and are marketed
under the brand name of Walsroder
Casings.
In terms of quality, Walsroder Casings
have set standards in the course of
the past seven decades and they
undergo continual upgrading at the
IPW. “Our certified production process
and our fully-equipped pilot
IPW Forum – Issue 01|2008
sausagemaking facility ensure prime
quality,” says Managing Director
Jürgen Schuh. Today the company
which emerged from the artificial
casings division of the former Wolff
Walsrode AG is committed to highlevel
research, state-of-the-art production
and customized finishing
and services – all from a single source.
And that’s not all: CaseTech is one
of the few suppliers around the globe
to offer not only coated and uncoated
cellulose fibrous casings but also a
broad range of polymer casings.
CaseTech pays a lot of attention to
the visual appeal of its sausage
casings. Whether for customized,
standard or butcher’s prints, entire
series of graphic images or individual
print designs – CaseTech operates one
of the world’s leading special-purpose
printing works and is thus able to
print casings by the flexographic
process with up to eight colours. In
Germany, Eastern Europe and in the
USA, CaseTech has approximately 420
employees, some 240 of whom work
in the IPW.
