Material ConneXion

People in the know regard Material ConneXion as the world's largest collection of new and innovative materials and products. The company was founded by George M. Beylerian in 1997 in New York City. It provides information and inspiration to architects, engineers, industrial designers and interior designers about what is going on in the world of new materials in a wide range of industries.

The libraries contain more than three thousand material samples in the categories ceramics, glass, metal, polymers, carbonates, cement-based materials, natural materials and nature-based materials. Material ConneXion also offers marketing and consulting services for commercial and industrial customers on all material-related issues.

The first affiliate got off to a successful start in Milan in September 2002, and Material ConneXion's second international location followed in Cologne in January 2005. The licensee is SURVEY Marketing + Consulting. The company's managing partner acts at the President of the Cologne office.

As is the case in New York, companies or interested individuals can sign a contract with Material ConneXion Germany. This gives them access to all new materials and material systems, which a group of international experts have determined are innovative and have significant future potential. The collection is available in virtual format at www.materialconnexion.com. It is of interest to product developers and producers in all industries ranging from fashion and furniture to vehicle manufacturing.
