With construction of the new Group research center in Meitingen near Augsburg, the SGL Group - The Carbon Company - is strengthening its innovation power as producer of carbon and Graphite. The new center of the Group's research, named Technology and Innovation (T&I) and located at the SGL Group's largest site worldwide, will combine all the Company's research and development activities. The Company is investing approx. EUR8 million in constructing the center, which is to have a state-of-the-art infrastructure. In the medium term, the number of scientists is expected to increase from 80 at present to 120.
The SGL Group established T&I already in 2005 with members of staff from the three operating Business Units. However, at that time, the scientists were based at various sites worldwide. In addition to improving the exchange and transfer of knowledge between the researchers and developers, the center is also meant to promote intensive cooperation with institutes, universities and other companies in the field of carbon. 15 new jobs are to be created for this purpose alone, which can be used by university scientists as part of research projects.
