Improve what moves. With this goal in mind, igus has been developing and producing motion plastics since 1964: lubrication-free and tribologically, i.e. in terms of friction and wear, optimized high-performance plastics for motion. These include products from the fields of energy chains, cables, plain, ball and spherical bearings, linear and drive technology, semi-finished products, 3D printing, low-cost robotics and intelligent sensor technology, which help customers to improve their technology and reduce costs. The Cologne-based business is represented in 31 countries with around 5,000 employees worldwide. Research in igus’ own 4,000 square meter test laboratory continuously produces innovations and greater safety for users. 243,000 products in over 1,000,000 variations are available from stock and the service life can be calculated online. Energy supply systems developed specifically for stage technology have been used successfully for many years in event venues around the world.
