Customer voices
We carefully ensure that demand and performance are balanced and aligned with our customers’ needs.
Very impressed with the standard of slides and general professionalism of the seminar and material. Although we are doing the right things setting up and running process, the seminar reinforced the fundamentals behind this and highlighted critical issues to consider. Several "low hanging fruits" were identified that are relatively simple to implement but should improve our process. No cleaning of fine wedges for example.
The seminar was very interesting! There were numbers and expressions that I have never heard before, I think I will understand them when I work on the bonder, it was the first time this week. Didn't know what to look out for.
The calm way you explained it was great! Thank you
As always, the cooperation with you is excellent and we always learn new things that we can implement in our daily work.
It was an informative seminar with new insights. Stefan Schmitz was a great seminar leader. All wishes discussed in advance were addressed and fulfilled.
The seminar was very welcoming. We were able to ask company-related bond questions in a relaxed atmosphere, which were answered in detail. The knowledge is very broadly based.
It is always difficult to adjust the training when the knowledge level of the attendees is different, which was the case here since w/w and b/w bonding was combined. For me personally sometimes the progression was a bit to slow, but overall I think you did a very good job. I’ve learned many new important things that will help me understand my process better. This includes tips / tricks, but also the fundamentals (physics) behind the processes. Our answers could be answered very well all the time and sometimes there were very insightful small discussions. The presentation is very well structured and you are a nice speaker to listen to.

Frequently Asked Questions
In-house seminars are group sessions for multiple employees within or across departments of a company, tailored to address common challenges or goals. A 1:1 training, on the other hand, is a personalized, one-on-one experience focused exclusively on the needs of a single participant or a group of 2-3 with a very focused technical topic – at your machines or in our training room in Berlin. A 1:1 training emphasizes hands-on learning and practical application, while an in-house seminar is a cost-optimized way to train larger groups on technical details.
