Discover how we’re shifting what’s possible across industries, products, services and innovation.

From R&D of new, advanced materials, to partnering with innovators, and helping grow emerging ideas, our collaborative approach to finding the best solutions to today’s engineering challenges is driving our industry forward.

Based on our KAITEKI philosophy – meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs – our commitment to sustainability goes much further than recycling our materials. We’re helping enhance the world.

Whether it’s rapid prototyping technology, new platforms or supply chain and distribution support, our bespoke services and high-tech systems offer industry-leading solutions.

From high performance injection moldable carbon fibre composites to biocompatible engineering plastics and a variety of recyclable solutions, we offer the widest range of advanced materials.

Our established global partnerships, broad industry knowledge and range of materials expertise enables customers to find solutions that meet industry-specific requirements.

Our experts produced a self-lubricating plastic solution that not only delivered to our customer’s needs, but also resulted in a lighter plane with a lower risk of failure and reduced maintenance requirements. This in turn led to better fuel efficiency and reduced CO₂ emissions, which helped create a more sustainable aircraft.

D-​MATL’s Prof. Nic Spencer Becomes First Swiss Winner of Tribology’s Highest Honour


Professor Nicholas D. Spencer is the latest winner of the Tribology Gold Medal, which will be awarded to him in November at a special ceremony in the British Embassy in Berne. ETH News: English


Scientists at ETH Zurich and an ETH spin-​​off have developed a novel polymer for coating materials, in order to prevent biofilms from forming on their surfaces. Thanks to the technological platform developed, it is now possible to coat durably a variety of different materials using the same polymeric molecule. Such coatings are of relevance for medical applications, among others. ETH News: English, Deutsch


An unlikely attraction: Like charges normally repel each other. That’s not the case at the interface between air and water. This is where Dr. Matthew Brown's group, Surface Science and Technology, observed an unusual phenomenon with nanoparticles, and found an explanation. ETH News: English, Deutsch
