Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research, Research institute in Brunswick, Germany
The Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research investigates wood materials, develops sustainable components, and creates chemical products from renewable resources at their Brunswick facilities.
Established in 1946 by Dr. Wilhelm Klauditz, the institute emerged from the post-war need to efficiently utilize scarce wood resources in Germany.
The institute maintains strong connections with local industries and universities, fostering knowledge transfer in wood science through research partnerships and educational programs.
Researchers at the facility conduct material testing, quality assessments, and process optimization for wood products using specialized laboratory equipment and testing chambers.
The institute specializes in transforming plant residues and waste materials into valuable resources through innovative recycling processes and bio-based material development.
