We were again awarded the Innovation Certificate by the Arbeitsgememeinschaft für Wärmebehandlung und Werkstofftechnik e.V. (AWT) for our active participation in research projects of the AWT in the "Expert Committees" and "Project Monitoring Committees".

We are proud to be honoured by AWT as an innovative partner. For us, it is a great motivation to be involved in further developments in the field of heat treatment and materials technology and to bring in new impulses.

AWT Innovation Certificate 2018

Meet us at Europe's largest event for the heat treatment industry: From 16 to 18 October 2018 we will be presenting our products and services in Hall 4, Stand C-080 / D-089 at Cologne Fair. Exchange ideas with our experts!

On personal invitation we took part in the excellently organized celebration of Aichelin. We also had the honour of writing a guest contribution as a partner of the Aichelin Group in the high-quality and bound edition of the commemorative publication. This is based on the decades-long connection between the two company groups and the business relationship characterized by high personal esteem. The first documented meeting between our company founder Karl-Wilhelm Burgdorf and the former Aichelin owner Heinz Berger dates from March 24, 1950.

In his function as a board member of AWT e.V. and coordinator of the expert committees, Rainer Braun most recently presented the currently 18 active expert committees in the HTM editorial, issue 03/ 2018. The expert committees are the „innovation engine“ of the AWT, they initiate and accompany research and development projects in their field of activity, they offer member companies the opportunity to become part of the knowledge network through active cooperation, but above all to participate in the innovations.
In order to exchange knowledge between the expert committees, a workshop of all expert committee leaders is held annually in the presence of other members of the AWT board. Cohesion is thus strengthened, the requirements of technological change are taken up in a targeted manner and adopted in the technical committees.
