In day by day business it is nice to have partners who reliably stand by your side.

For more than 14 years now, InfraTec Dresden and Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH have been linked by a stable and very successful partnership for both sides, in which projects are successfully implemented in a customer-oriented way and with attention to detail.

On behalf of Quality Assurance Joining Technology, we would like to congratulate you on the 30th anniversary of your company and we wish you all the best to get further success with courage, foresight, vision and health.

Ralf Albrecht, Head of QA, Joining Technology Body Shop, Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH

Vorwerk has been using a VarioCAM® HD 700 with the IRBIS® 3 analysis software for several years in the development of our high-quality household products - especially the Thermomix. The imaging temperature measurement in combination with the wide range of analysis options support us in better understanding and being able to map thermal processes. In this way, we are able to make the cooking experience for our customers even more user-friendly and further optimize it. We particularly appreciate the collaboration and professional exchange with our partner InfraTec. In order to optimally meet our premium demands on our development and our products in the future, we will continue to rely on the use of thermography.

Dr. Michael Sickert, Head of Serial Support Thermomix and Kobold, Vorwerk SE & Co. KG

The Bremen Institute for Metrology, Automation and Quality Science (BIMAQ) looks back on many years of intensive cooperation with InfraTec GmbH. In a multitude of scientific and industrial projects, BIMAQ has found a trustworthy and reliable partner in InfraTec GmbH. Especially the powerful thermographic systems of the ImageIR® series enable worldwide novel insights into the real flow behavior of wind turbines at the physical limits of what can be measured. With these insights, a social contribution to climate protection and the provision of clean energy is made. The BIMAQ congratulates InfraTec Gmbh on its long-term success and 30 years of company history and looks forward to further successful cooperation in the future.

As a former student InfraTec employee, who was able to learn a lot and at the same time experience the 10th company anniversary from the first row, I also personally congratulate very cordially!

Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Andreas Fischer, Bremen Institute for Metrology, Automation and Quality Science (BIMAQ)

Together with my colleagues, I can look back on many, many years of constructive cooperation with InfraTec – be it in temperature determination in machine tools, materials testing or thermal joining. To be successful in the market for three decades is an outstanding achievement and speaks for quality. We congratulate on the anniversary and are glad to know that InfraTec will continue to be a reliable partner at our side.

Dr.-Ing. Roland Müller, Sheet metal working and basics department, Fraunhofer Institut für Werkzeugmaschinen und Umformtechnik IWU

InfraTec is a reliable and always supportive partner when it comes to industrial thermography. Whether hardware or software, InfraTec offers comprehensive solutions for our measurement tasks and provides direct assistance in solving various problems. Training courses in Dresden very clearly convey the function and interaction of hardware and software. These are highly recommended.

Uwe Tauber, Manufacturing Process Supervisor USW 3500 / SMT-OPRH1, Carl Zeiss SMT GmbH

Time flies so fast! We would like to congratulate you on the company's anniversary and take this opportunity to thank you for the good cooperation over the past decades. We have been working with InfraTec for over 20 years and thus have been able to take advantage of the continuous progress in thermography. Be it in the area of process control in manufacturing or in the development of brake pads. Today, inline thermography in particular provides us with innovative possibilities in our daily NVH work. We are looking forward to the next innovations!

Thomas Haite, Specialist NVH, TMD Friction Holdings GmbH

As the operator of the second largest waste-to-energy plant in Bavaria and ultimately responsible for waste disposal safety in the entire eastern Bavarian region, it was eminently important for us to use a future-proof and, above all, reliable technology for automated fire and temperature detection to monitor the waste bunker, which represents our largest fire load.

We have not regretted our decision to work with InfraTec from Dresden. We would especially like to emphasize the flexible, uncomplicated and at any time accommodating cooperation, especially when it comes to scheduling and remedying defects, as this is unfortunately the exception rather than the rule in business relationships nowadays.

In this respect, we would like to congratulate InfraTec on its anniversary, wish it continued good business development and that the company philosophy of good, cooperative collaboration with customers continues to be cultivated in the same way as before.

Konrad Rieger, Technical Manager, Operations Manager Waste-to-Energy Plant, Zweckverband Müllverwertung Schwandorf

The Climate Change and its impact on the Earth's environment is undeniable. Resulting draughts, prolonged and harsher winters and Urban Heat Islands are taking their toll on our quality of life, our health and condition of flora around us. MGGP Aero with help of multiple InfraTec's thermal imagers, is monitoring these changes from the air, delivering top quality aerial thermal imaging to Polish cities, district heating companies, National Parks and forest managers. Thanks to the speed, resolution and reliability of ImageIR® 9400, we have mapped over 2,500 km2 in past 2 years, providing valuable information about surface temperatures and their analyses, allowing decision makers to focus their actions in the right spot.

Karol Krajewski, Research & development specialist, MGGP Aero Sp. z o.o.

As a satisfied customer and project partner, Deutsche WindGuard Engineering GmbH congratulates on your company’s 30th anniversary. We thank InfraTec for the competent support in our daily operations and the excellent cooperation in research projects like PreciWind. For many years we have been using hardware and software from InfraTec for thermographic flow visualisation and analysis. In our aeroacoustically optimised large wind tunnel Bremerhaven (DWAA), for example, two VarioCAM® HDx head 615 accompany daily operations in thermographic flow visualization primarily of lift profiles from wind energy and aviation. For aerodynamic measurement of wind turbine rotor blades in operation, Deutsche WindGuard uses an ImageIR® 8800 in cooperation with BIMAQ (Bremen Institute for Measurement and Automation).
