Create progress. Together!

Creating progress together – that’s what the people at Ticona are working toward. In order to create something new, and to refine a proven product in a targeted manner, the company is continually improving its service portfolio. In so doing, its commitment to the widest possible variety of markets is helping make life safer and more comfortable – today and in the future.

Ticona at K 2007 – close to customers and the market

These changes also open up new growth potentials to the plastics industry, however. Ticona has defined what it believes to be its most important growth fields, and translated these into the three overarching themes of “Power”, “Safety” and “Life” on its open, communicative stand at K2007. “The first area highlights sustainable technologies,” explains Carsten W. Wörner, European sales manager at Ticona, in describing the concept of the stand. “This involves achieving higher efficiency in modern passenger vehicles, for example, or handling resources more efficiently, or protecting the environment.” The second thematic area is right in line with the growth field “security” and the further development of relevant sensor-based systems – in automobiles, for example. The third focuses on how the quality of life can be improved further. “This relates to robots in the home, improvements in medical technology, and many other applications,” says Wörner, “that are making daily life much more convenient for the most part already today.” These three areas are complemented by the equally central theme of “People”.

People are the key to success

The fourth area on the K stand is entirely dedicated to the people at Ticona. “Well-educated and highly motivated, they develop new ideas (speed to concept) and implement them rapidly (speed to market) – and they do so on a worldwide basis,” explains Polet, Vice President Ticona. “This enables us to operate in profitable markets.” In order to achieve this goal, Ticona is consciously adopting new forms of approach to the customer. Along with new customer relations concepts, Ticona also has a well-established range of proven services in its portfolio. Customers particularly appreciate the polymer manufacturer’s extensive processing expertise and take advantage of the support services it offers in, for example, injection molding – designing molds or carrying out computer-aided filling simulations and designing runner and gating systems using Moldflow®. Customers also receive support in the selection of suitable standard hot runner mold units and on the full range of topics concerning the venting and temperature control of molds.

At this trade fair – by far the most important in the thermoplastics industry – Ticona will be showing you on a 780 qm booth examples of cutting-edge ideas and innovations. Come and visit us in Hall 6, Booth A/B07.
