More than just a look behind the scenes: the South Tyrolean specialist in high-quality ice resurfacing machines allows customers to actively contribute to the assembly of their new service vehicles. The ice experts of Patinoire Kockelscheuer in Luxemburg spent two years looking for the perfect ice resurfacer that would tick all of their boxes. “We gave ourselves a lot of time to find our bearings in the market and visited a number of manufacturers. In the end, we decided on WM ice technics. Their innovative approach and beautifully designed ice resurfacers with their excellent handling, convenient maintenance and easy access to all functions impressed us all the way,” explains manager Lex Fautsch. The group from Luxemburg chose the high-performance Mammoth to prepare the ice in their arena to perfection. The Patinoire Kockelscheuer ice arena is home to a main hall with 2,200-visitor capacity, an 1800 m2 ice rink and a 450 m2 curling rink, annexed by a second ice rink with a 66
surface of 1,800 m2 and 450-visitor capacity. Alongside ice hockey, other sports practised in the arena include curling, figure skating, ice dance, short-track and ice stock sport. Inspiring exchange between manufacturer and users The six Luxemburgers – Pierre, Max, Sergio, Kim, Kevin A. and Kevin S. – also found an opportunity that they couldn’t let slip by. In the last two weeks of July 2021, they travelled down to the WM ice technics production site in South Tyrol, where the design, construction and assembly of their ice resurfacers are all carried out under one roof. Together with the skilled WM team, they themselves helped to put their ice resurfacer together. Bolt by bolt and part by part, the ice experts set to assembling under the watchful eye of the WM ice technics staff. sb 1/2022
