Next-level EV Tape Solutions in Europe
With the transition of mobility and transportation towards more battery electric vehicles, the need for solutions that allow EV batteries to last longer, reach further and maximize safety even in high power-density pack designs is growing fast. As a key solution provider in the automotive and EV industry, Saint-Gobain® has created new capabilities at our site in Kolo, Poland. Capabilities specifically designed to help serve European customers with high-end materials even better and provide added value that goes beyond industry leading tape solutions.
How Customers Can Benefit from New Capabilities
A completely new production line together with internal restructuring has just been launched to maximize added value for our customers. Located in the heart of Poland, where our customers benefit from minimized lead times and high flexibility in serving market and customer needs, the new thermal management production line is specialized to maximize efficiency in manufacturing thermally conductive silicone gasketing foams — especially for EV battery and powertrain system applications.
State-of-the-art equipment paired with smart and innovative design details provides the highest safety and protection of workers while guaranteeing excellent product quality and world-class production efficiency. Combined with outstanding conversion capabilities and expertise of the local teams, having all relevant production steps in-house is a big advantage and time-saver for the automotive industry.
A Great Team Effort
Launching the new production line three months before the planned completion date is a great success story for the team. This was only made possible through close collaboration between Saint-Gobain Tape Solutions experts from North America, Asia and the local teams in Poland, as well as other European countries, making this a real global achievement.
