In-house Ent­wick­lung, For­schung und Ko­ope­ra­tio­nen

Das IFTA Pro­dukt­port­fo­lio be­ruht auf mehr als zwei Jahr­zehn­ten Er­fah­rung und einer kon­ti­nu­ier­li­chen Wei­ter­ent­wick­lung durch mo­der­ne For­schung.

IFTA ver­fügt über eine ei­ge­ne R&D-Ab­tei­lung. Ein Haupt­ziel der For­schun­gen ist der Ge­winn neuer Er­kennt­nis­se über die Ur­sa­chen von Schwin­gun­gen und deren Ver­mei­dung. In­no­va­ti­ve Lö­sungs­we­ge wer­den mit­tels un­se­rer Ent­wick­lun­gen va­li­diert. Un­se­re For­schung ist die Trieb­fe­der für Pro­duk­te, die eine hohe Wirt­schaft­lich­keit und Qua­li­tät er­fül­len.

Die IFTA GmbH wurde im Rah­men eines For­schungs­pro­jek­tes ge­grün­det und auch heute noch spie­len For­schungs­ko­ope­ra­tio­nen eine große Rolle im Un­ter­neh­men. Die Zu­sam­men­ar­beit mit nam­haf­ten Uni­ver­si­tä­ten im Rah­men von na­tio­na­len und EU-For­schungs­ko­ope­ra­tio­nen ist dabei ein un­ver­zicht­ba­rer Be­stand­teil un­se­rer In­no­va­ti­ons­stär­ke.
