Our story begins …

… back in the 90´s, when a passionate scuba diver decided to use his scuba diving bottle with 200 bar of pressure to do first forming trials of warmed films. Curt Niebling wanted to explore if lower temperature combined with higher pressure would lead to more precision? His experiment was a success and today´s high pressure forming technology was born.

„Development means activating resources that already exist.“
