It is sponsor of a material award which the University of Applied Sciences in Würzburg awards annually to a student for outstanding performance. Already an established tradition is the annual materials and technology seminar held in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, which is estimated by the participants because of the expert speakers and lectures and also as a networking platform.
