RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FOR INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING –
from the idea to the realization
 
One of eiffo's core tasks is to support companies in securing their competitiveness through effective, innovative measures.

The thematic focus here is on production methods, coating systems and business processes. Framework conditions that must always be taken into account are, in particular, the respective customer requirements, the legal requirements and overcoming the existing shortage of skilled workers.

However, the costs of energy and materials are also considered, which are having an increasing impact on the company's profit situation due to the sometimes considerable price increases.

The consideration of long-term aspects, overarching issues in the value chain (supply chain) and open cooperation between all partners are important elements.
 
With regard to customer requirements, the fact that the development work for the manufacture of new products is increasingly being shifted towards the suppliers is taken into account. Above all, new developments are increasingly influenced by targets such as pollutant emissions or resource conservation, which should be optimized along the entire supply chain as far as possible. This creates further challenges for the suppliers. For example, a documentation and optimization approach similar to that for quality management is already being discussed for eco-efficiency in production.
