FAKUMA 2026: Career Friday

On Career Friday, “Mold your dreams, mold your future”, at FAKUMA on 16 October 2026, more than 60 apprentices and trainers will reinforce the ARBURG trade fair team in Friedrichshafen and showcase the wide range of career opportunities available at the innovative family-owned company to young talents. Special stand tours focusing on the Smartest Factory, as well as a prize draw, will be offered for young visitors. In addition, the “swimming professor” and ARBURG brand ambassador Prof Andreas Fath will be on site.

Stand tours

ARBURG’s trade fair presentation is centred entirely on the “Smartest Factory”. During stand tours with ARBURG apprentices, participants on Career Friday (16 October, 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.) can experience first-hand that ARBURG offers the full spectrum of digitalisation opportunities: from innovative injection moulding technologies including smart assistants and AI-supported features, through efficient automation and turnkey systems, right up to the digital networking of the entire production process. The apprentices explain how all these elements interact seamlessly and work together along the value chain, as well as the apprenticeship programmes and degree courses offered by ARBURG.

Visitors to the stand can also try out a virtual welding robot with VR goggles, which is used in training. Anyone wishing to take a direct look from Friedrichshafen into the company headquarters in Loßburg can fold a 3D viewer, attach it to their smartphone and embark on a virtual 360-degree tour of the ARBURG Vocational Training Center. Young visitors to the stand can also take part in a prize draw, with three prizes of two tickets each to Europa-Park Rust. In addition, everyone will receive an attractive giveaway.

Unique ARBURG training – it pays to apply

ARBURG offers a unique, triple quality-certified training concept. Over the past 75 years, the company has prepared around 2,400 young people for professional life. A team of trainers and career professionals will also be present in Friedrichshafen, where interested visitors can easily apply directly at the FAKUMA Career Day for an apprenticeship, a degree course or a direct career entry.
