Frimo and Hennecke are forming a strong international partnership in providing polyurethane and other reactive plastics processing technology for the automotive industry. The cooperation between the two parties will only involve products and systems related to the production of passenger cars.
The application of polyurethane in the fields of commercial vehicles, motorcycles and agricultural vehicles usually requires highly specialized technical solutions, which are very different from the passenger vehicle business line in terms of the level of output and system technology specialization. The project will continue to be managed separately by the two companies.
In terms of cooperation related to the production of passenger cars, both companies will focus on their core competitiveness.
Frimo will contribute its core competitive advantages in molded foam, elastomers and composites. In addition to the new system, the company will also provide services related to retrofitting (upgrading, retrofitting and modernization of machine and system technology), as well as total Technical services.
During the cooperation, Frimo will also provide all spare parts sales in the affected product areas.
The company will completely stop producing metering systems and mixing heads, focusing on providing mold technology, system technology, peripheral equipment and related services.
In the future, all parts related to raw material processing will be exclusively manufactured by Hennecke and will be provided to all market sectors.
In this collaboration, Hennecke will contribute to the metering and mixing head technology used in the automotive industry, as well as all other systems used to process raw materials, including storage, transportation, preparation, and processing systems. Hennecke will also provide peripheral equipment needed for various applications.
In the future, Frimo will be responsible for selling Hennecke products from the scope of cooperation, providing new systems and comprehensive services.
As a professional polyurethane technology company, Hennecke will focus on its core competitiveness in high and low pressure metering foaming equipment, provide personalized metering foaming equipment other than automotive applications, and be used in refrigeration units and blocks. System technology for the production of foam and sandwich panels.
For customers, the benefits are obvious, including: comprehensive system solutions, customized services from one supplier, only one contact person, and a unified user interface from mold to factory automation to process technology.
Through extremely close cooperation, the two companies are committed to maximizing the transparency and continuity of good quality.
