IBMT offers offices and laboratories on 5,600 sqmtrs floor space in St. Ingbert. Additional 2,000 sqmtrs are located nearby in the Sulzbach-Neuweiler industrial park, where new manufacturing technologies are developed for flexible production of highly variable sensors. Therefore regional and international customers are supported in their competition on the European market. For the location it was of great importance to stay close to the Institute for Biochemistry of the University of Potsdam. There biosensors are being developed for several years for the market which is relevant for the fastly growing biotechnology market in the area Berlin-Brandenburg.
Customers are polymer processing and chemical refining industries.
FTeCS therefore will act as a representative of the Fraunhofer Society. A major task of IBMT will be the support in establishing German enterprises with activities in China and the optimization of sensor manufacturing technologies and sensor production facilities.
