Active research and innovation are an important part of our corporate policy. We regularly invest in research in order to be able to offer our customers innovative and modern production facilities. Therefore we are especially pleased about the award "Innovative through Research" by the Stifterverband!
Since 2014, the Stifterverband has been honoring research-based companies with the "Innovative through Research" seal for the special responsibility they assume for the state and society. The Stifterverband is the joint initiative of companies and foundations that is the only one to provide holistic advice, networking and support in the fields of education, science and innovation.
Innovation nation Germany - the role of companies
"Every year, the science statistics of the Stifterverband collects the figures on research and development of companies and institutions for joint research in Germany. "The most recent survey showed that industry and government together spent more than 100 billion euros on research and development in 2018. Together we are thus ensuring that Germany is one of the leading innovation nations. The German economy has a decisive role to play in this: two thirds of research and development expenditure is provided by companies.*1
