JEC World | Paris | March 10-12, 2026

D.I.S Germany GmbH — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 14:28:57 +0000

Review of the event | March 18, 2026

From 10 to 12 March, Paris hosted the JEC, the leading international exhibition for composite materials. We were pleased to be joined by our cooperation partner MIKROMAT GmbH at the joint booth of the Wirtschaftsförderung Sachsen GmbH.
During his tour of the joint booth, Dirk Panter, the Saxon State Minister for Economic Affairs, Labor, Energy, and Climate Protection, also spent a some minutes talking to us about Dresden and Pirna as technology hubs, pictured with Mike Schmidt, General Manager of D.I.S on the left and Thomas Warnatsch, managing partner at Mikromat on the right (picture in the middle).

Announcement | February 5, 2026

JEC World in Paris is the world’s leading trade fair for composites and their applications. As a global industry meeting place, it covers the entire value chain – from raw material extraction to the end product.

Over 1,300 exhibitors from more than 100 countries will be presenting their products and services, including industry giants such as Airbus and Dassault, as well as numerous start-ups, research institutes, and specialized SMEs. State-of-the-art fibers (carbon, glass, natural fibers), resins, innovative thermoplastics, and sophisticated manufacturing machines will be on display. There will be a special focus on 3D printing, automation solutions, and sustainable recycling technologies for lightweight components.

The trade fair is aimed at engineers, designers, purchasers, and decision-makers from key industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, energy (wind power), and sports and leisure. It is the central network for anyone looking for lighter, stronger, and more sustainable material solutions.

We will be there next week at a common booth together with our partner Mikromat from Dresden.
Visit our booth #5D97 and let´s talk about high-precision mechanical processing and analysis and modification of materials.

7th FORUM FUSION | Garching | January 12-13, 2026

D.I.S Germany GmbH — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 12:24:22 +0000

Review of the event | January 20, 2026

Political framework and strategic context

The AM-SHIELD project is going on

Germany has identified nuclear fusion as a strategic priority at the highest political levels, with the objective of establishing the world’s first commercial fusion plant on its territory. A Nuclear Fusion Action Plan (October 2025, status January 2026) outlines the following:

€2 billion in research, infrastructure, and demonstrator funding by 2029
Germany’s positioning as a leading research hub and export nation, with strong industry and startup integration
A political consensus that frames fusion as a game changer for CO₂-free, baseload energy. Notwithstanding substantial investments, the initial commercial grid operation is anticipated to occur around the year 2050. The plan is to achieve key technological and industrial milestones this decade.

On the conference sideline, a technical exchange was held with participants in the AM-SHIELD project (Fraunhofer IWS). The discourse centred on contemporary challenges and solutions in the domain of radiation-resistant materials and hybrid manufacturing strategies for fusion applications. In particular, the requirements for complex structural components in future fusion plants, and accelerated development and evaluation processes for new material concepts, were the subjects of discussion.

The AM-SHIELD project has been developed to combine additive and conventional manufacturing processes with a view to producing large-volume, functionally integrated structural components for fusion plants. The project also aims to efficiently evaluate the components’ suitability under fusion-relevant loads.

Conference content

The first conference day began with the official opening by Silke Launert within the framework of the Hightech Agenda Germany. Subsequent plenary sessions addressed national and European fusion strategies:

P. Schroth (BMFTR): Federal government action plan and funding landscape
E. Righi Steele (European Commission): European fusion strategy
P. Barabaschi (ITER Organization): Status and challenges of the ITER project
M. Lachaise (Fusion for Energy, F4E): Role of F4E in implementing European fusion infrastructure

In the afternoon, German start-ups presented their approaches:

Proxima Fusion: Quasi-isodynamic stellarator
Gauss Fusion: Integrated fusion power plant concept
Marvel Fusion: Inertial fusion using high-power lasers
Focused Energy: Additional laser-based fusion approaches

The program was complemented by contributions on enabling technologies, system concepts, fuel cycles, and the European fusion landscape.

The second conference day included contributions on ITER, F4E, and IFMIF-DONES, an overview of the German fusion alliance ProFusion, and a roundtable discussion on the regulatory framework (ReFus pilot project). Additional presentations addressed standardization issues (DIN), industrial perspectives (Go4Fusion / Framatome), and the scientific outlook of the IPP. The conference concluded with closing remarks by Dr. Arnd Baurichter (FILO).

On the afternoon of the second day, the Centre for Advanced Laser Applications (CALA) at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich was visited. The laboratory operates petawatt laser systems for research on high-intensity laser–matter interactions. In collaboration with Marvel Fusion, the laser is used to irradiate nanostructured fuel targets, which are relevant for laser-driven inertial fusion approaches.

Conclusions

Nuclear fusion as a target technology is clearly prioritized politically in Germany through the BMFTR and backed by long-term funding.
Participation of industry and start-ups is explicitly encouraged.
High-precision manufacturing, integrated R&D, and scalable industrial processes are key competencies for future fusion projects and are highly relevant to D.I.S Germany.

Announcement | January 5, 2026

The Fusion Industrial Liaison Office (FILO) Germany invites fusion-energy industry, stakeholders, experts, and enthusiasts to join the 7th Forum Fusion on 12-13 January, 2026 at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching.

FILO Germany is supported by the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), implemented by VDI Technologiezentrum (VDI TZ) and serves as the central platform connecting the German fusion ecosystem. FILO is a collaborative forum that brings together industry leaders, start-ups, research organisations and developers to advance fusion energy technologies and future power plants.

The portfolio of D.I.S Germany, which combines ion beam technology, vacuum technology, and ultra-high-precision manufacturing, offers key technologies for future fusion facilities.

We are on site in Garching with two colleagues to learn more about national and EU strategies in this area, to get to know some of the start-ups and development companies and to listen more generally about the global fusion landscape and special ongoing programs, for example ITER.

Review open house | Saturday August 23, 2025

D.I.S Germany GmbH — Sat, 23 Aug 2025 09:31:01 +0000

Last Saturday, we hosted a recruiting event at our company site in Pirna. Our advertising campaign in the run-up to the event was a resounding success. We attracted a large number of visitors from the surrounding area, both to take a look behind the scenes and to apply for a job with us. In a grand total of seven tours, our guides showed the flow of materials from the warehouse to production, the measuring room, cleaning and shipping, as well as our development area. After the tours, we had in-depth conversations with our visitors, who asked many interesting questions about our company. With strong winds and threatening dark clouds, we shortened our visitors‘ waiting time with hot coffee and ice cream from the local bakery Konditorei Schreiber.

We are delighted that we can now review the surprisingly large number of registered job seekers and invite them to further interviews. We would like to thank all visitors who are interested in the development of our company, all supporters and of course the whole D.I.S team for their amazing teamwork. Well done!

Please send us your application via our website career portal or by email.
