💡 At #CISMAproject we drive innovation in sustainable metallurgy, contributing to a greener, more efficient future for automotive manufacturing #greensteels Last week we participated at CUPRA Material Innovation Hub to present CiSMA research, together with two related European projects: #COOPHS and SALEMA EU 🤝 Collaboration between research institutions, steelmakers and OEMs is key for the decarbonisation of the #automotive industry.

We have been introduced to society. A few weeks ago we informed you about our incorporation in CEP - Centro Español de Plásticos. Now, they introduce us to the rest of the partners, as well as Nexeo Plastics and Zeper. Get to know the road we have traveled and where we want to go: INERTIM RESEARCH, S.L. was founded five years ago as a company focused on the design and development of #mechatronic systems for the #automotive industry, in which talent, #innovation and passion for a job well done are the differential tools to make a difference. differential tools to drive growth in a to drive growth in a highly competitive highly competitive market, such as the transportation and automotive and automotive market. Its differential values are innovative designs, lighter, made with new materials and own and unique methodologies in the market, at very competitive prices with respect to other mechatronic auto parts manufacturers in the automotive sector. In its first five years, Inertim has produced more than 500,000 electronics and 1 million units of mechanical systems in more than 30 projects with multiple customers, including sunroofs, tailgate structures and electronic locks. Today, 100% of the electronics of the HCMF Group, a Taiwan-based company in the automotive sector with a turnover of more than 1 billion USD/year, are designed in Spain by Inertim. At its R&D Center in the Villalonquejar Industrial Park in Burgos, Inertim has participated in important projects such as important projects such as Rupthermat: Research and Development of Ultralight Structural Thermoplastic Materials for their Application in Semi-Structural Automotive Components, in collaboration with the CIDAUT Foundation. Likewise, within the PERTE VEC-I initiative, it formed part of the SoNNMESyC Consortium, with the R&D project: Innovation in Manufacturing Processes for Low Weight Thermoformed Components. We recently obtained certification in Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001:2015) and Environment (ISO 14001: 2015) and will soon be certified in Information Security and Privacy Management Systems (ISO 27001: 2022). All these standards are internationally valued and highly demanded by global automotive and transport manufacturers for which Inertim will be a direct supplier with products that will start to be produced in 2024 at its headquarters in Spain.

🚗 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀! 🚗 Are mega castings the key to transforming automotive production, or do they bring more risks than opportunities? 🌍🔧 Join us at the upcoming Aachen Colloquium Sustainable Mobility to find out. Our experts, Alexander Klos from TSETINIS≡EFESO and Christian Harter from fka GmbH, will present "Mega Castings: Business Case Opportunities and Threats Along the Value Chain," shedding light on how this innovative process is revolutionizing production efficiency, cost savings, and supply chain management. 🚀💡 Through a real-world case study, they'll showcase the vast potential for innovation and profit while delving into the sustainability battle between mega castings and traditional welded steel structures. 📈♻️ 💡 Curious about the future of automotive manufacturing? Don’t miss this opportunity to gain critical insights and stay ahead of the curve! #AachenColloquium #SustainableMobility #Innovation #Automotive

What impact will electromobility have on foundry companies like us? 🤔 A transformation in mobility brings changes - without question. But what do these changes look like? The "Casting technology and e-mobility" conference will address this question precisely. The conference will present how casting technology processes, production methods and value chains are changing as a result of the electrification of the powertrain and what this means for the positioning of foundries on the market. As a foundry company and partner to the automotive industry, we are dealing with exactly these questions and are one of the 5 exhibitors on site. Our trade fair team Carolin Neumann and Martin Seidel will be talking to experts on 📆 June 10 and 11 about how we are mastering this change and supporting it as a prototype supplier. #conference #foundry #emobility VDI e.V.

Under the topic “Technology trends in foundry technology”, the VDG Landesgruppe Bayern in cooperation with GTM - Gießereitechnik München and Fraunhofer IGCV invited to the Barbara Conference. How can #suppliers and #foundries work together to advance the #technology? Stefan Kneer was able to present Handtmann with his guest lecture “Think Big! Growing potential for large parts in die casting” as a driver of technology trends. It is technological progress that gives rise to new products and production techniques. Innovations are not only the basis for growth, but also a decisive factor for the competitiveness of companies. Thank you very much for the invitation. AND WHY BARBARA CONFERENCE 😉 December 4th is Barbara Day and St. Barbara is also the patron saint of foundries Greetings to all foundries and employees in the industry, to all professions that have St. Barbara as their patron saint, to all Barbaras in this world #handtmann #ideasforthefuture #megacasting #lightmetalcasting #innovations #automotive #emobility

🌍 Soitec at the Final Review of the TRANSFORM Project at Bosch Last week, Soitec participated in the final review of the EU-funded TRANSFORM project at Bosch's Renningen facility. This milestone marks the culmination of a groundbreaking initiative that has significantly advanced silicon carbide (#SiC) technology in Europe. It involves 33 partners across the value chain and the TRANSFORM project is set out to various objectives including proving the versatility of European #SiC technology in real-world applications. For us, #TRANSFORM has been pivotal in: ✅ Developing and refining our SmartSiC™ substrate ✅ Advancing materials and Smart Cut™ technology ✅ Delivering our 150mm SmartSiC commercial product in 2024 ✅ Validating compatibility of SmartSiC with leading partners such as STMicroelectronics, Bosch, CEA-Leti, AIXTRON SE, TU Chemnitz, and FhG IISB ✅ Supporting the creation of Bernin 4, our new fab dedicated to SmartSiC, inaugurated in September 2023 And the journey doesn’t stop here: the success of #TRANSFORM paves the way for Fastlane, a new project, coordinated by Valeo launched in May 2024 to accelerate the development of next-generation 150mm and 200mm SmartSiC substrates. We're proud to be part of this ecosystem driving sustainable, high-performance solutions for a greener and more connected future. #SmartSiC #SiliconCarbide #Sustainability #Innovation #EuropeanCollaboration
