On April 20, 2012 WFC11 delegates had the possibility to participate at the
WFC11 post Congress plant tour to the ANDRITZ Headquarter in
Graz followed by a wine tasting tour. The ANDRITZ GROUP is a global market
leader for customized plant, systems and services for hydropower, the pulp
and paper, steel and other specialized industries (solid/liquid separation,
feed and biofuel).
The Group is headquartered in Graz, Austria and has a staff of approx. 14,700 employees worldwide.
It develops and makes its high-tech systems at production, service and sales sites all around
the world.
Founded in 1852, the ANDRITZ Graz workshop manufactures components for the major business areas within Andritz (hydro power, pulp and paper, environmental and metals industries).
On the tour participants were introduced to major workshops and the manufacturing process
of Andritz products. It is Andritz' strategy to manufacture the key proprietary components
for our equipment in-house to ensure that the most stringent quality requirements are adhered
to. Many other components are subcontracted within our network of certified facilities.
This way Andritz has direct control over capacity management and cost leadership.
Wine Tasting Tour to Seggau Castle
The plant tour was followed by a wine tasting to to Seggau Castle. Beneath
poplars and chestnut trees, where the Klapotetz beats time, life revolves
around wine. An internationally more and more popular variety of local white
wine reach the peak of maturity amidst the gentle hills of southern Styria.
Wine-tasting and a cellar tour of the 300 year year-old Episcopal Seggau Castle will help you acquire a taste for it. A hearty snack of assorted homemade Styrian delicacies amidst the vineyards is highlight of this tour.
