Competence - Details

Learning from the No. 1 in Austria

Our competence

• Since the setting up in the year 1995 more than 1.600 research and development projects have been done for customers in europa and america;
• 20 years of experience with R&D projects;
• Development for all industries which are essential in the economy e.g. automobile construction, aircraft industry, mechanical engineering, medical engineering, consumer goods, building industry, electric industry, sporting goods, sanitary industry;
• Permission of BOEING and AIRBUS for development in aviation;
• Linkage of basic knowlegde related to plastics to method competence;
• Strict observance of secrecy related to customers' know-how at all development projects and seminars is self-evident;
• Confidentiality and differentiation of the competitor is very substantial therefore we offer trainings related to customers' requirements.

Current centres of research of IB STEINER
