Research & Development

When developing new products our focus is always on the specific wishes and needs of our customers. As a strong engineering partner we build close, trusting partnerships with our internationally active customers, working together to identify customised solutions.

In addition to this, we provide a comprehensive range of services to realise successful products, all based on our specific development expertise:

  • Pre-development
  • Concept development
  • Simulation of product functions
  • Design and manufacturing of prototypes
  • Execution of small and large batch product runs
  • Validation of components and systems
  • In-house tool maintenance and servicing

When developing products, the fundamental principles of sustainability play a central role. In line with this, we promote sustainable product solutions by optimising functions and costs; reducing weight and improving aerodynamics and materials.

Customer satisfaction is our primary motivation. Consistent innovation management in the field of research and development allows us to create the conditions required to continue to offer the best products based on ecologically and economically responsible guidelines in the future.

We continuously review and optimise our development and manufacturing processes. Visionary concepts, simulations, materials and process technologies help us to do this. Our outstanding reputation as an innovative company is based on our future-proof solutions for electromobility, hydrogen technology and conventional applications.
