On is launching the Cloud X 5 with a midsole made of EVA foam produced using captured CO2 emissions. The company says the solution has scaled to more than one million pairs and, according to an LCA, reduces modeled carbon impact by more than 80% compared with conventional EVA.
Syensqo will support the MV-75 Cheyenne program for the U.S. Army by supplying composites, adhesives and specialty polymers for key structural and rotorcraft components. The materials are intended to meet requirements for lightweighting, durability and thermal resistance.
Igus is introducing the C6 cable carrier for cleanrooms with the e-spin guiding system. Certified by Fraunhofer IPA to ISO Class 1, the solution is intended to enable the transmission of energy and data over distances of up to 30 metres while limiting particle emissions.
Starlim uses Wittmann MicroPower production cells to manufacture silicone micro parts for medical, electronics and automotive applications. Process precision, control stability and integrated quality control are key factors in this area.
Syensqo has launched Repel-O-Tex Crystal Premium, a new generation soil release polymer for liquid laundry detergents. The solution was developed for shorter and colder wash cycles and compatibility with concentrated formulations and pouches.
Norda and Envalior have introduced the norda 055 with an Arnitel midsole. The shoe was developed for ultra long-distance races and demanding technical terrain.
Belgian mineral water brand Ginstberg is introducing Amcor’s two-piece 28 mm tamper-evident closure for glass bottles. The solution is intended to provide product protection, ease of use, and alignment with growing requirements for returnable and reusable packaging.
Sikora has announced a change in the position of chief executive officer. From July 1, 2026, Alaaddin Aydin will assume operational responsibility as CEO, while Dr. Christian Frank will focus on strategic activities and growth initiatives.
BMT has presented a methodology combining stretch blow moulding simulation and physical testing to predict deformation of lightweight PET bottles under altitude-related pressure changes. The study also shows the effect of fill volume on packaging resistance to paneling.
Syensqo and Bucci Composites have signed an agreement covering the use of Double Diaphragm Forming technology and the joint qualification of materials for larger-scale production of automotive parts.
Gabriel-Chemie is celebrating 10 years of Gabriel-Chemie Italia as part of the Group. During this period, the Italian site in Fara Gera d’Adda has strengthened the company’s position in Southern Europe and in the flame retardants segment.
BASF reported the use of Ultramid A3XZC3 ESD in the carrier plate of the MSA M1 breathing apparatus. The material combines flame retardancy, high mechanical strength and reduced surface resistivity, which is important in EX zones.
