A message from Dr. Erich Wimmer, President of Materials Design

More than ever, our society depends on advanced materials. As research and technology push the frontiers
of the nano-scale, many traditional tools turn out to be too blunt and there is an urgent need for deeper understanding and more reliable materials properties. This creates exciting opportunities for industrial, governmental, and academic organizations.

Understanding materials on a fundamental level enables innovation and progress. In this context, computational materials science has emerged as a new discipline. We are now witnessing the transition of computational materials science from academic research groups to industrial laboratories.

Our company is positioned at the center of this transition. We have attracted an outstanding team of individuals who are passionate about delivering the best available science and technology to our customers in the form of advanced software, the highest quality of support and training, and innovative contract research services.

Our company is privileged to have world-leading industrial organizations as customers. We are committed to providing our customers with the best materials software technology and services to capture the many exciting opportunities which are created by a society in need of energy-efficient, sustainable, and environmentally responsible solutions.
