The analysis and development of joining methods with appropriate process parameters is the core of research activities in the field "Joining of Plastics" at the SKZ. Here the industry or SKZ self-initiated research topics are primarily processed. Furthermore, SKZ supports industrial companies with the implementation of new ideas and solving problems. SKZ is thus a competent, independent and neutral contact for "Joining of Plastics".
