A team of 149 scientists and laboratory, technical and commercial assistants are employed by the institute and its subsidiary company. Together, these staff members ensure rapid and competent implementation of R&D tasks and material testing procedures.

Qualified and dedicated specialists also work in project groups on the development of materials, processes and methods that help increase our clients' competitiveness.

The TITK also plays an important role in the professional training of young men and women. At the moment, four apprentices are obtaining their qualifications as a textile production mechanic, chemistry technician, process mechanic for plastics and rubber production, and physics lab assistant. Students of chemistry, physics, textile engineering, process engineering, materials engineering and other subjects are also supported through internships and assistance with their Master theses and Doctoral dissertations.
