Under the motto “high class training specifically ded-icated to high class technology”, EBNER supports both success and the development of competencies at its customers with modern, individually-tailored training concepts.

The historic flooding that took place in July, 2021 caused damage to an extent never before seen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
