NEVEON steps on the gas in the molded foam field

Whether in the comfort sector, in mobility or in various special applications: the areas of application for molded foam are innumerable. For this reason, we are expanding our existing infrastructure to include a competence center for molded foam in Valašské Mezirící, Czech Republic.

The Valašské Mezirící Molded Foam Competence Center

In order to turn our plans into reality, in July a 52,000 m² property was purchased. This is located in Valašské Meziříčí in the east of the Czech Republic and consists of 18,700 m² of production facilities, which contain 1,300 m² of office space and the appropriate machinery and wich will be our new Molded Foam Competence Center. The Competence Center will in particular serve the Mobility business area by rounding off our portfolio in the acoustics and thermal solutions segments.

Molded foam is incredibly versatile

Molded foam is a genuine all-rounder and is used in many variations in a wealth of diverse areas. Basically, a distinction is made on the one hand between PU molded foam systems, such as flexible foam, rigid foam, integral skin foam, memory foam, molded foam with solid particles (graphite molded foam), and on the other hand microparticle foams (EPP foams). In the case of the former group, the production process is rather like cake making, as a liquid, reactive mass is cast into a mold. Owing to a chemical reaction, this subsequently expands and by the end of foaming fills the mold completely. The parts thus produced can then be further processed.

The microparticle foam production process is different and involves expanded polypropylene balls (EPP balls), which are blown into a mold and combine to form 3D microparticle components under the effect of steam. As the Head of Smart Materials & Products, Norbert Hessenberger, explains, “With our new Molded Foam Competence Center we will realize market potential in both the PU molded foam and EPP foam areas. All three business units will thus profit and Mobility above all.”

We love a good night's sleep!
Happy World
Sleep Day

In order to live up to our full potential, full of energy and refreshed, we spend almost a third of our lives sleeping. What sounds almost paradoxical is easily explained when we take a closer look at the regenerative miracle of sleep from all angles. And that is precisely why restful sleep is so close to our hearts, and not just on World Sleep Day, which we naturally celebrate with all our foam-filled hearts.

siro.tank.TI.N - cut your energy costs and safeguard the environment!

It is not only in times of high energy prices that the warmth employed in hot water tanks should not dissipate unused into the atmosphere, but instead remain stored inside. It is precisely this goal that is achieved with NEVEON’s innovative siro.tank.TI.N thermal insulation.

The magic circle in our colourful world of foam

NEVEON’s multiplicity of foam solutions is based on an incredibly wide range of differing foam types. These are manufactured daily in-house at our locations with foam production lines. Therefore, in order to discuss what actually happens during production and the everyday challenges that our foam masters face, we spoke to Wolfgang Santer from Technical Development & Services.
