Market
For us, there is only one line of sight: Beyond the status quo. The market for printed electronics is both new and dynamic. And the principle behind it is as simple as it is ingenious: Conductive plastics that can be printed on film, paper or textiles make extremely flat and flexible electronic components possible— as the basis for new and innovative applications in the automotive, pharma, packaging, lighting and display sectors. What was still a vision yesterday is now a reality. For example, smart textiles with pressure sensors for seat occupancy recognition, printed antennas, self-dimming rear-view mirrors and medical test strips with diagnosis electrodes. It is an industry that is full of potential that thinks like we do: in a future-oriented manner.
