Celebrating World Youth Skills Day at Oerlikon! 🎉 As we prepare to celebrate World Youth Skills Day, we want to cheer for another cohort of apprentices from Oerlikon Balzers who have successfully completed their apprenticeships! Among them, two exceptional individuals stood out for their remarkable achievements. Despite suffering a serious sports injury, Eric Frick achieved a record-breaking grade of 5.9 in his apprenticeship as an automation technician, the highest ever since the Oerlikon Golden Book was established in 1972. Eric showed incredible determination by taking his final theory exam at the hospital and receiving his award via livestream from the rehabilitation center. Another outstanding example is Patrick Oberer, who completed his apprenticeship as a polymechanic with a remarkable grade of 5.4. Both Eric and Patrick will be honored at Vaduz Castle in Liechtenstein on September 13, where they will sign the prestigious Golden Book of the Princely House. A big thank you to all the parents, friends, line managers, and vocational trainers who support our apprentices along the way in Balzers and all our other training centers. Congratulations to all our graduates on this significant achievement. We wish you all the best in your future careers! #WorldYouthSkillsDay #EarlyCareers #Apprenticeships

In 1969, Oerlikon Balzers collaborated with NASA on the Apollo 11 moon landing, providing a coating that shielded astronauts and sensitive equipment from cosmic rays. Throughout our long history in the U.S., we have recognized the enormous potential of the American market, its global reach, and its technological affinity.
