This week, the startup teams of the current Batch 6 of our accelerator program had the opportunity to participate in what has become a tradition in the program: a guided tour of the?KNIPEX factory. The medium-sized company from the Circular Valley region is the world market leader for high-quality pliers and at the same time a family-run business in its fourth generation. During the tour, we gathered many interesting insights into the company, whose products some of the participants use themselves: For example, it's fascinating to learn that there are more than 50 different steps involved in making a pair of pliers. The group was amazed at the dedication to perfect quality they witnessed in each of these steps. Despite increasing automation and the use of modern machinery, the number of workers is increasing due to the growth of the company. In addition, many steps cannot be performed by robots. And because it's a challenge to find skilled workers, the company places a high value on employee training. Thanks to Ralf Putsch, Barbara Meimeth and the Knipex team for the hospitality, the valuable insights and the fantastic conversations.

Thank you Ralf Putsch and the whole Knipex team for again welcoming a Circular Valley batch. At Knipex you are leading the way in so many dimensions. The world's leader in plyers, innovating and producing in Germany. Plus thinking about multiple ways how you can close material loops, from collecting clean streams of punching remnants to cleaning up rivers in India together with Plastic Fisher. Thank you for being our Circular Valley partner!
