FRIMO and Hennecke form a strategic partnership

Amalgamation of technical expertise

"The synergies from the partnership provide absolute added value for our customers in the automotive industry," says Dr. Christof Bönsch, CEO of the FRIMO Group. "Under the partnership we are uniting the core competences of two companies who complement each other perfectly in terms of strategy and operation," continues Bönsch. The core segments of the partnership include the product areas moulded foam processing, elastomer processing, lightweight composites and PUR-CSM technology for polyurethane spray applications as well as flood injection for structural and decorative components.
