Tools and Standards

Means for the purpose
|
In the most general sense tools stand for “means for the purpose”. Our tools stand for the fact that they enable us for an efficient, accurate and reliable conversion of our specialized knowledge into projects. Wherever such tools are needed, however not available, we develop our own products, which we license also to interested customers.
Together with the tools standards are an integral part in plant design. We are experienced with the most important international standards and their application.
