Research & Development

Research & Development is of enormous importance to Océ. Owing to Océ’s consistent, innovative and technological approach, the company’s products have built up an excellent reputation for quality, speed and user friendliness.

Océ R&D activities take place in nine different countries worldwide. The R&D department in Venlo has around 800, mainly graduate, employees, and is the fourth largest such department in the Netherlands. Another 800 or so R&D staff work in Océ laboratories in Belgium, Germany, France, Romania, Japan, Singapore, Canada and the United States.

In these R&D laboratories Océ develops high-tech printers and digital information systems which are outstandingly efficient, reliable and easy to operate. Océ colleagues are also accustomed to working together in multidisciplinary teams. It is quite normal for computer scientists, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, physicists, chemists and industrial designers to work together in one team.
