Technology Hubs

At our labs  located in Germany, Austria, China and the USA,  we have over 2000 m² of floor space available, which allows us to set up multiple production scenarios and run tests under real-life conditions. Readily available etching lines for customer samplings, small-scale lab tools, chemical labs and research equipment are just some examples of our Innovation Center’s broad capabilities.

With over 50 highly engaged engineers and scientists in Europe, USA and China, we get the most out of the machines and processes.

RENA’s innovative solutions are reflected in over 200 granted and pending patents.

Our Services

Sampling


Every company desires an optimized production line; it is therefore of high importance for our customers to discover how variations in their machine set-up may affect their end product.

RENA therefore offers its clients the opportunity to run in-house performance tests with their own samples on RENA machines. Analytical characterization and testing of the samples is also performed in RENA`s dedicated R&D facilities.

Furthermore our team of experienced engineers and researchers allows joint developments for prototype tools speeding up transfer to mass production.

Process Improvement


RENA is constantly developing new processes - in close collaboration with its customers - with the aim of meeting the market’s latest demands in efficiency, sustainability, and environmental protection. Several small-scale production lines enable our R&D center to run process tests with a large assortment of chemicals and varying processing conditions.

Sometimes small variations can make the difference. The ideal mix of additives is essential in order to achieve the best possible results. RENA’s dedicated scientists are developing new additives for various processes and applications.

Innovation is our strength and our passion. For this reason RENA is also working with new substrates and materials as well as developing processes and equipment solutions. Thus the demanding requirements to surface properties can be met.

Analytical Services


RENA Technologies Austria operates Austria’s largest galvanics laboratory, specializing in chemical process control, damage analysis of coated surfaces, and surface charactization. We offer production technology support, starting with preventative corrosion investigation and going all the way to assistance with acute production difficulties.
The determination of electrochemical material and electrolyte properties provides the basis for good material decisions and the avoidance of corrosion-induced failure in use. Our portfolio covers all engineering services, from product idea, to concepting and prototyping, to industrialscale production processes.
