Fraunhofer UMSICHT Institute Branch Sulzbach-Rosenberg

Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technology UMSICHT

Institute branch Sulzbach-Rosenberg

Our research focuses on technical innovations in the fields of environmental, process and energy technology as well as circular economy and recycling.

The aim is to promote sustainable management, environmentally friendly technologies and innovative behavior. Our intention is to strengthen the economic ability to change.

The Sulzbach-Rosenberg branch of the institute analyzes, develops, tests and optimizes technical processes and sees itself as an interface between science and industry. For industrial and public clients, the latest findings are translated into marketable technologies, products and services.
