Research & Development

Development department

Our development department is the heart of our innovative strength. Here, an interdisciplinary team of highly qualified engineers, designers and technologists work together to develop pioneering solutions and improve existing products. We use state-of-the-art technologies and adaptable methods to respond quickly and efficiently to market requirements and implement individual customer wishes. With a strong focus on practical solutions and continuous training, we ensure that our products always meet the highest standards and drive technological progress.

Research and funding projects

Participation in innovative funding projects - particularly in the aviation industry - opens up a wide range of opportunities for us as a medium-sized manufacturing company that go far beyond direct financial support. By supporting such projects, we can deepen and expand our technological expertise, which gives us a decisive advantage in global competition. The aviation industry is characterized by constant technological progress, and in order to remain competitive in the long term, it is essential to actively participate in the development of new technologies and processes.

Another key aspect for us is the opportunity to establish international networks and build strategic partnerships. By collaborating with leading companies, research institutes and universities from all over the world, we can not only benefit from their expertise, but also contribute our own innovations and solutions to a global environment.

Last but not least, participating in innovative funding projects helps to promote our culture of innovation internally. Involving our employees in such projects motivates and inspires them, as they are given the opportunity to contribute to pioneering developments and further develop their own skills. This not only increases the satisfaction and loyalty of our employees, but also the innovative strength and competitiveness of our company as a whole.
