Besides our comprehensive company webpage in German and English language, we created a new internet platform for international customers which was launched in mid-June.

The new, multilingual technology pages provide an overview of the IXXAT product range in English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Swedish and Japanese language.

This enables visitors to get a brief description of the desired product in their mother language, with the possibility to switch to a detailed product description in English language.
