IMSE’s extremely thin packaging and durability are unprecedented, and enable the features our customers are requesting.
Vehicle Radomes, just one of Zanini’s strengths, is an example area in which light can be used to dynamically emphasize brand identity. OEMs around the globe are seeking IMSE suppliers for their regional production operations.
Our customers are seeking the next evolution of industrial decoration technology—adding electronic functions to create smart surfaces. TactoTek’s IMSE is the clear choice.
Valver’s printing and thermoforming expertise, coupled with TactoTek’s IMSE technology, positions Valver as an attractive supplier in the high growth smart surface market.
With accelerating interest in our IMSE technology across market segments, we are investing in our long-term presence in Japan to support our licensees and help OEMs and brands realize the full range of benefits of IMSE technology, from design innovation and simplifying supply chains, to step-function improvements in sustainability.
TactoTek’s IMSE technology is transformational: it enables design innovation for OEMs, offers meaningful advances in environmental performance, and supports creating advanced manufacturing jobs in Japan.
Polestar's licensing of IMSE technology is a testament to its significant sustainability benefits - with the potential to cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50%, our technology seamlessly integrates with Polestar’s vision of building sustainable solutions while delivering exceptional customer experiences.
By combining our expertise, we can accelerate design and development activities, providing advantages for our customers along the entire value chain
Yanfeng's leading role in the industry is crucial to the rapid transformation of the automotive sector. With our IMSE technology platform, we aim for this partnership to seamlessly merge the visual appeal, tactile experience, and functionality of vehicle interiors.
TactoTek sees that standardization will speed up the industrialization of structural electronics technologies such as Injection Molded Structural Electronics (IMSE).
We are excited to see where this journey takes us, and how we can help TactoTek in serving the IMSE clients in North America.
These partnerships are important building blocks in our mission to take concrete actions to support our clients during the whole lifecycle of our technology and maximizing its circularity. Sustainability and environmental performance are at the core of our business, and efficient recycling of our technology is vital for the future.
By understanding the chemistry and behavior of the materials inside IMSE products, we can correspond to the future demands of IMSE technology. We have cooperated closely with TactoTek during the past years for better and greener solutions in the field of sustainable recycling. We together carry a huge responsibility for the future.
Efficient recycling of our technology is at the core of our sustainability strategy. Kat-Metal has been supporting us a lot during the recent years and we are very happy to have signed the Recycling Ecosystem Partnership Agreement with them.
Environmental aspects are strongly tied into our company value as a whole, and they are present in our day-to-day activities. Our Environmental Management System sets a framework for managing our work contributing to the green transition - not limited to our own footprint, but especially to our handprint. TactoTek and our Licensees can significantly reduce the 2nd and 3rd party greenhouse gas emissions with IMSE.
I was satisfied to see how sustainability-related aspects are part of all lifecycle phases of IMSE products, starting from design all the way to the recycling of the IMSE products as this is one of the key requirements in ISO 14001:2015 standard.
IMSE technology has enormous application potential across several domains, and we look forward to being a key design and manufacturing partner to the interested OEMs and Tier-1s.
TracXon has a crucial role in energizing the ecosystem with their cutting-edge, in-house process development and design support, propelling IMSE technology into new markets. Our partnership ensures a seamless supply of functional films for top-tier brands, revolutionizing next-gen automotive user interfaces.
We can now address a larger array of applications including intelligent lighting and smart human-machine interfaces, but also do it in a sustainable and recycling-friendly manner, thus unlocking multiple benefits to the market.
We can draw on existing experience and our installed equipment to guarantee our mutual IMSE customers a quick entry into the market. Further, the combination of BeLink Solutions’ years of experience coupled with TactoTek’s innovative technology opens a new business area for us.
BeLink Solutions' robust experience in electronics manufacturing, combined with their expertise in printed electronics and design for manufacturing capabilities, ensures rapid adaptation to IMSE technology from the early stages of a product's lifecycle all the way to mass production. This winning combination positions them as a leading force in the industry.
We always seek technology that stands out. IMSE, with its ability to generate design freedom for 3D smart surfaces, and its emphasis on additive manufacturing, is a perfect solution for today’s needs and tomorrow’s challenges.
EVO, with their leading engineering and design expertise, is an ideal partner that can help build refreshing designs for automotive OEMs, and this collaboration strengthens our reach with the German OEMs.
With new illumination concepts, we can use light for decoration, and functional value. Our current ideas for the new generation backlighting can only be achieved with the thin structures that IMSE technology provides.
TactoTek builds a global IMSE ecosystem to enable a broader implementation of this breakthrough technology. With HSL, we are expanding the ecosystem in a very fascinating way.
What TactoTek has achieved with IMSE LightChannels is already resonating with many automotive OEMs. Achieving bright, even illumination while controlling unwanted light travel is often very difficult and can require very complex structures.
IMSE LightChannels is part of our "Let Light Live" strategy. We are bringing our newer platforms that can create programmable interfaces with light features that indicate, inform, and interact, exploring new ways of connecting with the users.
KIC customers are looking for innovative interior solutions. The industry is moving towards differentiating with light. For premium models, the combination of illumination and functionality is increasing. IMSE technology provides the freedom to design innovative, and interactive smart interior surfaces, that are programmable, and customizable. IMSE technology changes the way in which we look at automotive interiors, by digitizing the interior in a car.
IMSE is a path-breaking technology that combines the freedom to design sustainably. Globally accepted as a critical technology in Automotive and Aviation markets, and verified by OEMs in Germany and US, we are delighted to bring this to the Japanese markets.
This is a big step forward for TactoTek into the Japanese automotive segment and especially in the ecosystems around Toyota City.
