ACCENTFORM is the first German company to introduce the EURO as a currency in accounting and on invoices in mid-1998 - in the days of the DM. Two years before the actual EURO changeover.
Founding of a branch in Lübben/Spreewald for the production of small series and individual products for buses and trains.

Foundation of ACCENFORM Polska Sp.z.zo. near Choszczno/Arnswalde for the manufacture of serial agricultural products (calf igloos) using the fiber spraying process.
A second hall with 360 m² for the production and surface finishing of GRP components is built at the Nienstädt site.
ACCENTFORM Polska is expanding in the industrial area of Choszczno on a plot of approx. 10,000 m² with a 2,400 m² existing property for production and storage. A third hall with 300 m² for model and mold construction is built at the Nienstädt site.
Purchase of a truck for factory transportation between the Polish sites in Choszczno and Nienstädt. Closure of the location in Lübben. Commissioning of a KUKA robot on a 10m long linear axis for trimming serial GRP components. Production of approx. 600 large-format engine hoods for JCB Vibromax per year.
Production of plastic bodies for the ECOCRAFTER, the first electrically powered municipal and parcel vehicles. ECOCRAFTer was then taken over by VW and the product was subsequently withdrawn from the market.
Purchase of a KUKA KR150 L110-2 robot for milling 3D objects from UREOL and polystyrene.
ACCENTFORM Polska has been particularly hard hit by the economic crisis, as the production of hoods for construction machinery has declined by over 80%.
Takeover of a model making company for the production of Exporit models in Bergisch Gladbach to increase competence in the field of CNC milling of large-format objects. Discontinuation of labor-intensive production at the Polish site, focus on high-quality custom-made products and serial components using the RTM process with automated trimming at the Nienstädt site.
Doubling of the production area to approx. 2,000 m² through the construction of a fourth hall.
Increase in milling capacity with a total of three large-format 3-axis milling machines (5 x 2.5 m) and two 5-axis machining centers for wood, Ureol and polystyrene
Successful introduction of the paperless office through a document management system (DMS). All business processes are carried out digitally. Unfortunately for Swiss Post, all invoices are now only accepted and sent digitally.
Production area doubled once again with the construction of the new Hall 5 with an area of 1,800m². The main objective of the investment is to focus on the production of large-format GRP cladding parts using the RTM process for customers in the agricultural machinery and commercial vehicle construction sectors.
Acquisition of further machines:
5-axis milling machine for object sizes up to 10 x 4 x 1.6 m,
2K drum dosing system for the application of epoxy or PU pastes
New installation of two paint booths (8 x 5 m) with heat recovery
The newly founded SITZFORMEN department builds on our many years of experience in the field of CNC machining. In cooperation with our in-house plastics technician in the medical sector, we supply medical supply stores and orthopaedic mechanics with milled parts from the orthopaedic sector.
