Membership KIST

Since late 2011 ART is a member of the German KIST (Kompetenz- und Innovationszentrum für die StanzTechnologie Dortmund E.v) organisation. The aim of the KIST organisation is to promote the stamping and forming technology in Germany.

As a strategic business partner of the Netherlands, but mainly as a technical stronghold, the German manufacturing industry is an important target market for ART. KIST recognizes the strategic importance to preserve this knowledge within Europe. They therefore organize high-quality training in this branch of industry on a regular bases for leading production companies in Germy. For this purpose ART has been invited to participate as a knowledge partner. In addition the interaction between the affiliated companies at KIST is obviously a great opportunity to meet, discuss and learn, with a common goal: continuity at a high technical level.
