Research & Development

The fascination for high-tech

fionec regularly collaborates with partners from the business and academic communities on R&D projects. Through this exchange of knowledge and creative ideas, we keep up with the latest technological developments. This allows us to provide our customers with innovative products that meet the highest of quality standards.

Environment of excellence

Operating from its base at Aachen, fionec GmbH also benefits from its integration into the top-quality R&D environment of the local technical elite university, the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH). Also, during several years of intensive development activities at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT, close ties have been established with the scientists and engineers at the IPT Department for Production Metrology and Quality Management.
