ContiTech value added partners show high-quality supplier achievements • Special booth provides insight into networked supplier partnerships • Patners gain in importance and assume added responsibility

Hanover, April 2014 . In the past few years, the special Value Added Partner (WeP) show has become a fixed feature of the ContiTech presence at the Hannover Messe.  At the Hannover Messe 2014, from April 7 to 11, the global technology company again sets an example for close collaboration with its suppliers (hall 6, booth F18). In collaboration with ContiTech, select suppliers show how important it is for industrial partners to interact with one another and trust one another when manufacturing a high-quality product. They also highlight the latest technical trends. The technologies of the value added partners extend from high-performance plastics through to systems solutions in mechanical engineering.

"Suppliers bear more and more responsibility in industrial processes," says Jens Fechner, who is in charge of market communication at ContiTech. "They assume a share of the development work and are integrated into our processes as partners. For us it is important and necessary to have at our disposal a responsbile and reliable overall process with innovative suppliers. It enables us to quickly advance sophisticated products to series-production readiness and to offer our customers added value. Industrial Supply is quite the right place to get the thoroughgoing quality of our innovations across to a broad public."

At the special booth, eight value added partners provide visitors information on their competencies and innovative technical solutions:  Abraham GmbH (CNC-processed ultra precise turned and milled parts), Calenberg Ingenieure GmbH (soundproofing and vibration insulation), Eilhauer Maschinenbau GmbH (systems solutions for machine building), Integer Solutions GmbH (labeling and identification technologies), Oriental Industries (Suzhou) Ltd (manufacture of industrial surface materials), P.Group SO.F.TER. Deutschland GmbH (surface refinement and heat treatment), Solvay Specialty Polymers Italy S.p.A. (high-performance plastic), SR Webatex GmbH (sophisticated textile surfaces).

In hall 6 at the Hannover Messe 2014, ContiTech presents its future-oriented technological expertise for industrial applications. This expertise is based on decades-long material and process competence. The highlights include intelligent functional materials and a polyurethane timing belt with carbon tensile member. It is up to withstanding maximum Forces.
