PIT goes Mallorca!

Sometimes the best ideas arise spontaneously – as was the case at the beginning of the year, when our CEO Katrin Himmelsbach had an idea that quickly made waves: an English course – but not just any English course.

Instead of a gray seminar room and filter coffee, this time it would be learning with a sea view.

And so Katrin Himmelsbach, Operations Manager Jan Trenkle, Quality Manager Oliver Cvetkovic, and Supply Chain Manager Ali Reza Bikineh headed off to Mallorca!

On May 18, 2025, the PIT team set off from Stuttgart Airport for a very special week. The English course was held in collaboration with the Alpha Institute – an intensive language training program that not only expanded their vocabulary but also boosted their team spirit.

Between 900 new vocabulary words, daily English sessions of up to 10 hours a day, and exciting excursions, the four discovered the beauty of the island. Whether visiting the impressive aquarium in Palma, the mystical Dragon Cave, strolling through a local market, or taking a ride on the historic train to the old town of Sóller – one thing was clear: communication was exclusively in English.

This special mix of learning and experiencing made the trip a complete success – with lots of know-how and wonderful memories in their luggage, the team returned to Stuttgart on May 23.

A big thank you goes to the Alpha Institute, which made this trip not only a language adventure, but also a real adventure!
