Process development Innovative solutions for your production
© DF.FotografieWe are a competent and experienced partner for the development, optimisation and implementation of plastics processing. With our many years of expertise, state-of-the-art technology and interdisciplinary know-how, we offer tailor-made solutions for all material groups and processing methods.
We work with you to develop economical and robust manufacturing processes. Our range of services includes:

Diverse materials and processes: We develop and optimise processes for thermoplastics, elastomers, thermosets, fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP), polyurethanes (PU) and recyclates.
Concept development for new processes and products: Our experts accompany you from the idea to the implementation of innovative manufacturing concepts.
Process and material analysis: We analyse, develop and optimise materials and processes right through to the finished product.
Special procedures and special processes: From back-injection and foaming to the production of UD tapes and fiber winding – we also implement challenging special projects.
Feasibility studies: Whether welding or complex manufacturing processes, we check the feasibility and deliver reliable results.
Quality control and process modeling: We guarantee maximum precision through process modeling and state-of-the-art quality control methods.
Machine learning and digitalization: Our audits and optimizations rely on AI-supported technologies to sustainably improve your processes.
Process development for recyclates: We develop innovative methods for processing recyclates and support you on your way to sustainable production.
