Second-year Mechatronics Engineering students visit the Ulma Packaging facilities
The visit focused on the technologies of the packaging design and manufacturing process.
The students of the 2nd year of the Degree in Mechatronic Engineering of the Arrasate campus have visited the facilities of the company Ulma Packaging, a Guipuzcoan company that is a leader in the design and manufacture of automated packaging plants.
During the visit, the students have learned about the different businesses of Ulma Packaging and have been able to see first-hand the technologies that they use for the design and manufacture of packaging equipment. Several former students of the Degree in Mechatronic Engineering and current Ulma Packaging employees were in charge of guiding the visit.
The close collaboration that the Polytechnic School of Mondragon maintains with Ulma Packaging allows a large number of students of vocational training cycles and engineering degrees to carry out their dual training in the company every year. Thus, the visit allowed the mechatronics students to get to know one of the companies where they will be able to carry out dual training from the next course.
