technology and innovation track

Innovation is at the core of the close cooperation between our companies to ensure their relevance, both now and decades in the future. This requires substantial investment in the ongoing development of R&D capabilities.

Young talents play an important role by implementing new solutions. In April 2020 we opened Nemho, the Next Material House in Weert, the Netherlands. It’s the center of excellence for technology in our group, with a strong focus on innovation and synergy between the companies that will enable the group to become stronger as a whole. The center is also a place for knowledge exchange. It has been designed to facilitate cooperation with universities, research institutes and other companies and could function as incubator for startups.
