The Austrian Society for Plastics Engineering (GFKT) supports the training of young plastics engineers at the Higher Technical Federal Teaching and Research Institute (HTBLVA) Vienna XX, which is better known as TGM – The School of Technology. The machines and systems required for this are made available in cooperation with the industry.

The implementation of research projects from the plastics industry is also supported. For this purpose, GFKT has founded the Laboratory for Plastics Engineering (LKT Ges.m.b.H.), as a reliable partner for national and international projects in research and development.
