3 A tradition of trend-setting Innovations with an impact WE POINT THE WAY AHEAD - KONRAD SCHÄFER Image 5 Our innovative solutions have been appreciated by leading international automobile manufacturers for over 110 years. Back then, the effective application of electrical motors to drive machines was sufficient to meet customer demands in accelerating the construction of cast models, school models, shapes and chill moulds. Thanks to ground-breaking technologies and ideas, our group has become one of the leading mould and model builders in Europe. Customers in the automotive and aviation industry benefit from our expertise to further refine their products. Today our customers benefit from the use of state-of-the-art CAD/CAM and measuring technologies in the production of functional cubes and environmental cubes, design models, data control models, checking fixtures, galvano models and prototype parts. We offer an extensive range of system solutions: from the planning and design/construction engineering right through to the finished product at our facilities in Osnabrück, Ingolstadt and Mühlhausen. Our common goal is to optimise the value creation chain by minimising development costs and reducing development periods.

4 Shaping the future Design with a system The future of the automobile starts in our design studio. Here, pioneering visions take concrete shape in the form of hand scribbles, renderings, two and three-dimensional CAD representations, proportional models and presentation models. In this way, designers ideas are clearly conveyed and can be technologically evaluated at a very early stage of Illustrative - KONRAD SCHÄFER the development chain. And since design is about more than just shape, our design studio can reproduce the ergonomics, haptics, sound, heritage, material and colour of the desired product. Ideas/design/concepts 7 Design is much more than the shape of a vision. Design can be seen, felt, heard and smelt.

5 Our experts attach great importance to every detail, no matter how small. This is how perfectly formed serial products and future studies are created. Painstaking creation IMAGINATIVE - KONRAD SCHÄFER A wealth of detail with a future Ideas/design/concepts 9 Details are crucial to every technological or visual development.
