Hermle has recently organised an Open House in Gosheim. This event attracted roughly 2800 visitors from 1200 companies. The event also attracted an increased number of guests from overseas. Hermle AG welcomed more than 800 international visitors during the four-day Open House event. The largest delegations came from the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, Russia, the Netherlands, Denmark and Turkey.

More than 20 interesting components from various sectors illustrated outstanding performance of the company's products. For example, a ship's propeller, motorcycle rims, engine components and various tool and mould making dies were showcased. Visitors were also able to have a look at traditional show highlights such as a sink machined precisely from a 260 kg block of aluminium and weighing just 40 kg once finished, the machining of a titanium blisk from an aeroplane engine measuring 800 mm in diameter and an intricate fan impeller which was re-manufactured for a 1959 Porsche Junior tractor.
