Suebel Seals, with over 65 years in providing sealing solutions to all industrial sectors, have designed training programmes on sealing technology for their customers & distributors at their facility in Brussels, Belgium; Peterlee, U.K.; and Mumbai, India. The programme is suitable for users of seals, sales/purchase team members, techno-commercial personnel, application engineers, new recruits at our customers & distributors and for further skill development of your experienced team members.
As we know, the basic fundamentals of seals are not commonly taught in university curriculums; hence, these programmes are highly suitable for personnel in the sealing industry. This programme is not in complex engineering terminology but in simple terms that we deal with every day being in the sealing industry. This training programme can be added to the company’s ISO, ASME certification programmes.
