Innovation and new technologies in focus on Gränges 9th Technical Seminar in Nanjing

"Gränges has been leading the development of new, innovative rolled products for heat exchangers since we started our operations in China 20 years ago. We offer the most technically advanced solutions and work closely with our customers in order to improve their processes and technologies", said Gränges CEO Johan Menckel at his opening speech in Nanjing.

"When looking at the next coming years, challenges with emissions, new powertrain solutions, and more digital content are factors that will support demand for advanced heat exchanger materials. We are committed to continue to invest and grow our business in the Asian region in the coming years", says Johan Menckel.

The seminar will cover topics such as challenges with emissions, innovative technologies for brazing, development trends for aluminium heat exchangers, design and future solutions. In preparation for the seminar, Gränges has released a white paper on the passenger car condenser industry which adds to the white paper released two years ago on passenger car radiators.
