Joining in Car Body Engineering 2024

Sika will soon be exhibiting and presenting at the Joining in Car Body Engineering conference, scheduled for April 16-18 in Bad Nauheim, Germany. We are pleased to extend an invitation for you to join us at this event.

As one of the world’s largest manufacturers of adhesives and sealants, Sika offers a full suite of bonding, damping, sealing, and reinforcing solutions for the automotive market. Sika is a key development partner for both automotive OEMs and suppliers helping make today’s vehicles safer, stronger, lighter, quieter, and greener.

At the Sika booth, you will have the opportunity to meet and interact with our experts. We will be highlighting SikaPower® product portfolio, which includes a full panel of 1C and 2C products for structural joining. Regardless of the customer's requirements concerning structural adhesives, whether it's related to their performance specifications, the type of body-in-white materials, or the assembly concept in the body shop (ranging from normal bake to no bake), Sika has a tailored solution to meet their needs.

Our Sika experts will also be delivering insightful presentations. Denise Storrer (R&D department leader) and Antonio Voci (Product Manager) will be presenting on ‘Bonding solutions for the battery case as an integrated part of the car body structure’. The presentation will highlight challenges of battery case design and process, and the impact on the joining solutions. The different type of adhesives and technologies for room temperature curing will be a key point of discussion. In addition, David Guitton (R&D project leader) will be involved in a joint presentation entitled ‘Elementary adhesive bonding for car body construction – an interdisciplinary collaboration’. The presentation will address the potential of induction pre-curing as an alternative to conventional joining solutions.

We look forward to meeting you in Bad Nauheim!
