Our areas of expertise:

Acoustics
Our acoustics experts develop, test and produce vehicle components and integrate
them into tailored, multifunctional systems and modules. We utilize comprehensive
measurement technologies to characterize materials and treatments and to
generate a well-engineered sound package. This systematic approach encompasses
specific performance targets for all components so we can integrate the parts into
an optimized solution.

Thermal Management
In thermal management, we develop products and solutions for thermal protection
and comfort. Our expertise is based on experimental tests and numerical simulation
methodologies together with test benches and actual running conditions. This
in-depth know-how and experience provides unmatched support to our partners
and customers who wish to increase vehicle comfort and value.

Our values
This is what keeps us in line with our long-term principles: Delight your customers.
Enjoy your work. Fight for profits. Furthermore, we are guided by the six values
Passion, Accountability, Innovation, Global Spirit, Continuous Improvement and
Simplicity. These principles represent our company as we want it to be and support
us in our will to find solutions to the major challenges in our business of today. Our
employees worldwide share these values and contribute to living them every day.

Adding value to vehicles

Innovation is a critical competitive factor.

With our core competencies and drive for
innovation, we offer improved solutions to
our customers products. Multifunctional
and lightweight components, a significant
trend in the automotive sector, are adding
value to vehicles.
In our global Research & Technology Center of Excellence
at the headquarters and in several Acoustic and Development Centers around the world, specialists develop, test
and optimize new products and solutions in intensive
cooperation with our customers. Our core competencies
in acoustics and thermal management form the basis
for customizing solutions to our customers requirements.
Our in-depth knowledge and experience with plastics,
fibers, foam and composite materials are the driving
force behind our range of best-performing and innovative
solutions.

An example of a multifunctional component is our

thermo-acoustic engine encapsulation based on
the technology Theta-FiberCell. By keeping the engine
bay warm for more efficient cold starting, this innovative, multifunctional and lightweight technology
saves fuel. At the same time, it reduces engine noise.

Sustainability

Our answer to technology trends

Eco-efficiency

Far-reaching changes in the

automotive industry demand
innovative and sustainable
concepts. Autoneums expertise
in acoustic and thermal
management is ready to face
these challenges.

From design, via development

and through the complete product
life cycle, our primary concern
is to minimize environmental
impact. We not only reduce
the environmental impact during
the whole life cycle of our products.
With our technologies, we also
minimize energy consumption
and create closed-loop systems.
Additionally, our eco-efficient
plants help achieve superior
production procedures.

New requirements
The trend towards smaller, downsized engines requires
a different approach due to reduced mass, gasoline
direct injection and other factors. New concepts, such as
hybrid power trains with their combination of electric
drive and supporting combustion engine, need special
acoustic and thermal treatment.
Reducing emissions
The key target of many technology trends is CO2
reduction. New governmental regulations and growing
public awareness lead to an increased demand
for weight-reducing and aerodynamic components.
Autoneum is a specialist for lightweight products.
For instance, its underbody shields based on
Ultra-Silent technology offer acoustic insulation and
lightweight aerodynamic properties, thereby improving fuel economy and lowering emissions. Optimized
thermal management through engine encapsulation
leads to less CO2 emissions.
Minimizing exterior noise
A further aspect of increased regulation and a priority
in automotive manufacturing is the reduction of
exterior automotive noise. Our effective solutions
engineered for engine bay as well as underfloor
and under engine shields do not just lower noise levels.
We support our customers in enhancing overall
vehicle efficiency.
