Girls’ Day – Girls’ Future Day 2025

An unforgettable day: Girls’ Day at IMM Photonics

With a warm welcome from Christian Pritzl, Chief Operating Officer, we started Girls’ Day at our plant in Teisnach full of anticipation!

Both schoolgirls were welcomed with open arms and given an exciting tour of the plant. An important safety briefing was on the agenda, which also included valuable information on ESD protective clothing. After all, safety first!

Cleanroom adventure: a look behind the scenes

Equipped with special cleanroom clothing, the girls went into the ISO 6 class cleanroom. Here, the schoolgirls learned about the special requirements and working methods of a cleanroom.

Their manual skills were also put to the test, as they were allowed to try their hand at gluing lenses under the strict cleanroom conditions. A real adventure for the young talents!

A little refreshment and then off to the collimators!

After a well-earned break during which they fortified themselves with delicious buttered pretzels, the girls were full of energy to work on collimators. They had the opportunity to understand how these important optical components work and how they are constructed, and to get hands-on themselves. It was impressive how quickly they got to grips with the material!

A great moment – soldering with skill and precision

The highlight of the day was soldering! Here the participants were able to demonstrate their skill and precision by making their own workpieces. A real feeling of pride and success – when they held their creations in their hands! To round off the day, the girls received their self-made workpieces and promotional materials as a memento of this special day.
