Partner Workshop 2026

Two days of discussions with our partners

At the OVUM Partner Workshop, we updated our specialist partners on the latest developments—and asked for their input. Feedback on marketing, software, engineering, sales, and products was collected at ten stations. The event also featured presentations, a factory tour, and an evening celebration themed“S’Ovumer Oktoberfest.”

Provide information and listen

The partner workshop has two objectives: We present our partners with the latest developments at OVUM, and we gather their feedback based on their day-to-day experience. After all, our specialist partners plan, install, and maintain the plants on-site—their experiences feed directly into our work.

Program featuring presentations, a workshop, and an evening event

one department in each area where feedback was collected

Discussion time per group and station

Day 1: Morning Presentations

The event began at 9 a.m. with opening remarks. This was followed by three presentations on technology and new developments.

  • greeting
    Official start of the partner workshop.
  • PVT Collectors – Guest Lecture by Consolar
    Andreas from Consolar provided an overview of PVT collectors.
  • The CUBIC
    , Peter, and Quirin introduced the modular CUBIC Heat Pump to our partners.
  • New Development: “The Efficiency Pilot”
    To wrap up the morning, Magdalena and Peter presented our new development, “The Efficiency Pilot.”

Ten stations,
ten departments

After the lunch break, things got interactive. The participants were divided into ten groups and assigned to the stations. Each station represented a different subject area. After ten minutes of discussion, it was time to move on—and so on until each group had visited every station. Among the topics discussed were:

  • Marketing and Sales
  • Service and Quality Assurance
  • CUBIC
  • Software
  • Design Improvements
  • and more

Factory Tour at OVUM

After each group had gone through all the stations, our partners headed over to OVUM. There, they were treated to a tour of the plant and a few cold drinks. Afterward, they went to the hotel to get ready for the evening.

S'OVE's Oktoberfest

S'OVE's Oktoberfest

In keeping with the evening’s theme, some guests even donned traditional costumes before heading to the Aschinger Alm. There, the Surfasslbuam welcomed the guests with music, and a light snack was served to kick things off. After Stefan and Peter tapped the traditional first keg of beer, the party began: everyone enjoyed a meal together, sang songs, and played music with the band.

The OVUM Shooting Competition

As a special event for the evening, we had planned a shooting competition. Participants competed in one-on-one matches until only one person remained from each group. Our OVUM team was there, too—and Fabian came out on top. After a thrilling final, the results were in:

  1. The prize goes to Nick
    (Klaus Albich Heating & Plumbing)
  2. First place goes to Leon
    (WärmeHochZwei)
  3. The award goes to Fabian
    (OVUM)
