We are always upgrading our R&D expertise and capacities in line with customer needs and market requirements, and are supported by a network of research partners within our group of companies, as well as external institutions. Our laboratory comprises wet-chemical and thermal-analysis equipment, laser diffraction equipment, environmental chambers, ESD testing devices, drop hammers, friction apparatus and more. As a result, we ensure compliance with REACH and CE guidelines, as well as the regulations of the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), from development onwards. We recognise the importance of R&D investments to our economic sustainability as a company and to building successful, long-term customer relationships.
