A Day of Technical Innovation on Busbars with Syensqo and CLAYENS
On November 6, the Syensqo and CLAYENS teams met at the CLAYENS Doubs (ex NP SIMONIN) site for a day of technical reflection focused on busbar manufacturing.
A partnership to anticipate tomorrow’s technical challenges
With the rise of electric vehicles and modern industrial infrastructures, the high-voltage busbar market is experiencing rapid growth. This meeting aimed to strengthen the partnership between Syensqo and CLAYENS by exploring market trends and examining the technical implications of the advanced materials provided by Syensqo.
What is a busbar?
A busbar is an electrical component designed to carry large amounts of current. Typically made of copper or aluminum, it serves as a central distribution point in electrical systems such as control panels, transformers, or industrial installations.
Overmolded busbars, on the other hand, are encapsulated in an insulating material (resin or thermoformed plastic), which enhances their safety, compactness, and robustness.
CLAYENS: unique expertise in metal-plastic engineering
With its expertise in combining metal and plastic solutions, CLAYENS aims to position itself in this rapidly expanding market. Currently, some technical limitations, such as metal cutting thickness, need to be overcome. However, the company is actively exploring innovative solutions to meet the sector’s needs.
During this day, CLAYENS brought together its experts, procurement and engineering management – Alexandra Teleki, Jérémy Guivarc’h, Olivier Tourneret, Mario Da Mota Pais, Jérôme Bellaton, and Laurent Maire – to collaborate with Syensqo’s teams on addressing high-voltage busbar challenges.
Syensqo: advanced materials driving performance
As a strategic partner of CLAYENS, Syensqo provides materials specifically designed for overmolded busbars. These materials meet stringent requirements for thermal resistance, dimensional stability, and corrosion protection. They play a vital role in enhancing the compactness and durability of busbars, particularly in high-voltage applications such as electric vehicles.
A promising future for innovation
This collaboration between Syensqo and CLAYENS reflects a shared commitment to innovation and the development of technological solutions tailored to a rapidly evolving market. Thanks to this synergy, CLAYENS is preparing to tackle tomorrow’s challenges in high-performance electrical systems.
