Research and Development

Our aspiration for technological leadership and highest product quality requires continuous improvement and development of our products and a permanent search for the products of tomorrow. As a consequence, we focus on research and development as a key part of our business strategy.

We see it as a necessity to constantly question our processes and our products. Our actions are driven by our principle of always having the benefit for our customers in mind. We are not content with good enough – our employees strive for innovative solutions for existing and new requirements.

Especially for research and development, a close cooperation with our customers and our stakeholders but also with national and international research- and educational institutions is essential. Only by having multiple points of view on the subject at hand, we can ensure the best result.


"Creativity is seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought."
