In addition to pursuing R&D within its established product segments, the ElringKlinger Group strives to continuously expand its development activities in the New Business Areas division. Within this context, ElringKlinger intends to draw on its existing experience and know-how in metals and plastics processing, as well as its demonstrable expertise in the field of materials, tooling and technology processes. When it comes to establishing new fields of business, we focus solely on projects and products that are likely to make a significant technological contribution on the basis of existing competencies and development methods.
A proportion of the costs incurred by the New Business Areas division in 2011 was covered by government grants and development partnerships.
