Research & Development
FOR NEW STANDARDS IN POLYMER PROCESSING
REHAU research and development supports the construction, automotive and industry business units in their goal to always offer the customer optimum added utility and added value. To do this, we develop new materials, formulations and processes up to series readiness. The interaction between application technology and laboratories, between process technology and our own tool and machine construction shop, between sales and marketing ensures solutions which meet the needs of the market, are customer-specific and, above all, are of the highest quality.
The performance and application possibilities of polymer-based solutions are closely tied to the potentials of the materials involved. Starting with basic assessments, REHAU creates tailor-made formulations based on polymers in order to expand the existing product spectrum and to find ideas for new applications. In this regard, material combinations are increasingly moving to the foreground. Thus, renewable raw materials such as wood, hemp or jute are combined with polymers in the same way as are metallic materials to concertedly expand, adapt and optimize the spectrum of characteristics. Aside from new materials, innovative processes also contribute to our corporate success. They provide the means of offering customer-oriented solutions which current processes are only able to achieve at great expense, if at all.
To turn ideas into products requires a modern and active product management in the areas of research and development. New ideas are generated, evaluated and turned into products which are in line with market demands and offer customer utility. A vital prerequisite for developing solutions which can be implemented from the pool of ideas is the ability to bundle the know-how of a wide variety of experts together with clearly defined goals and results coupled with simultaneous market screening.
