12.01.2022 – Wir support the Children's Hospice in Stuttgart
This year, our Donation is once again helping to provide Small Moments of Happiness for seriously ill children and their families. We support this great work, because for us this commitment has a very High Value.
The Children's Hospice in Stuttgart is a space of tranquility, retreat and attentive support for Children suffering from a life-shortening disease and for their Families. The house – a renovated Art Noveau villa – is located on the outskirts of the city, with a wide view over Stuttgart and the surrounding valleys. The Team of the Children's Hospice is working at full speed under the current aggravating conditions to ensure an All-round Safe Stay for the residents and to create a Place of Well-being for them.
You can find more information on the Children's Hospice Stuttgart here.

27 October 2020: Get ready for Digital Manufacturing
The rising rate of Corona infections has made us worry in the last days. Now it is certain: Due to the negative development of the corona incidence rates, the GrindTec cannot be carried out in November this year.
We are sad about it. We have been looking forward to finally see each other again. However, the reason for it is 100% Plausible. In the first place, we now have to Protect the people around us and ourselves and thus help to contain the Corona Pandemic as good as possible.
Cheer up!
No reason for us to stick our heads in the sand: We from ISBE take it now more than ever as a reason to push your business towards Digital Manufacturing and so prepare you for the current time and for the Future. Because this is exactly what is demanded of us now!
Digital Manufacturing now!
Be excited about a Revival of our Web Seminars and many more Digital Surprises! We show you how Digitization is possible in your company. Are you ready for it?
