AN ALLIANCE WITH THE FUTURE:


                  INNOVATION








                  AT BÖLLHOFF







                  Innovations are created by people. Good ideas, pioneering solutions and
                  innovative products are however rarely conceived behind closed doors.
                  At Böllhoff we are certain: Networking people is the key to success. It is
                  only by exchanging ideas with others that excellence can come about.
                  Jointly challenging the status quo, thinking through initial ideas and
                  changing perspectives – that is the approach applied at Böllhoff.

                  It gave rise to many new products and services in 2018. The Innovation
                  Forum allows us to incorporate our customers in the innovation process
                  early on. New solutions such as ready2_rivet and ECOBIN came about in
                                                                                                  ®
                  close cooperation with selected partners. Developments like HITSERT
