KELLER advocates for Quality Education (Throwback 1981)
“Because the city of Wuppertal had no money for a CNC lathe, I asked Wuppertal’s entrepreneurs for donations […]. In the meantime, the district president threatened disciplinary proceedings – and after the campaign was successfully completed, there was even praise from them!” says Siegfried Keller, our company founder.
Even before he founded R. & S. KELLER GmbH, the trained machine technician and vocational school teacher in the field of metal technology was tirelessly committed to providing young people with a good education, regardless of their background and status – and one that is also fun!
In the photo you can see Mr. Keller next to the Gildemeister NEF280 with FANUC Mate, which he was able to purchase for his students thanks to donations (134,420 DM*). The square pictures on the wall, which served as support when programming the cycles, are still an integral part of our SYMplus™ CNC software today as “Help screens”.
