As part of an effort to intensify their collaborative efforts to develop innovative reinforced polymer solutions for industry, molding machinery manufacturer Dieffenbacher GmbH & Co. KG (Eppingen, Germany) and Fraunhofer ICT (Pfinztal, Germany) have committed to relocate their jointly-operated technology center, formerly in Eppingen, to a new location. The relocated center is scheduled to open in 2010. Material and process research, product engineering and production-scale prototyping are in the works and reportedly will benefit potential customers who take advantage of the new center’s facilities to train their employees or to conduct pilot programs and/or product development efforts.
