DE EN US Norafin We are Norafin Research and Development Projects From Idea to the Finished Product In line with our Stage Gate Process, we accompany our customers and partners from the idea to the finished product. In a first meeting between our project team and the potential customer, we discuss and analyze existing products and their field of application. In the next step, we factor in Norafin’s different technologies to see where we can improve the product. Usually the process encompasses different steps. Starting with a new product idea, we transition to an in-depth study to understand the project’s feasibility. Ultimately our team wants to reach a benchmark where we have a prototype and initial production with this new idea. Thanks to this approach, we are able to use our past experience in nonwovens to build on an already strong foundation. How We Proceed A project team per field of application develops product as well as project ideas relevant to the market to the point of product readiness. This could comprise an offer for implementation, a hand sample, a trial on the production facility, or the development of further prototypes. The project team accompanies this process from the product idea to its market readiness and supplies the customer with all necessary details concerning delivery specifications, availabilities, product specifications, and all further information crucial for the reliable observance of delivery dates. Additionally we develop new ideas internally within our R&D team. Through market observation and continued expertise, constant projects with research institutes and business partners, as well as through the influence of our Norafin employees and the Norafin environment. We concentrate on finding sustainable solutions realizable with our Norafin potential. In close cooperation with internal experts, the project managers of our R&D department are also concerned with the continuous enhancement of our technologies, the analysis of resources and their minimization of wastage, the advancement of sustainability within our organization, as well as with internal process optimizations.
