Innovations for a better world

PRONATEC AG has been distributing fair-trade and sustainably manufactured products for the global food and cosmetics industry and the grocery trade for over 45 years. It has been a pioneer in this field, launching the world’s first organic and fair-trade certified chocolate in 1996. Twenty-five years later, the next logical, yet courageous step followed. It constructed one of the world’s most modern cocoa processing plants, gaining independence from external contractors to reach pole position for organic cocoa production.

Trace Die Cast have read the signs of the time well to become a key supplier of die-casting parts for the booming electric vehicle market. What started out in the late 1980s as a prime example of entrepreneurship and drive to innovate is now a thriving company with a strong sense of purpose that is facilitating fundamental change in American mobility. With Bühler’s Carat die-casting technology, Trace has backed the right horse and is leading the race in times of great disruption and new opportunities.

It is the Bühler technologists that translate that knowledge into practical advantage so that our customers can maximize performance and quality. We meet some of the people who are the face of Bühler, traveling the globe building those all-important relationships that are so critical to successful business partnerships.

The journey toward autonomous vehicles requires the development of powerful and efficient microchips that can process vast quantities of surrounding data in fractions of a second. This is only possible thanks to EUV lithography, an optical technology that uses extreme ultraviolet light to create highly advanced microchips. optiX fab in Jena, Germany plays a crucial role in this process, working with a high level of precision at an unimaginably tiny scale.
