The members as well as third parties today have a broad range of services in the areas of seminars/training, services and advice, and above all, further research. In addition to the extensive course and seminar offerings, the academic staff also increasingly give lectures at external events.

From 2014, the machinery at the test facilities are rearranged in a major renovation project and adapted to current requirements. Many, unneeded old machines are removed. By combining the production machines on one floor, the workflow improves considerably. Emerged open spaces give the institute building a tidy overall picture. The unfinished work will be continued.

After the Annual General Meeting held in 2015, there will be a „Roadshow“ in 2015, in which 12 exhibitors from different member companies sometimes even represent themselves with larger machines.

The partly outdated electrical installation of the institute’s own technical facilities is currently being brought back to a state of the art in small steps as part of the „electrical revision“ in some areas. The work is carried out professionally and properly by external electricians.

For the visual enhancement of the floors on the ground floor of the mill building and other technical rooms, a light grey epoxy coating will be applied in 2018.

The equipment in the technical center will be expanded in 2019 for processing insects.
