Powder design
Are you looking for a development partner to create a tailored design of your next generation of powder materials?
As a pioneer in the development of customized particle systems, we can guide you through the development and manufacture of high-performance powders, tailored exactly to your particular application, at our laboratory in Weimar, using our groundbreaking powder synthesis technology.
With this novel powder synthesis technique, our interdisciplinary team is able to tailor your specific material properties – such as stoichiometry, phase composition, crystallinity, activity, and particle structure (porosity, pore size, pore distribution, and surface functionality) – in a way that enables your high-performance materials to achieve the results you are looking for. The process is scalable to suit each specific customer and allows you to not only manufacture your innovative products on a cost-effective, industrial scale, but also launch them on the market quickly.
Benefit from our innovative powder synthesis technology when creating your trailblazing materials and developing your unique products. We are with you every step of the way – from the initial concept to rapid launch on the market.
Feasibility tests
In our process laboratory, we offer you the opportunity to test your product on the technical feasibility with our processes and to optimize the process according to your specific requirement. The way you want it.
Various methods, extensive procedural know-how and state of the art equipment are available for the innovative development of your products. We can already determine in the development phase what is technically feasible and what is not. At the same time, we use our technical expertise to adapt existing processes and systems to your specific product requirements. You will benefit from a high degree of flexibility in order to bring your product to market faster. Your decisive advantage in a highly competitive market.
Realize your product ideas by using innovative technologies!
Product optimization
Take advantage of our experience to optimize your products. Together with you, we will improve the properties and manufacturing processes of already established products in systematic experimental tests.
From laboratory scale to production maturity, your manufacturing process is optimized and tested step by step. We offer you various procedural options, extensive process know-how, and state of the art equipment. Our extensive experience in this area, as well as experience as a contract manufacturer with a wide range of products and processes, ensure the optimal use of the technical possibilities.

Process development
Develop your customized processes together with us for tailor-made products. Our technical capabilities allow for a seamless scale-up, all the way to production. This means we can adapt the manufacturing process precisely to your requirements for the production of large batches. Custom-made and with an optimized process.
A safe scale-up from laboratory to production scale with guaranteed product characteristics requires rigorous studies on high-performance pilot systems. Here, technical configurations are tested, stability tests performed, and all relevant parameters for the design of the production processes are determined.
Processes are always developed in close cooperation with you. Your product know-how and our specific technology and procedural know-how are the perfect combination for the best results.
Rely on a safe scale-up and a valuable transfer of know-how for your optimal process performance!
