About igus

The world is in constant motion and where something moves, that's where we come in: improve what moves! This guiding principle drives us as a manufacturer, because we want to offer our customers new technical products. We improve motion worldwide with motion plastics, our products made from high-performance plastics: energy supply, cables, bearing technology, linear technology, bar stock, 3D printing, Low Cost Automation and smart plastics – made in Germany**.**

Movement is everywhere. We see this every day when we accompany our customers on exciting projects. Today, we support companies from over 80 countries around the world and from over 50 different sectors. In the automotive or packaging industry, railway or agricultural technology, in machine tool construction or in the field of renewable energies, we improve what moves. Together we strive for the best solution for every application.

Our products made from high-performance plastics offer you one major advantage - a long service life. For you, this means that with our motion plastics you can utilise your machines and applications for longer and reduce maintenance and costs. We test the products extensively in our test laboratory and provide you with the data so that you can calculate the service life of your product in advance. So you can be sure that our motion plastics deliver what they promise!

At the centre of our culture is the igus solar system, which reflects our thinking and actions as an organigram. Instead of the sun, our focus is on the customer, who gives us wishes, motivation and money. Our colleagues live and create around the customer, who take up the requirements and find the right solutions to problems, often new products. The success of our employees then comes from the success of our customers. As a company, it is our job to create an atmosphere for our colleagues in which they can enjoy working in the best possible way.

Our factory in Cologne Porz-Lind is something very special. It was designed by the British architect Nicholas Grimshaw and follows our guiding principle that the customer should, like the sun in a solar system, be the centre of activity. The building is therefore supported by sun-yellow pylons that rise high into the sky and can be seen from afar. The factory is also designed to be as flexible as possible to allow for rapid growth and changes. It has no internal walls and can therefore be remodelled and easily extended at any time.

Research on 5,500m2, an open ear for the ideas of our customers, new products every year at our in-house trade show IMPS (igus motion plastics show) and at many trade shows worldwide ... all this means innovation for us. We want to find new solutions along with our customers and implement them quickly in order to improve technology and reduce costs. We keep an eye not only on the current problems, but also on the challenges of the future. Digitalisation, for example, pervades all igus structures and is closely intertwined with innovation.
