The Hapticologist is taking the next big step and gaining five more strong partners. Starting in 2026, SIGG, Richartz, Polyclean, FARE, and Rheinwalt will be part of the community. These names stand for quality, innovation, and trust. The fact that they are now joining the movement shows the true strength of the idea behind The Hapticologist.
The journey to this point was anything but a given. It all began with an open application process. The joint decision of all members set the course. Now we celebrate this milestone that takes our journey to a whole new level.
What makes this moment so special?
- The community and the trust. Market leaders coming together at one table send a powerful signal.
- The momentum and the coolness we can all feel. The feedback from OMR 2025 and beyond was overwhelming.
- The vision and international growth. The Hapticologist is not meant to remain just a community, but to establish itself internationally as its own brand.
Steven Baumgaertner, the driving force behind the idea and CEO of cyber-Wear, is part of this pioneering brand collective: “What excites me most is the energy that emerges when everyone pulls in the same direction. That spirit is both the most surprising and the most beautiful thing about it.”
A huge thank you goes out to all existing members. Without your courage, trust, and belief, this moment would not exist. And one thing is certain: we’re only at the beginning. The journey has just begun.
