Fraunhofer-Institut für Fertigungstechnik und Angewandte Materialforschung IFAM

FRAUNHOFER IFAM

Fraunhofer IFAM is one of the leading independent research organizations in Europe in the fields of “Adhesive Bonding Technology and Surfaces” and “Shaping and Functional Materials”. At the center of all the institute locations – Bremen, Dresden, Oldenburg, Stade, Wolfsburg, and in future an additional location in Braunschweig – the focus of all the R&D activities is to provide customers with effective, applicationoriented solutions.
Most of the products, processes, and technologies we develop are for sectors where sustainability is particularly important, namely for the automotive sector, energy technologies, aviation industry, maritime technologies, as well as medical technology and life sciences. The solutions developed at Fraunhofer IFAM are, however, also used in various other branches of industry including machinery and plant construction, electronics and electrical engineering, shipbuilding, rail vehicle manufacture, the packaging industry, and the construction sector.
For the realization of this task, Fraunhofer IFAM has a highly qualified workforce of more than 650 employees, organized into project teams and business segments covering specific topics. These topics include materials, shaping, joining technologies, surface functionalization, and the development of complete components and complex systems, as required in the fields of electromobility or automation and digitalization. This means that Fraunhofer IFAM covers the whole valuecreation chain from the development of materials and product design up to the integration into industrial production – including pilot trials and customized workforce training in new technologies.
