Research strengthens competitiveness

Innovations are crucial to growth and value creation. The work of our scientists and engineers today forms the basis for the company’s success tomorrow. Therefore, as a technology concern, SCHOTT constantly makes research and development a top priority.

More than 600 highly qualified employees worldwide – in the Otto Schott Research Center in Mainz (one of the world’s most up-to-date glass research units), in Duryea (Pennsylvania, USA), and in many development labs belonging to the Business Units – work on developing both new products and the materials, technologies, facilities and systems required to manufacture them.

The focus of development is on the following areas:
  • New and improved glasses and glass-ceramics
  • Coating technologies
  • Photovoltaics and solar thermal technologies
  • Fiber optic components for the automotive industry
Communication and cooperation are the key to smooth-running research and development activities, which is why SCHOTT R&D employees foster close relations with many partners from universities, research institutes and industrial undertakings in Germany and other countries.

We are now offering our services also to external companies.
