2025 was a particularly eventful year for us: countless exciting discussions, customer contacts, and joint projects made our anniversary year something very special. Our highlights included the big anniversary celebration in July, the reaccreditation of our laboratory in Dubai, and the opening of our new location in Lublin, Poland.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to all our customers and contacts for their trust, cooperation, and valuable exchange.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We will be closed for the holidays from December 19 through January 4. We will be back to business as usual on January 5.
New challenges and exciting tasks await us again in 2026 – we look forward to shaping the future together with you.
We are delighted to have been officially awarded the BSFZ seal for research-active companies. The BSFZ thus confirms that IFO GmbH implements eligible development projects, thereby strengthening its research and development expertise.
As the central testing agency in Germany for research allowances, the BSFZ audits companies within the framework of the Research Allowance Act. The award underscores our commitment to progress and quality in Germany, to actively promoting technological innovations, and to developing forward-looking solutions.
Since June 2023, the BSFZ seal has been open to companies and offers partner and customers transparent guidance on a company's innovative strength and research activities.
We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our IAS certification renewal.
Along with the renewal, we were able to extend our scope with the following nine new test methods for our laboratory in Dubai:
In addition to our ISO 17025 accreditation, the IAS (International Accreditation Service) accreditation confirms our laboratory as an independent and internationally recognized testing laboratory.
Last Friday, we celebrated out 30th anniversary with a summer party at our company headquarters in Schwäbisch Gmünd. Around 250 invited guests – including employees, customers, partners, and long-time companions – accepted our invitation and experienced a day full of connection, insight, and good atmosphere.
We opened the afternoon with an in-house exhibition: Guests were given the opportunity to get to know our diverse areas of work and tale guided tours through our laboratory facilities for a behind-the-scenes look.
After a festive champagne reception, we moved on to the festively decorated tent. With fresh ice cream, cool drinks and barbecued food, there was not only culinary enjoyment - the focus was also on personal interaction.
A varied program rounded off the day: An interview with our four company founders offered exciting insights into the history of the company's origins. Swabian cabaret artist Ernst Mantel provided the best entertainment. Musical entertainment was provided by The Wow. Finally, our DJ got the guests dancing.
We would like to express our sincere thanks for the numerous congratulations, beautiful gifts - and above all for the personal encounters.
We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas, joyful holidays, and a wonderful start to the New Year 2025!
One special highlight this season was our Christmas celebration. At QUBUS and IFO, the gift-giving spirit had already arrived: as an extra token of appreciation for their dedication, all employees received thoughtfully curated gifts filled with delicious treats.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who accompanied us throughout the year! Let’s step into the new year together with confidence. Here’s to a successful and healthy 2025!
Your QUBIFO Team
