WF Partners & cooperations

Highly capable scientists, systematic researchers, experienced developers. – The team mix is the key.

Partnerships play an important role in the implementation of extraordinary ideas. Visions and new impulses are created in a broad-based network. That is why we involve selected partners in our innovation processes to further expand our position as a technology leader.

Competent scientists and researchers from a wide range of fields work confidentially with our developers on new processes.

Mechanical engineering has many forms.

„Mechanical engineering is not only the technical implementation of a customer requirement. Mechanical engineering also is commitment, understanding, confidence and foresight.“

Cooperations

Some of our partners

Georg Agricola University of Technology
The Technical University Georg Agricola, Bochum, is our partner for materials science. Materials analysis for cracking or elongation at break, microsection and tensile testing – in all these areas the university is our valuable and reliable partner.

thyssenkrupp Steel Europe AG
We work with thyssenkrupp Steel on a wide range of projects that have already resulted in ten patent-pending processes. In September 2016, for example, one of our Vertical Universal Spinning Machines, the VUD 600, was commissioned at the Steel application center in Duisburg. Less than a year later, steel was made to “flow”. With the new hot forming line, particularly precise and weight-saving steel components can be developed and put into series production. In further trials, applications with sheet steel are being researched.

We are constantly working with our partners and a selection of our customers on joint development projects. In the past, many joint patents have already resulted from such projects.
