Using the research and development work carried out by the "Institute for Man-Made Fibre Technology" as a basis, the TITK has advanced from an organisation offering research expertise for the application of fibres in the textile industry to an ultra-modern and world-renown institute for polymer materials research.

As an industry-oriented research institute, the TITK conducts both fundamental and applied research in fields of relevance to various industries.

Among other things, we support small and medium-sized enterprises with their innovation efforts by providing them with interdisciplinary expert knowledge, innovative ideas, specialised knowledge of the industries we work with, and state-of-the-art technical infrastructure.

The objective of such collaboration is to develop technological processes and competitive products that meet the individual requirements of customers, whereby the results of our activities can be used for the most diverse applications in the fields of chemistry, plastics and textiles.
