ASK Chemicals Receives BMW Innovation Award for Sustainability ASK获BMW可持续发展创新奖
Te BMW Group has honored ASK Chemicals, Hilden,
Germany, as one of its eight most innovative suppliers, in the sustainability category. CEO Frank Coenen accepted the award for the development of the INOTEC generation of inorganic binders for high-volume series production in engine casting. Te industrial implementation of this innovation was a joint
feat by BMW and ASK Chemicals, which set high benchmarks for emissions protection and economy. “In the years of collaborative development between ASK
Chemicals and BMW, the composition and manufacture of inor- ganic binders were perfected to such a degree that they were able to replace organic binder systems in high-volume series produc- tion. Tis has enabled the BMW Group to implement zero- emission foundries and to further improve working conditions for its employees. At the same time, productivity and the quality of the casting components have increased,” said BMW of its reasons for honoring ASK Chemicals. Working together, BMW and ASK Chemicals have devel- oped and brought to market a key technology for inorganic core production technology. “Te innovation award is an incentive for us to keep on
researching and developing products, in order to bring these to industrial viability together with our partners. However, the idea and the innovative product are nothing without the reso- lute will of the user to successfully implement a new technol- ogy on an industrial scale,” said Coenen. ■
ASK化学公司获得BMW集团授予的最具可持续发 展创新奖，是8个获奖供应商企业之一。ASK公司CEO Frank Coenen将这一奖项归功于无机粘结剂INOTEC 的研发，该产品可用于发动机铸件的大批量生产。 这一创新产品的成功研发是BMW和ASK公司共同努 力的成果，为污染物排放和经济效益设立了高标准。 BMW对于ASK的获奖理由是：“经ASK与BMW公 司多年的合作研发，无机粘结剂的成分和生产得到了 完善，能够取代大批量生产中使用的有机粘结剂。这 使BMW集团实现工厂的零排放，因而进一步改善了员 工的工作环境。同时，生产效率和铸件质量也得到了 提高。”
BMW和ASK公司已共同研发并将无机制芯生产的关 键技术引入市场。
Coenen说：“获得这个创新奖，对我们继续进行产 品研发是一个激励，我们与合作伙伴共同将创新产品应 用于工业生产中。然而，如果没有用户在生产中采用 新技术的决心，这些创新理念和创新产品也将无法实 现。” ■
