igus competitions and awards
motion plastics are used worldwide and in over 50 different industries, such as the automotive industry, medical technology, and robots. Our products are used for a wide variety of applications – and we ourselves are constantly surprised by the exciting, creative applications our customers come up with. We want to encourage and honour this innovative spirit with our competitions and awards:
