RLE and Henkel associate

RLE International and Henkel have associated to form a strategic alliance to drive automotive innovation, expand value creation opportunities and become the premier ‘design-in’ engineering solution provider for the mobility industry. The association of two companies will work towards creating a ‘Mobility Alliance’ with advanced simulation capabilities of full vehicle crash behaviour to improve passenger safety and component design competence in terms of vehicle performance. It would also look at automotive mega trends and future mobility concepts driven by increasing environmental legislation, e-mobility and autonomous driving. While Henkel would bring to the table the advanced materials know-how in high performance adhesives and sealants, structural foams and sound-deadeners, RLE International will bring to the table its expertise in technologically sophisticated engineering of vehicle components and design. This joint approach to market will grant customers access to a unique global combination of long-term engineering knowhow and best-in-class material science. Enabling next generation design solutions and new levels of lightweight structures, through a holistic development approach from concept to launch and series production, RLE International and Henkel will ensure process security and sustainability of all development, engineering and material processes.
