Innovation & Development | Visit to VPF
Much of our technical development is based on close collaboration with our suppliers. The S+P team recently travelled to North Rhine-Westphalia to deepen a long-standing partnership. The origins of this relationship go back decades, which was reason enough to exchange ideas about current developments and trends.
For S+P Samson, the partner VPF GmbH & Co. KG - an expert in adhesive composites and coatings - is characterized by a comprehensive portfolio and an intelligent modular principle - exactly what we need to meet the challenges of our projects. Many topics were discussed that are of great importance to our work. From materials technology and manufacturing processes to technical limits, specifications and tolerances, the exchanges were both varied and informative.
The opportunity for our purchasing department to study the VPF portfolio in detail is particularly valuable. This allows us to benefit directly from the wealth of experience of the specialists. The discussions and analyses not only give us new insights, but also enable us to develop innovative approaches for our own developments.
But the exchange doesn't stop at office hours. Additional knowledge and interesting stories often emerge in a relaxed atmosphere over a beer. These informal conversations round out our picture and strengthen the relationships we have built over the years. Such meetings are not only important for technical development, but also promote mutual trust and cooperation - essential elements for shared success in the future.
