“I didn’t know that Bayer had so many different products across Consumer Health, Crop Science and Pharmaceuticals,” said Michael Kossik, one of the IREM students in attendance. “It was interesting to hear about Bayer’s operations in the U.S. and how things differ by location.”
On Monday, October 22, twenty-one Industrial Real Estate Management (IREM) master program students from the University of Stuttgart in Germany received a first-hand look at the operations, design, and layout of Bayer’s Radiology site located just outside of Pittsburgh, PA in Indianola.
The visit was part of a two-week trip the students embarked on across the U.S. with stops at various German-owned companies to learn about different industrial buildings, designs, and site operations. The tour was coordinated by Soviana Joelie, Master Program Coordinator at the University of Stuttgart; Matthias Muckle, Head of U.S. Real Estate, Bayer U.S.; and Jacob DeToma and Dennis Hurley from Indianola’s site management and engineering team.
