When products are successfully launched on the market, it is usually only the result that is visible—not the long road that led to it. However, the development department of the Quarzwerke Group division HPF The Minerals Engineers regularly produces innovations that require a great deal of expertise, patience, and passion.
Pferd Bodensee 2026 began on February 27, 2026, and Quarzwerke is once again represented at the event. The international trade fair for equestrian sports, horse breeding, and horse husbandry will take place from February 27 to March 1, 2026, at the Friedrichshafen Exhibition Center.
When building modern equestrian facilities, choosing the right flooring is of paramount importance. It affects the health, safety, and performance of the horses as well as the cost-effectiveness, maintenance requirements, and longevity of the facility. This makes it all the more important to opt for well-thought-out, horse-friendly solutions right from the planning stage.
Our team is on site and looks forward to talking to builders, stable operators, and planners about the ideal flooring for horses—practical, customized, and with the well-being of animals and people in mind.
📍 Hall 5, Booth 404

For decades, quartz sands from Haltern have stood for the highest quality in the foundry industry. However, with increasing requirements – such as new binding systems and complex casting molds – the need for tailor-made solutions has grown. The answer: ready-made sands.
During an informational visit, Bavaria’s Minister of Finance and Home Affairs, Albert Füracker, gained insight into the current developments and strategic investments of Amberger Kaolinwerke.
Quality has always been a top priority at Quarzwerke. More than 100 years ago, we already had laboratories in our factories to ensure high standards. As our customers’ requirements grew, so did our standards—and so our central laboratory was established in 1955.
