Our Role as Technology Incubator: Sustainable Product Development Through to Market Rollout.

Our experts have in-depth knowledge of the wood industry, chemistry, wood physics, wood mechanics, bonding technology and adhesive applications, nanobiology and material sciences. With a comprehensive scientific background and many years of development experience, we deliver competitive solutions.

We guide innovations through all development phases up to commercial rollout – starting with product development, design and then prototyping, through small-batch production, followed by patent protection (IPR) and the certification processes required for distribution. This gives us a leading edge in the world of complete wood-based technology solutions.

Our seasoned specialists have comprehensive expertise in business management, marketing and sales. This means we are well-positioned to develop robust business models that promise to deliver long-term success. This process also includes a thorough analysis of your future viability in terms of scalability and profitability.
