Unconditional excellence
========================

Excellence in every respect—this is a standard we live by in everything we do.

Galaxie® is a revolutionary gearbox with fundamentally superior kinematics.
It is a new, independent type of transmission and is superior to previous transmissions in all performance characteristics. Our invention is now also featured in important textbooks. In practice, the Galaxie® repeatedly triggers a complete rethinking of design – the basis for disruptive innovations.

WITTENSTEIN has been developing components for use in space for many years.
In 2012, the SHEFEX II missile took off on its first test flight into space. At that time, four WITTENSTEIN drives in the nose of the rocket were a central part of the flight control system.
Today, we are working in close alliance with the start-up [LEOspace](https://www.leospace.de/), which specializes in propulsion technology for space. The founders of this company are Dr. Manfred Wittenstein and Dr. Daniel Wittenstein.

An outstanding example of this is the ultra-compact 19-inch atto CMC. It is the world's first and only system that can be operated at
a base temperature of 2.3 K without cooling water or additional laboratory infrastructure. This revolutionizes quantum information processing.

At the Innovation Lab, we develop technologically innovative concepts that have the potential for disruptive innovations. In addition to pure transmission technology and mechanics or mechatronics, we are increasingly focusing on cybertronics.
Here, we use algorithms and AI to further develop products in order to create added value for our customers.

Pioneers on the road – that's the name of our innovative training concept, which takes up a medieval tradition and reinterprets it in the context of hiking.
Our aim is to promote the personal development and cultural education of young employees. After completing their training or studies, the road trip offers a very special experience abroad.
Young people set themselves a task and organize their stay. In doing so, they break new ground and broaden their horizons.
This helps them and, of course, our company to move forward.
