METEF INNOVATION AWARD 2022

The OMR Group, on the occasion of the METEF fair in Bologna, which took place from 9 to 11 June, received the "Innovation Award" in the Automotive Application category.

The prize was awarded to the FMB Srl foundry and concerns the development and construction process of aluminum alloy castings cast in LPDC (Low pressure) with thicknesses of 2.6 mm, with inorganic cores, boxed structures, which made it possible to create car frames with weight reduction, with an increase in torsional rigidity and to achieve the reduction of the components to be welded and the increase of the energy absorption capacity during crash tests.

On the occasion of the event, the Light Alloy Castings Foundry Convention was also held, which saw Enio Gritti among the speakers in the panel entitled “2016-2025: ten years of research and manufacturing for the structural castings of the future”.
