SCHOTT SOLUTIONS 2/14 EDITORIAL VORWORT Board of Management of schott ag: Dear readers, Dr. Frank Heinricht (Chairman, center), Klaus Rübenthaler (left) and Dr. Hans-Joachim Konz (right) Photo Foto : schott/ A. Sell New technological achievements can be accomplished in a number of different ways. One possible approach is to have many bright people with different skills work passionately to achieve a common goal. This is how we developed our PURAVIS® high-performance glass fiber. In this case, a 17-member interdisciplinary team not only managed to develop an environmentally-friendly process, but has also seen to it that this product innovation has already become a considerable market success. The SCHOTT Innovation Award was presented in 2014 for the first time to recognize this outstanding teamwork which is a prime example of working as a “Connected Company” and our company value “Drive Innovation.” In the future, this award will send a signal to the market each year on outstanding and successful innovations “made by SCHOTT.” An example involving laser glass also illustrates how we understand the challenges and needs of the market, continuously improve our products and processes and always think beyond the limitations of today’s capabilities. In 40 years of research, our experts in Duryea in the United States have laid the foundation for SCHOTT to become one of the leading suppliers of this promising material. We are an active partner in pioneering major projects and are helping to drive progress in key laser technology forward with our unique expertise. These are only two of the many interesting topics you will read about in this issue. They illustrate how we concentrate our energy and expertise on finding solutions that inspire customers and help us achieve even greater success. We sincerely hope you enjoy reading this edition. Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, es gibt Königswege, auf denen sich neue technische Errungenschaften erreichen lassen. Einer davon heißt: Viele kluge Köpfe mit unterschiedlichen Kompetenzen setzen sich ein gemeinsames Ziel und streben mit großer Leidenschaft dessen Verwirklichung an. So geschehen bei der Entwicklung unserer Hochleistungsglasfaser PURAVIS®: Ein 17-köpfiges interdisziplinäres Team hat es dabei nicht nur geschafft, einen umweltfreundlichen Herstellungsprozess zu kreieren. Die Produktinnovation hat rasch beachtliche Markterfolge erzielt. Für diese bemerkenswerte Teamleistung – die im besten Sinne einer „Connected Company“ und unserem Unternehmenswert „Drive Innovation“ entspricht – wurde 2014 erstmals der SCHOTT Innovationspreis verliehen. Dieser soll künftig jedes Jahr ein Signal setzen für herausragende, im Markt erfolgreiche Innovationen „made by SCHOTT“. Wie wir die Herausforderungen und Bedürfnisse von Markt und Kunden verstehen, Produkte und Prozesse stetig verbessern und dabei immer über die Grenzen heutiger Möglichkeiten hinausdenken, zeigt sich ebenso am Beispiel Laserglas. Unsere US-Experten in Duryea haben in 40 Forschungsjahren die Basis dafür gelegt, dass SCHOTT zu einem führenden Anbieter dieses zukunftsträchtigen Materials werden konnte. Wir sind engagierter Partner in wegweisenden Großprojekten und helfen mit unserer Spezialkompetenz den Fortschritt der Schlüsseltechnologie Laser voranzutreiben. Dies sind nur zwei von vielen weiteren interessanten Themen dieser Ausgabe. Sie zeigen, wie wir unsere Expertise und Energie darauf konzentrieren, Lösungen zu finden, die Kunden inspirieren und zu mehr Erfolg verhelfen. In diesem Sinne wünschen wir Ihnen eine anregende Lektüre. Dr. Frank Heinricht Klaus Rübenthaler Dr. Hans-Joachim Konz 3
