We support the development of technologies according to the market and want to reach a leading position in the development and application of innovative and inexpensive processes.

We develop an international foundation of qualified employees and perform a co-operating work situation with an extensive team spirit and active assistance.

This encourages our employees to work independently and to contribute successfully to the realisation of the targets of the company. We offer competitive wages and attractive acknowledgement systems to promote teamwork and personal initiative.
