For more than 30 years, Fraunhofer IKTS has been demonstrating the potential of ceramic materials in a steadily growing range of applications. Our development work is derived from the needs of the nine market-oriented business divisions – supplemented by strategic preliminary research at the highest scientific level.

It is our goal to develop complete system solutions and services, but also to solve specific challenges within the processes of our partners from industry and science. Our expertise in characterizing materials, components and systems along their life cycle provides us with a unique data pool to carry out new developments more efficiently and faster.
