尼古拉斯克雷亚公司一直将技术研发投资置于首位.
机床行业越来越富有动态性和竞争性，因此持续的创新能力和提供以客户为导向的新服务成为寻求业绩增长并创造价值的所有企业的核心资产.
尼古拉斯克雷亚公司秉承这一理念设立了强大的研发创新（R&D&I）部门，该部门除了参与公司自有项目外，还积极参加西班牙和欧洲的多个顶尖项目.
尼古拉斯克雷亚公司的研发创新（R&D&I）部门持续不断地成长，目前员工数占公司总体员工数的17%。它包含一支高级工程师团队，能研发多学科项目，并且由于日常工作语言为英语，该团队能在全球范围内完成协作.
除了探索新机床技术外，尼古拉斯克雷亚公司从事研发创新工作的另一重要目的是更好地满足客户的需求。为此，尼古拉斯克雷亚公司实施了多个内部计划，并参与了多个合作项目，力求对整个技术生产过程进行定义，从而为满足客户需求交出一份完美答案.
