Just within the exact week of his 6‑year com­pany anni­ver­sary, Lukas Hei­ni­cke has alre­ady acqui­red two degrees and gai­ned a whole lot of pro­fes­sio­nal expe­ri­ence.

For a con­ti­nuously high qua­lity of our machi­nes we also invest in our own pro­duc­tion. The latest invest­ment was made in our mecha­ni­cal pro­duc­tion. The new 5‑axis mil­ling cen­ter (Nmill) means high pre­cis­ion and own machi­ning com­pe­tence to ensure the hig­hest qua­lity for our cus­to­mers.

Thank you for so many visi­tors and sup­port­ers at Maker Faire, which took place at the 18th of July in the city cen­ter of Chem­nitz. NSH Group spon­so­red the FABMOBIL (dou­ble-decker bus) at this crea­tive event. Digi­tal tech­no­lo­gies & machine tools were the two main topics in our show rooms. Espe­ci­ally future tech­no­lo­gies such as 3D prin­ting, robo­tics and pro­gramming were shown and we offe­red hands-on cour­ses as well. Our trai­nees also attrac­ted a lot of inte­rest with their self-desi­gned marble station.
