Dr. Bodo Richter is our new Managing Director in Toni Technik
Toni Technik is pleased to welcome Dr. Bodo Richter as a successor who will continue the foundation through our 150 years in the market and strengthen the structure to further develop Toni Technik as a leader in the building materials testing equipment industry.
For more than a month now, the highly motivated team has been implementing this process with our new Managing Director and anchoring it in our corporate culture.
Let’s get to know Dr. Bodo Richter a bit better with this interview:
Hello Mr. Richter, your studies of chemistry and your further activities in science have certainly aroused your interest in the cement and building materials testing industry. Your vast experience as a managing director as well as a production manager will certainly have an important influence in this new role. Can you tell us something about your expectations at Toni Technik?
My chemistry studies have given me some insights into the building materials industry. My professional orientation in recent years shows many parallels and I am convinced that I can contribute important ideas to Toni Technik and its products, especially in the areas of digitalization, cross-linking and automation.
What was your motivation to join Toni Technik?
I really enjoy working in companies where I can lead and at the same time have personal contact with employees, customers, and partners. That makes my job even more enjoyable. The size and nature of the projects carried out at Toni Technik create a perfect atmosphere for me. I am also fascinated by technically sophisticated products, which I would like to develop further for the benefit of our customers. I see a lot of parallels with my previous career paths, which allow me to think outside the box and take on other perspectives.
Now let's talk about our strategy for the next 5 years. Can you please tell us some of your highlights?
For me, the very clear focus is on our customers and service. Toni Technik is known for the quality and durability of its machines, and we want to expand this position further together. This can only succeed if we understand the requirements of our customers and are able to offer them the right solutions. Furthermore, the customer relationship does not end with the delivery, we are known for our excellent service. It is important to consolidate and develop this position.
A great milestone for Toni Technik: ToniSET Force!
We delivered our first finished unit of ToniSET Force to Technical university of Berlin which is designed for the material testing of 3D concrete printing material.
Ms. Ursula Pott, the scientific researcher at the Department of building materials and construction chemistry , Technical university of Berlin is receiving the first unit at their laboratory premises from the product management team of Toni Technik. We have been collaborating with TU Berlin since last year for developing a unit for the Slow Penetration Sphere Test exclusively for the testing of 3D printing concrete. We thank Prof. Dr. Dietmar Stephan and Ms. Ursula Pott for this important study conducted with our prototype contributing a very informative research paper which will be useful and serve as a reference for all the research and development professionals in 3D concrete printing industry.
29th testXpo - International Trade Fair for Materials Testing in Ulm, Germany
testXpo is back. We are pleased to announce to all our customers that we will be able to meet again in person in Ulm, Germany.
The 29th testXpo will take place from October 11 to 14, 2021. Together with more than 20 co-exhibitors, we would like to present all our technological developments of the past years as well as our future projects.
We will have the opportunity to serve our customers and local partners with two different teams: one team will be part of the "on-site team" in Ulm, together with the ZwickRoell Group on approx. 3,500 m² and its almost 200 working exhibits. Another team will be available virtually to provide information and answer questions from Berlin for all interested parties around the world in parallel to the exhibition.
JLZ Logistica acts as our representative in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia

The cooperation between JLZ and Toni Technik goes back as far as 2003 and has developed into a strong partnership. JLZ also represents ZwickRoell. Our ties have been strengthened over the years with several joint customer visits, participation in meetings with the German-Peruvian Chamber of Commerce and events organized by the VDMA.
Toni Technik participates in Expo Virtual Alemania
For more than a year we have been actively pursuing the idea of presenting ourselves more online. Participation in the virtual trade show Expo Virtual Germany was an excellent opportunity to strengthen our presence in the Latin American market.
Between the 6th and 9th June we could maintain, reactivate, and expand business between Latin American countries.
The fair brought together more than 300 exhibitors from 20 countries, whereof 179 visited our virtual stand located in the Machinery sector pavilion
