Simcon Gmbh is a worldwide leading vendor of software for injection molding simulation, cost calculation and CAE services.

SIMCON kunststofftechnische software GmbH was founded in Aachen, Germany in 1988 with the aim to develop, apply and sell software for plastic processing.

From the beginning simcon was active worldwide as software and service vendor by license partners.

The highly motivated simcon team comprises plastic engineers, mathematicians and software developers. A lot of simcon co-workers already have more than 10 years of professional experience in the rather young business of process simulation.

The SIMCON specialists work in the vicinity of more than 20 very qualified high-tech plastic-technology companies operating in different areas of plastic processing.

Additional to that SIMCON has a close co-operation with the Technical University of Aachen (RWTH), Germany, especially with the Institute of Plastic Processing (IKV).

Since it was founded in 1950, the Institut für Kunststoffverarbeitung (IKV) has stood for research, innovation and technology transfer with a bearing on practice. The Institute is run by an Association of Sponsors, which currently has a membership of 300 companies from the plastics sector worldwide. The members of this Association of Sponsors benefit from their cooperation with the Institute by being able to exploit advantages from innovative developments at a particularly early stage.
Professor Dr.-Ing. E.h. Walter Michaeli is Director of the Institute and Managing Director of the Association of Sponsors. He is also Professor of Plastics Processing at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Aachen University.

At present, the Institute has a staff of 140, including 80 scientists, who are engaged in research, development and training, with the aim of providing industry with solutions to the problems encountered in practice.

The IKV has proven its capabilities in a large number of projects.

Individual projects, and also those conducted in cooperation with industry as industrial research projects frequently lead to high-quality product ideas and developments.

In line with the transfer of technology, which constitutes one of the Institute's objectives, these ideas and developments are of benefit not only to big companies, but more especially to small and medium-sized ones too.
