Key industries along their entire value chains strive for intelligent networks that can communicate with each other and connect machines, systems and work places. But is that all that is needed?

Automotive sales and a change in the mind-set of consumers indicate: the industry is transitioning to electric vehicles. Yet, the quest for more efficient high-density e-motors and lower cost is still on.

In replacing metal with PEEK, a leading aero company reduced component production costs and weight and laid the ground for further metal-to-plastic conversion in loaded parts

Complying with new EU rules is both simple and difficult: Manufacturers “just” need to deliver more with less. Can advanced materials pave the way to offer more energy efficiency, enhanced durability, lower noise, and lighter weight with no compromise in performance?

Global manufacturing trends towards miniaturization, demanding operational environments, higher performance, and lighter components means replacement of metals by high-performance polymers such as PEEK will accelerate
