As a supporter of the Grinder of the Year 2026 (GOTY) competition for young talent at Grinding Hub 2026 in Stuttgart, filter specialist Vomat from Treuen is investing in the future of grinding technology together with other renowned technology providers and positioning itself against the shortage of skilled workers.

With their involvement in Grinder of the Year 2026, the KSS experts at Vomat, together with strong partners such as the main sponsor United Machining Solution, want to send a clear message: the entire process chain is important for top-quality tools, and the future of the industry requires dedicated specialists. Steffen Strobel, Technical Sales Manager at Vomat: “As co-sponsor of GOTY 2026, Vomat is contributing its expertise at precisely this interface. The competition shows that top quality in tool grinding is always the result of a perfectly coordinated overall system. For us, this commitment is a logical consequence of our own self-image: promoting enthusiasm for technology, process knowledge, and quality thinking at an early stage.”

The Grinder of the Year competition for young talent has been held since Grinding Hub 2024. Organized by the PR and advertising agency KSKOMM, the challenge offers young grinding talents a platform to demonstrate their technical skills, their understanding of processes, and their confident use of modern grinding technology. Grinding is carried out on the Helitronic Mini Plus from Walter, which provides participants with state-of-the-art machine technology as the competition machine.

The GOTY is therefore aimed specifically at young professionals and trainees in the DACH region. The aim is to make the multifaceted job profile of grinding specialists in metalworking more visible, attractive, and technologically tangible, thereby helping to counteract the shortage of young talent and skilled workers. Through the interaction of machines, peripherals, and process partners, the competition demonstrates in a practical way how crucial the smooth interaction of all components is for reproducible grinding results. It brings young grinding talents together with leading technology partners in the industry and highlights how closely interlinked the individual process steps are in practice.

Vomat will be exhibiting at Grinding Hub in Hall 7, Booth D80, where it will be showcasing high-performance solutions for fine filtration of cooling lubricants. At the GOTY competition booth (Hall 9, Booth D45), the focus will be on the entire tool manufacturing process chain with the Grinder of the Year 2026 competition for young talent.
