In company Pocinkovalnica, the cooperation with secondary schools is standard practice. At least once during the period of secondary education , each generation of secondary students of technical programmes probably visits company Pocinkovalnica and gets acquainted with the advantages of hot dip galvanizing of steel constructions in comparison to the protection with painting.

In October, we were visited by the first-year students of Secondary school of Mechanical Engineering Novo mesto and their companions. The hot dip galvanizing process was demonstrated to the students with the theoretical lecture and visit of the production by Head of production Sašo Zupanc and Head of technology Matija Založnik. The students saw the entire process of performing hot dip galvanizing services. In the first place, the visit of company Pocinkovalnica gives the students an idea of what can be hot dip galvanized, but they can also see the practical operation of the hot dip galvanizing system.

Already in secondary schools, it is important to keep the students informed about the most effective and ecologically friendly anti-corrosive protection. Thus, the importance and the advantages of the protection of steel constructions with hot dip galvanizing is presented to the younger generation who will with its acquired knowledge definitely take active part in decisions about the selection of steel constructions’ protection in the coming years.

In this way, our practical knowledge is passed on the secondary students and by this we contribute to higher awareness as well the younger generation as the wider public about very important segment in the stage of processing of metals or creating the final products made of them.
