A Good Innovation Climate Reigns at TRUMPF

The strength and will to innovate are important to both our customers and us. It keeps us one step ahead of the competition. That is why, last year, we created new products and improved existing ones across the entire product range. These innovations increase the productivity of our customers and support them in their work.

The impressively high number of innovations also showed up in our figures. In the year under review, expenditure for research and development increased by 11 percent to € 151 million, compared to last year’s € 135 million. Like last year, our research and development quota amounted to 7.0 percent of sales. As of the reporting date, 1,070 employees in the Group across the globe were working hard to steadily expand our leading technological position. As part of this process, our innovation management group supports the search for new ideas and facilitates the creative process.
