Thomas Klett is a key figure in this development. He is strengthening our team with his many years\u2019 experience in elastomer compound development.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are now embarking on a new chapter at OPR. The development of elastomer compounds as a standalone service is set to become an integral part of our portfolio. This will enable us to position ourselves even more clearly as a comprehensive development partner for demanding elastomer projects. In Thomas Klett, we have recruited a proven expert with over 30 years\u2019 practical experience in compound development at a renowned seal manufacturer. His extensive expertise enables us to develop bespoke, application-optimised elastomer compounds specifically tailored to our customers\u2019 requirements.<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a further important step, we are planning to set up a processing pilot plant with two injection moulding machines in the coming year. This will enable us to expand our compound development in a targeted manner to include the areas of processability and prototyping.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This infrastructure enables us to closely integrate material development, processing and initial component samples \u2013 from the formulation right through to a fully functional prototype.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A comprehensive development partner for elastomer projects<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By combining compound development, processing expertise and analytical know-how, we will be able to support our customers even more comprehensively in future. Our aim is not merely to evaluate solutions, but to play an active role in shaping them \u2013 in a practical, efficient and application-oriented manner.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/o-ring-prueflabor.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/0151_IMG_1033_&#xA9;Tobias_Ehmer-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2837\" style=\"width:707px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/o-ring-prueflabor.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/0172_IMG_1180_&#xA9;Tobias_Ehmer-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2839\" style=\"width:707px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/o-ring-prueflabor.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/0178_IMG_1208_&#xA9;Tobias_Ehmer-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2841\" style=\"width:708px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2730,"template":"","class_list":["post-2911","aktuelles","type-aktuelles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-ring-prueflabor.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aktuelles\/2911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-ring-prueflabor.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aktuelles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-ring-prueflabor.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/aktuelles"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/o-ring-prueflabor.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-ring-prueflabor.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
