Frankfurt am Main – October 31, 2026 -- Fabio Schoppet, a 28-year-old apprentice at K.H. Müller Präzisionswerkzeuge GmbH, won the two-day live "Grinder of the Year" (GOTY) competition at GrindingHub in Stuttgart on May 6-7. He beat Max Bergner (2nd), Laurin Mink (3rd) and Arman Hamidi (4th). Finalists received education vouchers worth between 3,000 and 500 euros.
Organizer KSKomm runs the contest to promote young talent and counter the skilled-labor shortage in grinding technology. Managing Director Barbara Hannappel said the live format lets trade-fair visitors watch a drawing become a precision tool step by step.
