Customer story – Language training built for a manufacturing workforce

About the customer

Exelliq is a leading supplier of extrusion lines, tooling, and complete systems for profile extrusion, serving profile manufacturers worldwide. Headquartered in Nußbach, Austria, with operations across Europe and the United States, the company combines decades of engineering expertise with advanced automation, digital solutions, and a strong focus on customer-specific extrusion technology.

As an internationally operating technology partner, Exelliq works closely with customers, colleagues, and partners across markets and cultures. Effective communication in English is therefore an important part of everyday collaboration, from technical discussions and project coordination to customer meetings and international teamwork.

The challenge

With employees working in different roles, locations, and international contexts, Exelliq wanted to offer English training that could respond to individual needs and different proficiency levels.

Traditional group classes had proven hard to sustain: fixed schedules rarely fit around day-to-day business, customer projects, travel, production requirements, and shifting workloads, while a single class pace cannot easily address different learning needs and proficiency levels.

Exelliq was therefore looking for a modern and flexible learning solution that employees could integrate independently into their working day while providing relevant practice at the appropriate individual level.

Why Talkpal

Talkpal fit the requirement because it supports a flexible and self-directed approach to language learning. There’s no class to book and no fixed timetable: employees can practise speaking whenever it suits them, on web or mobile.

The AI tutor adapts to each learner’s level, allowing employees to focus on the areas most relevant to their individual development.

And because the focus is on real conversation – including role-plays for professional situations – employees can practise English in scenarios that reflect real-life communication at work and build confidence for international interactions.

“So far, our colleagues have been very happy with Talkpal. The platform is easy to use, flexible, and has made it much easier to practice speaking skills whenever it fits into their daily schedule.” – Human Resources Team, Exelliq.

The outcome

For Exelliq, one of the key benefits is the flexibility of the learning approach. Employees can integrate English practice into their individual schedules instead of having to adapt their workday to fixed training sessions. This lowers the barrier to continuous learning and supports Exelliq’s broader commitment to employee development and effective international collaboration.

By giving employees the opportunity to practise when and where it works best for them, Exelliq is creating a practical learning environment that reflects the realities of a modern, internationally connected technology company.
