On 16 September the Nowy Styl company signed a co-financing agreement for the construction of its own Research and Development Centre project with the Ministry of Development. The new research infrastructure, a dedicated staff of scientists and the research agenda will speed up the company’s technological development and facilitate the process of implementing new furniture solutions into the market. The project value amounts to over PLN 13 mln. <\/strong><\/p>\n The Nowy Styl Group’s offer comprises many technologically advanced solutions. The patented chair mechanisms, such Glide-Tec, DUO BACK and S-MOVE<\/strong> that ensure ergonomics, and the project innovations within the Play&Work furniture system, are examples of the solutions that customers appreciate highly. However, product inventions are only the tip of the iceberg in terms of a company’s innovative character; they have to be supported by process innovations and a modern manufacturing infrastructure. These will all be developed in the Research and Development Centre (R+D) in the Sub-Carpathian region that is now under construction.<\/p>\n The R+D Centre will be located near Nowy Styl Group’s production plants in Jas\u0142o. Its main core will consist of the employees of the current Constructional and Technological Centre, the New Technologies Development Centre and the Tools Centre. The company is also planning to employ several dozen new engineers, including constructors, technologists and acoustics specialists. In total, the number of staff in the R+D Centre will amount to approximately 200.<\/p>\n Within the undertaking, the company will modernise the current technical centre building and fit it out with new research equipment, such as a<\/strong> laboratory for testing furniture ergonomics, a chamber for carrying out acoustics tests and a workstation for testing the UV resistance of materials.<\/p>\n The new equipment will be used to realise the extensive development work in the fields of ergonomics, new integrating and assembly systems, innovative production technologies and acoustics covered by the research agenda.<\/p>\n continue reading below the image<\/em><\/p>\n
