These training modules are dedicated to the selection of sealing solutions with a focus on their implementation and good practices in the assembly of equipment, a guarantee of security for your personnel and equipment reliability. Our training courses include a theoretical approach and a practical approach which allow you to discover the design and technical specificities of sealing systems. They are organised for groups of 6 participants maximum at our production site in Brou (France) or on the customer's premises.
