Collaborative applied research and development for the European business world is an integral part of our daily work. We provide assistance to enterprises over the entire process, from the initial idea to marketability. This includes the development of innovative packaging. We study innovations with regard to good usability, new materials and sustainability. |
Individual consultancy | |

We offer expert advice and support to our customers in the development and optimisation of plastic products: from selecting adequate materials to developing new material compounds with improved properties, and the design of components oriented towards materials and processes. For instance, we provide FE (finite element) analyses with regard to injecting moulding and structural mechanics. This computational method helps improve the geometry of plastic parts, including the implementation of new designs in production processes. |

Building renovation
Buildings under scrutiny
Your buildings are in good hands with us. From monuments to highways, from natural stone to reinforced concrete, buildings need to keep fit too. We assess buildings and draw up renovation plans, thus making them safe and ensuring their sustainable use. We offer specialised know-how to planners, contractors, as well as house owners and tenants.

OFI helps you make buildings safe. Our standard services range from documenting damage to concrete testing, preparing plans and strategies, specifications and schedules for renovation. For instance, in 2012 OFI carried out special concrete tests on the six ASFINAG highway bridges in Austria. Our experts assessed the development of corrosion and surveyed the possible risks involved. |

Innovation is an important factor for Austria's competitiveness also in the building and renovation industries. Here, the use of renewable energy and sustainability plays a central role. OFI's environmental product declarations illustrate our activities in this field. As a key instrument for assessing the sustainability of buildings, they form part of invitations to tender in the building industry in order to control and improve the ecological performance of buildings. |
