Research and develop – at Refratechnik these two terms represent a central area of operations, in fact one of the most important mainsprings of the business. The phrase "if you don`t go forwards, you go backwards" applies here more than anywhere else.

Through the numerous expansions of its Research and Development divisions in Göttingen and Bendorf and the successful cooperation with amongst others the well-known Universities of Göttingen, Freiberg and Clausthal, Refratechnik has created a scientific base, which will also ensure continuous further development of products and fields of applications in the future.
