Technical development only makes sense when it serves a specific purpose: Our research improves our products. And our products improve the world. We invest around 8% of our annual revenue in our global R&D network. More than 350 employees propel the advancement and commercialization of cutting-edge technologies, thereby bolstering maxon’s innovation strength and readiness for the future. Our research efforts are centered around various topics, such as mechatronics, control electronics and software, sensors, and materials. In Switzerland, our focus is on motors, encoders, and motion control; in Germany, it is on gearheads; and in Korea, it is on high-torque motors with slotted stators. Furthermore, we have regional R&D centers in China, the Netherlands, North America, and France, where we develop drive solutions directly for our customers.
