Industries - Technologies - Products

Being successful in the field of production technology requires the ability to overcome one’s limitations and the willingness to react fast and flexibly in the face of sudden changes. In our business units we take a close look on the strategic demands of different industries, being well known for our profound knowledge of their individual needs and scopes and for driving further developments.

In our business units we use the wide expertise of our departments and provide comprehensive solutions to our customers. Depending on the task we employ our enhanced network and involve partners, in particular the Fraunhofer CMI and the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering WZL of the RWTH Aachen University.
