Maillefer and Celanese are collaborating in Switzerland to develop and validate advanced TPV materials and extrusion processes for automotive weather seals. This partnership offers manufacturers a sustainable, high-performance alternative to traditional EPDM rubber, which is often complex to manufacture and challenging to recycle.
The company is a global player in the communication network industry. Their team of over 25,000 people serve customers worldwide. With one Maillefer line, they can make a daily profit of €50,000. "Future looks bright. The need of bandwidth in communication networks keeps growing. New communication technologies require more innovative solutions."
Wanma Cable has significantly expanded its capacity for greener power cables by installing Maillefer’s hybrid extrusion systems, including EPL30 lines for XLPE and EPL50 high-voltage lines with hybrid capabilities. Our Multipurpose CV line enables them to produce both traditional XLPE and advanced PP-TPE insulated cables, aligning with evolving market demands.
Maillefer, in collaboration with OFS Cable, introduced the Smart Buffering system, the world’s first autonomous AI-controlled cable production line for optical fiber manufacturing. This AI-driven process controller operates on Maillefer’s secondary coating lines, significantly enhancing process quality with fewer variations and ensuring consistent product quality.
Maillefer partnered with Belden-Duna to modernize their EKP 50 take-ups, replacing outdated analog controls with a new PLC upgrade. László Varga, Maintenance Manager, states, “By replacing the analog controls with a new PLC upgrade, the lifetime is now longer for the EKP.”
Toppi, a long-standing customer, recently invested in a complete Maillefer automotive pipe & hose extrusion line to meet evolving market demands. According to Pasi Toppi, Managing Director, “Each time we update our lines, we review the current offerings – and Maillefer meets the standard.”
