Setting yet another milestone in customer loyalty with this new academy, Klingspor underscores their role as one of the leading suppliers of abrasive technology.

A place of enthusiasm and expertise

The Klingspor Training Academy has been devised to push toward the two-fold goal of providing training to customers, while also inspiring them and turning them into true fans of the brand. “Our intention is to create enthusiasm and make certain that our customers receive the best possible tools to ensure their success,” emphasizes Ibraim Lapa, Director of Business Development at Kling-spor and Project Manager for the Klingspor Training Academy.

Expert expertise directly from the “Abrasive Experts”

Klingspor boasts a staff of “Abrasive Experts”, who apply their comprehensive expertise each and every day in a bid to further the development and optimization of abrasive products. This concen-trated competence qualifies Klingspor as the perfect broadcaster of knowledge in the field of abra-sives. At the Training Academy, these experts share their knowledge directly with the customers and ensure that users are always familiar with the latest techniques and applications. Ibraim Lapa is elated: “We are proud to pass on our expertise in this way and to offer our customers real added value.”

Real-world training for all trades

The training offer is geared towards all trades from the construction, wood, metal and transport sectors. The focus is on practical training that distinctly addresses the specific needs of the partici-pants. Whether they be craftsmen, skilled labourers, engineers or decision makers – all types of learners are sure to benefit from our academy. “Our academy constitutes a tailor-made offer that ideally supports the learning process and ensures the transfer of knowledge into everyday work,” Lapa continues. Aside from classic training courses, the Klingspor Training Academy relies on inno-vative learning methods that meet the needs of a variety of learning styles. From interactive work-shops to hands-on exercises directly on the machine - the offer is diverse and aimed at beginners and experienced professionals alike. Whether they prefer haptic, visual, auditory or communicative learning: Every attendant of the Klingspor Training Academy is supposed to receive the training that suits their needs best. 

Advanced online studio for live training sessions

A special highlight of the new academy is the state-of-the-art online studio, offering the ability to broadcast live training sessions in a professional manner. Klingspor thereby offers their customers the opportunity to also participate in training courses in a digital format, allowing them to benefit from expert knowledge regardless of their physical location. Combining practicality with modern technology, the studio ensures that knowledge is imparted in real time.

With the Klingspor Training Academy, the company reaffirms their claim to rank among the leading providers in the abrasive technology sector as well as their aspiration to become the provider of choice for skilled workers and specialists. “Our goal is to turn customers into enthusiastic users who are encouraged to achieve top performance with the knowledge and the products we make availa-ble to them,” concludes Ibraim Lapa.
