TANIQ started in 2006 as a spin-off company from the Aerospace Faculty of Delft University of Technology. Today, TANIQ still uses many of the lightweight engineering principles originating from the Aerospace industry. TANIQ’s objective is to transfer their technology to manufacturers in the rubber industry and help them to optimize their product designs and automate their production processes. TANIQ focuses on mandrel-built products which are difficult to automate in a traditional manner, because of the small volumes and large number of variety in parts.
