It was founded in 1961 as a non-profit association and aims to promote research and development as well as education and training. The FSC has steering and control units, so-called committees, which monitor and control the strategies and activities of the association and advise the management and institute management. The tasks of the committees and their honorary members are oriented towards the welfare of the FSC and its societies.
Membership in the FSKZ e.V. association. (the Association for the Promotion of the Plastics Centre) makes it possible to achieve top positions in the team - to network, to profit from the excellent contacts in terms of content and to be able to represent plastics-specific interests more sustainably with a successful team.
Over 130 researchers, developers and technicians carry out more than 80 public projects and about 600 industrial projects every year. We have received several awards for our innovative research in recent years, including the REHAU Prize, the Otto von Guericke Prize, as a Landmark in the Land of Ideas, the GreenTec Award, the German Sustainability Award for Research and the very important German Future Prize.
Our specialist conferences and networking events are in many cases regarded as important industry meetings and are indispensable for the plastics industry, not only because they generate new impulses and ideas, but also because the mutual exchange and networking among us keep us together, make us strong and develop us further.
