FAKUMA 2026: Career Friday

At the Career Friday “Mold your dreams, mold your future” at FAKUMA on October 16, 2026, more than 60 apprentices and trainers will strengthen the ARBURG trade fair team in Friedrichshafen and showcase the wide range of career opportunities available at the innovative family-owned company. Special booth tours focusing on the Smartest Factory as well as a prize draw will be offered for young people. In addition, the “swimming professor” and ARBURG brand ambassador Prof. Andreas Fath will be on site.

Booth tours

ARBURG’s trade fair presence is centered entirely on the “Smartest Factory.” As part of booth tours with ARBURG apprentices, Career Friday participants (October 16, 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.) can experience that ARBURG offers the full spectrum when it comes to digitalisation: from innovative injection molding technologies featuring smart assistants and AI-supported features to efficient automation and turnkey systems, right through to the digital networking of the entire production process. The apprentices will explain how all of these elements interact perfectly and work together along the value chain, as well as present the apprenticeships and degree programs offered by ARBURG.

Visitors to the booth can also try out a virtual welding robot using VR goggles, which is used in training. Anyone wishing to take a direct look from Friedrichshafen into the company headquarters in Loßburg can fold a 3D viewer, attach it to a smartphone, and embark on a virtual 360-degree tour through the ARBURG Vocational Training Center. Young booth visitors can also take part in a prize draw with the chance to win one of three pairs of tickets to Europa-Park Rust. In addition, every participant will receive an attractive giveaway.

Unique ARBURG apprenticeship program – applying is worth it

ARBURG offers a unique apprenticeship concept that has been triple-certified for quality. Over the past 75 years, the company has prepared around 2,400 young people for professional life. Naturally, a team of trainers and career professionals will also be present in Friedrichshafen, where interested visitors can conveniently apply directly on the FAKUMA Career Day for an apprenticeship, a degree program, or direct entry into a professional career.
