Reference Projects
National and European Funded Projects
Within the context of funded projects we actively partake in future-oriented technology development and Germany- and Europe-wide knowledge, do technological advanced research on innovative and demanded procedures and equipment, and contribute as small midsize enterprise to the consolidation of Europe and Germany as locations for science and progress.
