Science
The fundamental place in the company
Science and education are both the basis of our company.
By means of science, KLOCKNER works in three big areas: scientific support to our products, development and launching of innovative products to the market.
The commitment of KLOCKNER to science is high. This compromise allows us to develop new products with the highest guarantees. It allows to know the behaviour of the products in the market and test new ones. All of this is possible thanks to the strong collaboration with research groups in different areas of implantology at national and international level. Clearly, this alliance with science is the DNA of our company.
How do we do it?
ESCK KLOCKNER Scientific Committee
The ESCK is a committee of experts led by Prof. Javier Gil Mur and made up of specialists in areas as diverse as Dentistry, Chemistry, Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, Medicine, etc. All the members of the ESCK are leading national and international experts. This committee puts forward new ideas, reviews what already exists, gathers suggestions, etc. In short, future options are considered and the behaviour of existing products is evaluated. When an idea, a need or the possibility of creating a new product arises, the ESCKis responsible for evaluating, designing and coordinating the necessary projects so that the best products with a widely-tested level of quality reach the clinics, and therefore the patients. The ESCK coordinates the work of other groups linked to it such as: those responsible for literature reviews, statistical analysis and specialist advisers in different areas of treatment. Over time, a network has been created around KLOCKNER, setting out a working philosophy and a way of doing things that allows us to support our products with our own research. This effort would be worthless if the ESCK and KLOCKNER's R&D department were not fully engaged and committed. It is worth noting the close relationship established between the two at the different stages of a product's development.
University Chairs
In order to be innovative, a company must have research as its basis and foundation. At KLOCKNER, scientific research is a fundamental pillar for supporting our products. KLOCKNER has a close relationship with universities by supporting research groups and PhD projects. This union is at the heart of the company, and it is highly satisfying to see how the research work has a profound and determining effect on the development and manufacture of new products. For this reason, we are the industry’s leading company in national chairs at universities.
