PTS was set up as a foundation in 1951 and assists at the location in Munich and Heidenau companies in all sectors with the development and use of modern fibre-based solutions in the areas of research, consultancy, testing and training.
The competences focuses on:
- Fibres & Composites: Development of specialty papers and fibre composites, semi-finished paper products and bio-composites for new markets.
- Functional Surfaces: Development of coated barriers, packaging with new functions and contact-free paper and board converting processes. We are your partner in the area of functionalizing web-type materials, optimizing printability and runnabilty as well as evaluating surfaces.
- Innovative measuring: Sensors and measurement solutions facilitate for more efficient process management and assuring the quality of products, especially in the management of recovered paper.
- Material Testing & Analytics: Analyzing and evaluating paper, board, cartonboard, corrugated board, nonwovens, composites, packaging, paper converting and print products, dispersions, emulsions, pigments, water, wastewater and residues.
PTS offers optimally equipped analytical laboratories and modern pilot plant facilities for innovative paper and wet-laid nonwoven developments. All of them open up completely new opportunities in the fields of fibres and composites. Fibre-based composites can be used in a broad spectrum of applications ranging from simple technical products to high-performance structures for customers in the automotive and aerospace industries.
The training program of PTS offers the latest technological knowledge about paper production, converting and new applications of paper. Participants profit equally from our in-house expertise and worldwide professional contacts: Around 180 speakers from industrial companies, research institutions, associations and authorities join us each year to share their knowledge.
