Last week, the time had finally come. After many months or years of preparatory work, Moldsonics GmbH was officially founded. The contracts are signed, the ink is dry and the team is more motivated than ever. Another important step that brings us closer to our goal of establishing ultrasonic sensor technology in the plastics industry.

A brief review: The foundations for ultrasonic sensor technology were laid back in 2010 with the research work of Bernhard Praher in the injection molding sector. Intensive research activities proved the enormous potential of this measuring method. Several publications, patents as well as awards followed. Among others, we were a finalist of the renowned Houskapreis in 2015. In 2017, the urge to commercialize the sensor technology became stronger and stronger, which is why we submitted to the Edison - Der Preis in 2017. The very positive feedback as well as the awarding of the silver prize gave our project another strong tailwind. With the subsequent acceptance into the Spin-off Fellowship of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), we were able to overcome the final technical hurdles and develop the first concepts for implementation.

We are currently in tech2b's scale-up program, which means we have a strong partner on board to build up our company. The sensor technology is currently being put through its paces at pilot customers and further improved. The first commercial ultrasonic sensor technology for the plastics industry should be available by the end of the year.

The founders Bernhard Praher, Klaus Straka and Thomas Mitterlehner say very loud THANK YOU to all who have accompanied and supported us on this path!

Here's to more successful years!
