Phoenix Mecano proudly participated once again in the Engineering Exchange program this fall, reinforcing our commitment to collaboration and continuous improvement across our global network. This year, the exchange featured Benedikt Moeller and Michael Klassen, who spent approximately two weeks immersed in each other’s host companies.
Michael, currently with BOPLA, brought his expertise in CNC machining and programming, particularly as BOPLA expands into advanced 4-axis and 5-axis operations. His visit to Phoenix Mecano focused on sharing best practices and exploring ways to optimize processes across similar product lines. This hands-on collaboration fosters innovation and strengthens our ability to support one another across the group.
Meanwhile, Benedikt’s time at BOPLA will be centered around learning through integration. By engaging with various departments, he will explore opportunities to enhance automation and streamline production and assembly processes. The exchange will also provide valuable exposure to unfamiliar areas, broadening his understanding and sparking new ideas.
At the heart of this initiative is a shared belief: bringing together people with diverse perspectives and hands-on experience is essential to driving innovation and efficiency. By working side by side, our teams are not only exchanging knowledge but also building lasting relationships that enhance communication and collaboration across borders.
This year’s exchange is another step forward in our mission to create smarter, more connected manufacturing solutions. We look forward to continuing this tradition of learning, sharing, and growing—together.
