The BMW Group has honored ASK Chemicals, Hilden, Germany, as one of its eight most innovative suppliers, in the sustainability category. CEO Frank Coenen accepted the award for the development of the INOTEC generation of inorganic binders for high-volume series production in engine casting.
The industrial implementation of this innovation was a joint feat by BMW and ASK Chemicals, which set high benchmarks for emissions protection and economy.
“In the years of collaborative development between ASK Chemicals and BMW, the composition and manufacture of inorganic binders were perfected to such a degree that they were able to replace organic binder systems in high-volume series production. This has enabled the BMW Group to implement zero-emission foundries and to further improve working conditions for its employees. At the same time, productivity and the
quality of the casting components have increased,” said BMW of its reasons for honoring ASK Chemicals.
Working together, BMW and ASK Chemicals have developed and brought to market a key technology for inorganic core production technology.
“The innovation award is an incentive for us to keep on researching and developing products, in order to bring these to industrial viability together with our partners. However, the idea and the innovative product are nothing without the resolute will of the user to successfully implement a new technology on an industrial scale,” said Coenen.
