Innovations

Setting the pace for the future

If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.

Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955)

 

Innovation ensures success

Why is that? Innovations are a vital factor in society and the economy for securing growth and employment.

If we look back over human history, we quickly see that technical development is growing exponentially. Its pace is increasing year on year. And we can be confident that this will remain the case over the coming decades. This development, and the new technologies emerging from it, will also bring new tasks for our company and especially for fastening technology. We welcome these challenges, because they also open up new opportunities for us.

Innovation management at Böllhoff

Innovation management is a main focus at Böllhoff because innovative products and services are the foundation of long-term success.

Apart from modern methods, organisational forms and processes, there are three factors which play an important role in innovation management at Böllhoff:

Trend analyses

Those who strive to develop the right solutions for the future, must identify and understand current trends.
Böllhoff regularly analyses different sources to recognise trends fast. The identification of trends is the first step toward a successful innovation management.

Open innovation

The key to innovative ideas is the connection of people because great ideas can only surge from exchange. Apart from the internal connection, the opening of the innovation process is also playing an ever increasing role. Already at an early stage, we involve our customers in the development process so as to develop the right solution together.
