Innovation at MÜNZING does not just mean talking about it, but actively living and implementing it. In the first MÜNZING Innovation Workshop, the “Innovation” business unit, which was newly established last year, showed how creative ideas are generated across different areas and how future topics are brought into focus. Horneck Castle, which overlooks Gundelsheim, was the perfect location for creative ideas. Vision and grounding through a long history - that suits MÜNZING. MÜNZING's strength - adapting almost 200 years of chemical know-how to trend topics - was tangible in all approaches. One particularly striking statement: "Every thought in the direction of innovation also goes in the direction of sustainability." The discussions centered on topics such as sustainable nutrition, recycling, rapid and space transportation, wind power, 3D printing, and food technology. At the end of the day, there was a special team event - the “knight games” impressively demonstrated how well the teams already work together. The bridge that was symbolically created during the workshop was put into practice in the evening. Day 2: Focus and realization After intensive discussions and deep diving into the ideas landscape, some promising approaches were identified. Practical criteria were at the forefront when selecting the topics: Is the plant technology available? Is an acquisition necessary? Is fundamental research required? Is there direct market access? What added value can we create? What unique selling point does the idea offer? What regulatory requirements need to be taken into account? The participants selected four ideas that promised the most significant potential. These ideas can be pitched to management, and anyone who sees added value for themselves and their work has the opportunity to participate in the project - for which MÜNZING provides time and resources. This also opens up exciting opportunities for final theses and innovation projects in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich (TUM). We are already looking forward to the students' ideas. The first MÜNZING Innovation Workshop is an essential step in the continuous development of MÜNZING. The consistently positive feedback and promising ideas from all participants confirm that this hackathon was a decisive step in the right direction.

MÜNZING CHEMIE GmbH celebrates its successful participation in the innovation competition "TOP 100". As a result of demonstrating its innovative qualities, the company was awarded the distinction of Top Innovator 2023. MÜNZING CHEMIE GmbH participated in the innovation competition for the first time in 2023 and is therefore even more pleased to be able to place itself directly among the 100 most innovative German medium-sized companies, among which only a few companies from the chemical industry are represented overall. MÜNZING is a globally active manufacturer of specialty additives headquartered in Abstatt, Baden-Württemberg, and employs around 630 people worldwide. Innovation was already in the blood of the company's founder, who in 1830 was the first person in Germany to succeed in producing sulfuric acid. Today, the family business is in the 6th generation of the Münzing family and the current Managing Director, Dr. Michael Münzing, is committed to this tradition. His credo is "I always want to be at the forefront, to be a pioneer. I'd rather get my fingers burnt and learn from it." The innovation competition is based on a scientific selection process. On behalf of compamedia, the organizer of the TOP 100 comparison, the innovation researcher Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke from the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration and his team examined MÜNZING based on more than 100 criteria from five categories: Innovation-promoting top management, innovation climate, innovative processes and organization, external orientation/open innovation, and innovation success. Of particular importance is whether a company's innovations are merely a product of chance or are systematically planned and thus repeatable in the future. Thanks to the creative freedom for employees, openness to new ideas and moderation of the innovation process by management, the company scores particularly well in the category of Innovation-promoting top management. Worth highlighting here is the integration of sustainability and digitalization, which were also evaluated in this category. MÜNZING attaches great importance to the development of environmentally friendly and resource-saving solutions and to the sustainable and efficient design of production processes, which is optimally supported by advances in digitalization. This is confirmed by the likewise very good rating in the Innovative Processes and Organization category. This is evidence of the company's ability to quickly adapt to changing customer needs and technologies and to optimally track the market and competition through constant monitoring. Here, MÜNZING stands out with above-average ratings in flexibility and agility, as well as short decision-making paths and a clear design of the innovation process. "We improve our customers' products," is how Managing Director Malte Koffka sums up the company's activities. "Our specialty additives make up only a small fraction of the product formulation but provide the finishing touches in the end application so that the product can fulfill its function optimally." Innovation in terms of customer needs is an important driver of success, which is why MÜNZING maintains close customer relationships. Nevertheless, participation in the innovation competition also provided information about yet untapped potential, in the exploration of which the company is already investing through its own teams and projects on the topics of innovation and sustainability. This strategy is another element in MÜNZING's almost 200-year company history to continue to be at the forefront and to actively shape the future of the chemical industry. You will find more information about the innovative strenght and participation in the top 100 competition in the MÜNZING CHEMIE company portrait. If you want to learn more about the competition itself and the scientific selection process, check out the top 100 website.

The environmental awareness of consumers is increasing, and so environmentally friendly paints and coatings are also attracting more and more attention. Sustainable raw materials should be used and, especially when used indoors, no harmful substances should be emitted by the paint into the ambient air - but without compromising on performance. And that is exactly our approach! We are committed to develop environmentally friendly additives that meet the needs of our customers, by providing zero VOC and low or even zero SVOC content and improving the durability of a paint or coating without compromising on performance. The new portfolio of sustainable additives includes defoamers, rheology modifiers, wetting agents, dispersants, and wax formulations, which all benefit from a significantly increased renewable content, providing a more sustainable solution for paint and coating manufacturers. MÜNZING’s portfolio of renewable additives will be presented during our presentation slot at European Coatings Show on Tuesday, March 28 from 14:50 to 15:10 at Hall 5, stand 243 by Jörg Wollschläger, Business Delevopment Manager.

Don’t miss out on learning about 'The Effects of Foam and Air Entrainment and Defoamer Performance in Electric Vehicle Fluids' presented by Safia Peerzada, of Münzing North America, LP at #STLE’s Tribology & Lubrication for E-Mobility Conference Thursday, December 1, 2022 Track 2: Testing 8:00 am – 8:30 am. Sign up for the virtual option and access the post-event digital proceedings of the technical presentations. Green, eco-friendly, and sustainable technology has become the future of the automotive industry, causing a significant increase in the efforts to develop electric vehicles. The fluids required for electric vehicles exhibit different foaming and air entrainment tendencies compared to traditional automotive fluids due to the difference in system chemistry, which requires different defoamer types and test methods to simulate real world application. During use of the fluid, the defoamer functions to minimize foam buildup and entrained air, which is undesirable for reasons such as reduction of lubrication and heat removal. A study of foam tendency and air entrainment in electric vehicle fluids using new lab foam test methods will be reviewed. Furthermore, the performance of various defoamer chemistries will be studied to understand the most optimal defoamer type for electric vehicle fluids.

In this webinar we want to introduce the basics of why foam occurs and how to fight it. The webinar will include some hands on examples showcasing the different challenges.
