Fine chemical development for the

Through customer-oriented product development and targeted
acquisitions, Heraeus is constantly expanding its global market and
technological leadership in different industrial areas. Beginning in
1958, the first foreign sales companies were established in France and
Italy. Foreign subsidiaries and associated companies followed in the
USA, Great Britain and Japan, along with production facilities in Korea
and the Philippines. Since 1974, Heraeus has been active with its own
production and development sites in the growth region China.
In our world, which is becoming increasingly complex, international
markets are rapidly changing. This requires an evolution of innovation.
For this reason, every Heraeus business group has its own development
activities and addresses the markets relevant to it. The advantage: We
are close to the customer and develop tailor-made products. Over 550
employees take part in research and development in our R&D centers
worldwide. The images give you an overview of the „Evolution
of Innovation“ at Heraeus.
