Redefining the status quo.

What does the future hold for us?

Researchers and developers are best placed to answer this question – because they're the ones shaping our future. What might seem impossible today may well be possible in the future thanks to their ideas. They're tackling diseases, developing innovative products andfinding new possibilities. Research is so important to us that we invest 10 % of our overall turnover into it.
