The Ronal Group, headquartered in Härkingen, aims to further strengthen its position as a technology leader in light alloy wheels and is therefore bundling all research and development activities in a specially established innovation center. The company will focus on special projects. CEO Yvo : "We want to develop products and technologies with which we can help shape the mobility of tomorrow."
Optimization of product properties
Research areas will include the optimization of materials and product properties as well as the conservation of resources through more efficient and new production processes. In all projects, the wheel manufacturer is aiming for close cooperation with customers, suppliers and universities, but also with the Landau production plant, which is located in the immediate vicinity.

In addition to various offices and conference rooms on four floors, the new Innovation Center building will also have a flexible test hall with 1,500 square meters, a laboratory, and a metal and electrical workshop.
