Looking back with an eye to the future.
This year, we have tackled many issues and worked tirelessly. With standard products whose quality you can trust. Solutions you can rely on. Innovations that drive progress.
In more than 30 TAR projects, in which we tested 15,000 flange connections and documented 1,300 findings. With 150,000 lot-tracked goods movements, 2.5 million gaskets in stock, 400 tons of raw materials and 200 different material grades, we deliver supply chain efficiency and reliability.
Whether it's PFAS regulation or carbon-neutral operations, 2024 has shown that progress and sustainability must go hand in hand. From alternative materials to transparent climate strategies, we work with you to develop solutions that last. These issues will continue to shape 2025.
Here are our latest technical articles on trending topics.
Oxygen: The Underestimated Element#
In this technical article, Norman Richter, from the Applications Engineering and Product Development department at IDT, takes a closer look at oxygen, a byproduct of hydrogen electrolysis.
