The tasks of the R&D area are unmistakably a striving towards creating innovations to increase production and sales so as to secure and improve the position of IMG in the marketplace both now and in the future. These innovations that are based on efficient and goal-oriented research and development constitute the basic building blocks for the growth and success of IMG. We have made it our aim to detect important topics of the future at an early stage. In order to reach this goal, we annually invest 8-10% of our total earnings in R&D projects.
