New ideas for sustainable products

Our R & D activities

We emphasise research and development, which is interlocked closely with business operations a all our production locations. Total spending by the group on research and development activities amounted to EUR 7.3 million in 2010, representing an increase of EUR 0.2 million on the previous year.

Setting and shaping trends

The focus of our research and development activities is on the one hand on optimising existing products and steadily improving their energy efficiency. On the other hand we seek to promote the evolution of existing sub-systems into integrated umbrella concepts.
