Boysen opens up advantages

in research & development

We work on achieving the ideal relationship between lightweight construction and endurance, emission figures and acoustics. State of the art technology is a must. Practical knowledge and interaction between production and development know-how are vital. This is what enables us to design and develop more efficiently.

And we are consistently expanding our development activities. In addition to the Development and Administration Centre at our Altensteig headquarter, since 2014 the nearby Boysen Innovation Centre Nagold (BIN) has been primarily concentrating on development and testing in the commercial vehicles sector and acts as an internal service provider to the Altensteig development centre in the passenger car sector. This creates scope for innovations and enables our partners to achieve a crucial competitive advantage.
