Bringing people together on the Red Couch at RAMPF

NEW to RAMPF: The Power of RAMPF - Corporate Sound of the RAMPF Group.Listen in!
A comfy and stylish red couch stands in the foyer of RAMPF, specialist in the development of reactive resins made of polyurethane, epoxy and silicon and a leading manufacturer of materials for modelling and mould engineering. The red couch at RAMPF symbolises a module within the family-run company’s innovation management strategy. It is an integral part of the company’s “Innovation stars on the red couch” event series, which RAMPF organises for its employees several times a year – unusual for an SME. High-profile figures from the worlds of culture, business, sport and society who have shown courage and been successful in their chosen career are invited to take their place on the red couch. Britta Heidemann, Olympic gold medallist in épée fencing, was one such star from the sporting world. The very first innovation star to sit on the red couch was sound designer Peter Philippe Weiss, who received the red dot design award in 2009 for his outstanding design work. The sound designer’s visit kick-started the development of a musical composition that embodies the RAMPF group. The aim was to discover “the sound of RAMPF” and show that chemistry can make music. The basis for the RAMPF sound was created by the employees. You can listen to the end result on the company’s website and on YouTube.

Harmonizing Testing Standards and Processes Together: “Model Construction” Study Group of the BDG meets at RAMPF
At the end of March 2011, the “model construction” study group of the Bundesverband der Deutschen Giesserei-Industrie (BDG) (= Federation of German Foundry Industries e.V.) visited RAMPF Tooling GmbH & Co.
