The perfect product today will always be replaced by a new product tomorrow, and we take the lead in this never-ending search for innovation.
To facilitate innovation, we have our own R&D department where we develop new and improved products and processes. We have access to all known development tools and equipment, in-house. Our design and engineering teams have access to a modern prototype lab with 3D-printers and vacuum-casting equipment as well as a modern, well equipped, lab for mechanical testing and qualifications. We have a specialised lab equipped for testing and analysing the polymers in use, to be able to optimise the products as well as verifying and securing the quality of our input materials.
R&D is a central part of our company, with strategic importance. When we develop new products, we always design for manufacturing. To secure the best quality and the optimal processability of the products we have experienced workers as part of the development team. For us this is very important, because then we can reuse and implement elements of best practice from production as well as the creativity of the designers and engineers are going through an internal benchmark, that secure the future success of our innovations.
