EMS-Grivory emerged as the winner in three of seven categories at the SPE Automotive Award Night 2022 in Düsseldorf. As a result, three applications developed by the specialist for high-performance polyamides based in the canton of Graubünden have been recognized as particularly innovative by the International Society for Plastics Technology (SPE).
According to a press release issued by the company, an electric water pump with housing, connection covers and impeller made of various Grivory HT1 materials was awarded first place in the New Mobility category. The solution is used by HELLA GmbH for the thermal management of electric and hybrid vehicles.
The electro pneumatic brake control module used by Haldex Brake Products for trailers also won first place in the Electronical/Optical Part category. It is also primarily made from Grivory HT1, but also features other EMS materials. Reliable functioning of the safety-relevant components during the long-term test phase was the decisive factor for using these EMS materials.
First place in the Body Interior category went to the center console support structure of KDK Automotive GmbH. Grivory GVS was used here due to its deep black appearance, dimensional stability and very good flow properties
EMS-Grivory is part of the High-Performance Polymers business unit of the EMS Group and employs 800 staff around the world. The largest development center is located in Domat/Ems in the canton of Graubünden, while the company operates additional production facilities in Germany, China, Taiwan and the USA.
