Did you know? WINTERSTEIGER invests around ten percent of its turnover in research and development every year. Because we know that consistent progress is the only way we can guarantee our customers' success in the long term. 

We also maintain an ongoing dialog with leading universities and research institutions around the world. The results of this collaboration are integrated directly in the development of our products many of which as patents that reflect outstanding feats of engineering. We also take the ideas of our customers into account in our new developments.
