In the commitment to nurturing the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers, AESSEAL proudly sponsors the 2024 Get Up To Speed with STEM (GUTS) event for the seventh consecutive year.

This longstanding partnership underscores AESSEAL's unwavering dedication to fostering a passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) among young minds and empowering them to shape a brighter future.

Organised by The Work-wise Foundation, GUTS strives to introduce young people to the diverse world of work and provides a platform for businesses to connect with the upcoming generation. On Wednesday, 20th March, students from various schools in South Yorkshire attended Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham for this enlightening event.

AESSEAL hosted a hands-on mechanical seal workshop, giving students the opportunity to build their own mechanical seals and gain insights into the modular components incorporated within the technology.
