A Day of Technical Innovation on Busbars with Syensqo and CLAYENS

On November 6, teams from Syensqo and CLAYENS met at the CLAYENS Doubs (formerly NP SIMONIN) site for a day of technical discussion dedicated to busbar manufacturing.

A partnership to anticipate tomorrow's technical challenges

With the growth of electric vehicles and modern industrial infrastructure, the high-voltage busbar market is expanding rapidly. This meeting aimed to strengthen the partnership between Syensqo and CLAYENS by exploring market trends and studying the technical implications of advanced materials supplied by Syensqo.

Qu’est-ce qu’un busbar ? 

A busbar is an electrical component used to carry large amounts of current. Often made of copper or aluminum, it serves as a central distribution point in electrical systems such as control panels, transformers, or industrial installations.

Overmolded busbars, meanwhile, are encapsulated in an insulating material (resin or thermoformed plastic), which improves their safety, compactness, and robustness.

Clayens: unique expertise in metal-plastic engineering

Drawing on its expertise in combined metal and plastic solutions, CLAYENS aims to establish itself in this fast-growing market. Some technical limits still need to be overcome, such as metal cutting thickness. However, the company is actively exploring innovative solutions to meet sector needs.

During this day, CLAYENS mobilized its experts, its procurement department and its technical management – Alexandra Teleki, Jeremy Guivarc'h, Olivier Tourneret, Mario Da Mota Pais, Jerome Bellaton and Laurent Maire – to work with Syensqo teams on challenges related to high-voltage busbars. Together, they completed testing of a material still in the laboratory phase, marking the start of a genuine innovation project.

Syensqo: advanced materials for performance

As a strategic partner of CLAYENS, Syensqo supplies materials specifically designed for overmolded busbars. These materials meet demanding requirements for thermal resistance, dimensional stability, and corrosion protection. They play a crucial role in improving busbar compactness and durability, particularly in high-voltage applications such as electric vehicles.

Un avenir prometteur pour l’innovation 

This collaboration between Syensqo and CLAYENS reflects a shared ambition to innovate and deliver technological solutions that meet the needs of a rapidly changing market. Through this synergy, CLAYENS is preparing to tackle tomorrow's challenges in high-performance electrical systems.
