Based on its strong industry and systems expertise, HEIDELBERG has adopted an approach centered on dual-use technologies to systematically tap into additional markets in the areas of defense, security, energy, charging infrastructure, and industrial system solutions. One key aspect of this strategy is combining all relevant activities under the umbrella of HD Advanced Technologies GmbH.  By systematically building up its defense business, HEIDELBERG has established a further new mainstay alongside its e-mobility subsidiary Amperfied. One example of this strategy in action is ONBERG, a joint venture with the US‑Israeli technology company Ondas that is focusing on autonomous anti-drone defense and security systems. The plan under this collaboration is to initially use the Brandenburg site for the sale and distribution of state-of-the-art anti-drone systems and subsequently industrialize these systems and put them into series production at the site. This strategy is drawing attention to the technological strength of HEIDELBERG in new markets, too.

Ahlstrom-Munksjö continues to focus on the growth segment of electrification, enhancing its latest product offering, totally dedicated to filtration media solutions for electric vehicles. The new solutions complement the products launched in May which included filtration solutions for cabin air, transmission and cooling systems. “I am very pleased to introduce our enhanced and expanded range of products from the FiltEV® platform,” said Cedric Vallet, Head of Business Development, Industrial Filtration & New Vehicles. “Through the enhancement of our cabin air portfolio, we are offering new filtration solutions delivering better protection for passengers. Better protection against fine particulates, thanks to HEPA media particulate efficiency, and against harmful gases and odours, thanks to increased absorption of a wide range of molecules.”
