Dr. Löffler’s research approach

 

​

“It was always my intension to go to the bottom of things and understand the processes at the core to able to change them fundamentally. This is also my approach in research and development – to seek the origin of the problem and its solution.
This was the only way to develop products that achieve a truly new level of effectiveness.”
