Schleuniger Oktoberfest Celebration and Open House a Huge Success!


On September 19, 2014, Schleuniger, Inc., a leading international manufacturer of high-precision wire processing machines, hosted an Oktoberfest themed open house at its headquarters in Manchester, NH. Cirris Systems, Fiber Optic Center, Inc., Gem Gravure, Panduit and Telsonic Ultrasonics exhibited at the event.



Enthusiastic guests were greeted by Schleuniger employees dressed in Oktoberfest themed attire and were given an Oktoberfest T-Shirt and glass liter beer stein to get in the spirit themselves.



The event’s special guest, City of Manchester Mayor, Ted Gatsas, helped kick off the celebration by tapping the keg and sharing the first beer with Schleuniger VP, Technical Service , Marc Lussier. Opa’s Oompah Band performed throughout the afternoon as guest dined on a traditional German buffet in our very own “Biergarten” and tried their luck at a game of corn hole or penalty kick soccer. Many also participated in one of the “Masskrugstemmen” (beer stein holding contests) held throughout the day.



All six exhibiting companies provided live product demonstrations showcasing the latest in wire processing, cable testing, marking and coding, end to end wire management solutions and ultrasonic welding to the large crowd of attendees.



The technical seminars were very well received and a highlight for many guests. Presentations included:


  •  “Wire Processing Quality” presented by Schleuniger


  •  “Ultrasonic Welding for Wire Harnesses” presented by Telsonic Ultrasonics


  •  “Success Depends on the Crimp” presented by Panduit


  •  “Marking Simplified – Ink Jet Beyond” presented by Gem Gravure


  •  “S.WOP – Software for Wire Optimized Production” presented by Schleuniger


Several raffles were held throughout the day with Erik Rothkopf from Inside Track Cabling winning the grand prize iPad Air and Bose Wi-Fi music system.



All who attended had a great time and were impressed with the level of information and education available to them during the event. Schleuniger would to thank all attendees and partners who participated in the event and made it a huge success!
