Description

Our experts are ready to reveal the secrets of lightweight design. Discover how we intelligently combine innovative materials using automated processes to create lightweight products as efficiently as possible. Don’t miss the chance to witness a live demonstration of a fiber-reinforced component being produced in just seconds on a 3,000-ton press!

For our young adventurers, we offer a special children's program that’s not only fun but also educational. We believe that even the youngest explorers can shape the future. Through playful learning and creative inspiration, we lay the foundation for understanding sustainability and innovation.
From plastic recycling to building crash structures out of paper and cardboard – young minds can unleash their creativity while picking up valuable life lessons along the way.
