The International Motor Show took place from 15 to 24 September in Frankfurt. Well-known industries and politicians took part in the fair. Angela Merkel opened the world’s most followed trade fair for mobility and Matthias Wissmann, president of the German automotive industry (VDA) did not forget to underline that a large proportion of the innovation comes from the suppliers, who account for 75 per cent of the value-added in a car. “Manufacturers and suppliers together characterise the unique innovative strength of our industry”, he said.

Safety, durability and light weight of the materials can be achieved only through high performance thermal treatments. Without forgetting the economic factor.
It would seem impossible to satisfy all these requirements of materials for secure cutting-edge vehicles, compliant with international directives on reducing emissions of pollutants.
