Thorsis Technologies GmbH (formerly ifak system GmbH)

For the fifth anniversary of the ifak, the ifak system GmbH was founded in addition to the non-profit institute. In order to actively transfer technology beyond research, products and services were added to the portfolio. For 20 years, ifak e.V. actively accompanied the spin-off company as a co-partner. The 25th anniversary of the association, which was celebrated in 2016, was taken as an opportunity to release the successfully developed company from its corporate independence from the institute. The company now operates independently on the market under the new name Thorsis Technologies GmbH. (www.thorsis.com)
