The automotive industry, like most others, is susceptible to economic cycles, but the long-term worldwide trend is one of growth. The EMS-EFTEC mission is to provide consistently high-value products and services on a global basis and we are continuously extending our worldwide presence, in particular in the emerging markets in Asia, Eastern Europe and South America. Permanent progress in vehicle design calls for creative, intelligent and economical solutions. We at EMS-EFTEC are committed to the development of new technologies, materials and processes in close cooperation with our customers in order to successfully meet future challenges.
It is evident that the products we provide must meet the very highest standards of reliability and troublefree application. The fact that we meet these standards is demonstrated by the awards we have received from a large number of car makers for first-class quality and flawless service.
As an international company, we know the needs of the manufacturers of passenger cars, buses and trucks. We contribute to the success of our sophisticated customers with innovative products. EMS-EFTEC’s products are supplied in the form of pastes and liquids of various viscosity. Packaging sizes for vehicle manufacturers vary from bulk road tankers, containers and drums.
EMS-EFTEC supplies automotive manufacturers with adhesives for use in every stage of production, from body shop to final assembly.
One important example is the bonding of fixed windows. EMS-EFTEC bonding systems based on polyurethane, enable assembly to be automated, lend added strength to the body and help to reduce aerodynamic drag.
Car manufacturers use EMS-EFTEC coatings to protect against chip damage in vulnerable areas such as the underbody. These mastic compounds are extremely resilient to both mechanical and chemical attack.
Metal surfaces inside cavities in the bodywork are protected from corrosion by the use of waxes.
The seams encountered in the complex structure of a motor vehicle must be permanently sealed against the intrusion of moisture, dirt and noise. The sealant must also provide corrosion protection for the metals being joined. In this sector it is essential that the products supplied are of consistent high quality, thus enabling them to be applied fully automatically and hence cost-effectively.
With their automatic application system, pumpable sound deadening materials developed by EMS- EFTEC provide a cost-efficient solution to improve car interior comfort.
