Why innovative spirit is our drive

Our spirit of innovation is traditionally deeply rooted. Ever since company founder and visionary Wilhelm Grillo laid the foundation stone for our unparalleled success story in 1842, innovation has always been the driving force and growth generator of our company. This passion is part of our corporate culture. Our research and innovation-oriented infrastructure makes us one of the leading innovation drivers in the industry. This is guaranteed by our own research and development department, excellently trained employees, the involvement of our customers and partners in development projects and our close links with the German and European research landscape. This is how we consistently and reliably develop new technologies and products that move both society and the economy forward.

Innovations are made by people

We develop innovative products through intensive research work. However, this would not be possible without the people behind it – customers, employees and research partners are our focus, because they make our high-quality work possible in the first place.
