Research & Development The success story of Heraeus started more The evolution Precious metals such as platinum and gold, special metals such as niobium and tantalum, sensors, biomaterials, as well as quartz glass and specialty light sources – Heraeus has set the standard in these fields since 1851 with innovative developments and demanding materials technology. This material competence is based on the treatment of complex materials, as well as extremely high temperatures. What started off more than 160 years ago as a platinum melting business in the basement of the small pharmacy Einhorn-Apotheke in Hanau, Hesse, developed into a global precious metal and technology company with more than 12,200 employees. 24 technology report Issue 4 | 2013
