Meet our industrial partner HEPENIX
HEPENIX is a trusted state-of-the-art engineering company providing custom machinery and services for its partners in the automotive, customer and nuclear industries. Our list of services includes mechanical, electrical and software engineering, project handling for assembly lines, robotics, automation and vision systems, production, installation and maintenance of tailor-made machinery, product development, consultancy and expertising, engineering calculations and FEM analysis, simulations and virtual commissioning. HEPENIX is continuously involved in research and development projects in close cooperation with academic research institutes and universities.

​Why we are motivated to participate in the rEUman Project?
As a manufacturing company with a strong R&D focus, we’re always seeking innovative ways to advance industries. We see remanufacturing as a crucial process for resource conservation, waste reduction, and long-term sustainability — issues that are increasingly important for both manufacturers and consumers. By participating in this project, we can extensively research and directly influence the design and development of machinery tailored to remanufacturing needs, such as robotized but still human-centric complex disassembly, ensuring compatibility with refurbished components, and improving material reuse efficiency. This involvement also allows us to integrate valuable insights into our R&D, keeping us at the forefront of technological innovation. Ultimately, it strengthens our role as a leader in the emerging need towards machinery that supports the circular economy and sustainability agenda. We’re excited to be part of this transformative journey, shaping the future of manufacturing.
