From our own responsibility, we already support training facilities for years during their different tasks. Many facilities use our machines, in order to train people in bookbinding techniques. It does not only concern bookbinders, but also printers, commercial graphic artists etc. and pupils attending art classes in school or handicapped.


At the 100 year anniversary of the Munich School for Masters of the bookbinding craft



In the future we plan a closer co-operation with institutions, those in the bookbinding handicraft and the related crafts, as well as schools and universities which have their emphasis in bookbinding related education.
We have very good relations with many facilities abroad, which we support as much as possible. In the future we will report on our activities here.
