History of the Foundation

© Otto Hänsel

In April 2001, the founder Otto Hänsel jun. and the then Rector of TU Dresden Magnifizenz Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Achim Mehlhorn signed the founding document of the Otto Hänsel Foundation at TU Dresden in Hanover.

The foundation was established to promote education and training in the field of processing and packaging technology as well as research in this area at TU Dresden and to create another important bridge between young engineers and scientists and industry. Today, his son Dr. Ralf-Otto Hänsel actively and imaginatively represents the interests of the founder.
