Voortman Steel Group Excursion @ Ozonstraat 1, Rijssen 5
Tuesday 4 Feb 2025 from 11:45 until 16:00
Do you remember the Voortman Lunch Lecture? Britt van Oosten talked about a problem that she worked on: Voortman has a machine that can cut out shapes out of metal sheets. Voortman wants to minimise the amount of metal wasted, which results in an optimization problem similar to the binpacking problem.
Well now is your chance to take a look in the factory of Voortman! Come join us in Rijssen and see what Voortman has to offer.
The way to arrive in Rijssen is going to be by train and bus. We will leave from the Abacus room at 11:45. We will take the train of 12:09 from Enschede Kennispark headed to Zwolle. In Nijverdal, we will take bus 96 towards Rijssen. We will leave the bus at the busstop Spoelerstraat, Rijssen. The exact address of Voortman is Ozonstraat 1, Rijssen.
Around 16:00 the excursion will end and we will travel back to Abacus/home.
The costs of travelling to and travelling back from the excursion can be reimbursed.
If you have any questions, please message Patrick of the board.
