For decades, the company has been in the business of developing and manufactur\u00ading motion plastics, which are high-performance poly\u00admers used for movement. These revolutionary, lubrica\u00adtion-free products \u2014 which include energy supply sys\u00adtems, highly flexible cables, plain and linear bearings, lead screw technology, 3D printing, Low Cost Automa\u00adtion, and smart polymers \u2014 are employed across a wide range of vital applications, in various sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 190 newly developed physical and digital products \u2014 like a low-cost robot oper\u00adated through a virtual reality headset, and a smartphone artificial intelligence appli\u00adcation that identifies and or\u00adders spare parts for various industries \u2014 Igus drives en\u00adgineering forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entering its 60th year in the business, Igus is taking a more creative and greener approach: \u201cEnjoyneering \u2014 unleash your engineering power with play.\u201d This di\u00adrection showcases the latest motion plastics technologies in more innovative and sus\u00adtainable ways, utilizing VR applications and low-cost au\u00adtomation, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to develop new so\u00adlutions that even small com\u00adpanies with limited budgets can easily use.<\/p>Frank Blase<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer of Igus<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe possibilities of vir\u00adtual reality for mechanical engineering design are abso\u00adlutely fascinating,\u201d Igus CEO Frank Blase pointed out. \u201cWe want to develop new so\u00adlutions that even small com\u00adpanies with limited budgets can easily use.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a thrust toward a carbon-neutral factory by 2025, the family-run com\u00adpany based in Cologne is in the thick of developing systems and improving the environmental balance of plastics through progressive recycling programs. Along\u00adside its technological ex\u00adpansion, Igus continues to broaden its global reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presently, Igus has over 188,000 customers and around 5,000 employees at 31 locations, worldwide. Ja\u00adpan is an important market for this growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJapan is one of the big countries for us, in terms of sales, and we\u2019ve been doing business with the Japanese for more than 30 years. With our unique products, we are currently serving a roster of Japanese businesses, includ\u00ading machine tool builders, semiconductor manufac\u00adturing equipment builders, crane builders, automotive-related companies and more. There is an especially large opportunity in the Japa\u00adnese automotive market. Currently, we\u2019re increasing resources in Tochigi, to in\u00adcrease production capacity. Igus is globally putting more and more focus on low-cost automation, too. We believe we can expand this business in the Japanese market, as well,\u201d Blase shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
