On 17 June 2025, students of the “Controlling” specialisation from the Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration visited the company EGGER together with Prof. Dr. Heuer. The visit began with a guided tour of the plant, where the production process from raw timber to finished laminate was explained in detail.
Afterwards, the group met with Mr. Mertens for an in-depth discussion on controlling practices within the company. The students had the opportunity to ask questions, gain practical insights and explore real-world figures.
The excursion gave participants a valuable look behind the scenes of a large industrial enterprise and helped link academic knowledge with practical business applications.
