Two SWEP trainees have had an enjoyable and exciting year, working on varied projects in many departments and traveling extensively.

Trainees picking up knowledge around the globe

It has been a busy year for Wei Gu from Nanjing, China, and David Persson from Malmö, Sweden, with plenty of work and visits to exciting places.

The trainees' time has been divided into three periods offering different experiences and opportunities.

Wei Gu's first period was spent in the Landskrona production facility, where he worked on a project about information flows with the aim of improving communication at the plant. He also visited SWEP's plant in Košice, Slovakia.

“I participated in the daily work, for instance at the claims lab,” Wei says. “I learned a lot about SWEP products, and the various functions at the Landskrona plant, in those three months.”

David Persson spent his first period learning more about SWEP's Hub Europe at the sales office in Hildesheim, Germany. He then moved on to Landskrona, and eventually to the company's sales office in Harwell, in the UK.

“I learned about the calculation software SSP, BPHE technology and the theory and logistics involved in shipping BPHEs from the Central European Warehouse,” David says. Like his trainee colleague, David concluded his first period at SWEP with a visit to the Mostra exhibition in Italy.

David spent his second period in heat transfer research in Landskrona, working on a new heat pump rig. Meanwhile, Wei went home to China to work at SWEP's sales representative office in Guangzhou.

Wei finished his traineeship in Landskrona, working with product management, while David ended his by going to Malaysia to work at the SWEP plant in Kuala Lumpur, where he studied production flows.
