Research & Development

“I studied technology. Very broadly. But I liked organic chemical engineering, and polymer engineering in particular, the most. Simply because you can modify these materials frequently. Adapt them. Bend them to your will. For whatever our customers need. After all, they are very long molecules. Think of them as long spaghetti strings of information you can keep modifying.

For instance, a customer asks for a product that is also UV-resistant. Or one that absorbs radiation. We then brainstorm, research, test and analyse with our group of R&D people. In short, puzzling. Until we have the solution. And that one question from that one customer then often leads to a whole new specialist product in our range. Or to new processes.”
