Research is the future – linking science and business regionally and internationally
Research and development are among the cornerstones of our company. As a pioneer in fluid bed technology, we have been continuously developing for more than 70 years. No application is standard; instead, we establish unique processes and technologies, successfully implementing our customers’ individual requirements.
We do not research for the sake of research, but for an expanded technology framework, new application areas and growth in every dimension. This is why, for example, we are involved in the German government’s InterSpiN+ high-tech strategy for the internationalization of leading-edge clusters, future projects and comparable networks. Glatt makes use of such cooperations and synergies and networks with science and industry both regionally and internationally.
Development projects and the resulting new paths are a sign of our competence and elementary for long-term corporate success. We thus offer our customers access to new and innovative processes for the manufacture of future-oriented products.
In addition to internal R&D topics or contract development for third parties, a particular focus is on basic development. Here, Glatt is a partner in various cooperation projects:
abonocare 3: A modularly combinable highly efficient technology chain for the fermentation of organic residues with integrated nutrient fractionation
