The recent inauguration of the Company's new Technology & Innovation Center in Meitingen is part of this strategy, where SGL Group's global research and development activities have been bundled. The T&I Center will provide up to 150 jobs for scientists and engineers.
"Bayern FIT” is a program for the further development of Bavaria as a center of research and technology. On July 8, 2008, the Bavarian state government approved €1.5 billion funding for the program. This sum includes €490 million of funds previously earmarked for the Transrapid.
The support from the Bavarian government for the development of this key technology was one of the main reasons of the decision to locate SGL Group's high-tech facilities in Bavaria.
The SGL Group is one of the world's leading manufacturers of carbon-based products. It has a comprehensive portfolio ranging from carbon and graphite products to carbon fibers and composites. SGL Group's core competencies are its expertise in high-temperature technology as well as its applications and engineering know-how gained over many years. These competencies enable the Company to make full use of its broad material base.

In 2007, the Company's workforce of around 5,900 generated sales of € 1.4 billion. The Company's head office is located in Wiesbaden/Germany.
