After joining the FVA research association of drive technology in the middle of this year, we are proud to announce that flucon is now also a member of “Deutsche Gesellschaft für nachhaltige Energieträger, Mobilität und Kohlenstoffkreisläufe e.V.” (DGMK).
Today the time has finally come: our company has been accepted as a member of the Research Association for Drive Technology – or FVA for short. As a developer, manufacturer and also user of fluid measurement technology, we continuously move between different research focuses. Drive technology in particular has been and remains an essential discipline of our work. One of its central challenges, the characterization of suitable lubricants in a wide variety of drive systems, has given our team the literal drive to innovate for many years.
On July 5 and 6, Bearing World 2022 took place in beautiful Würzburg. Every year, experts from the fields of rolling and plain bearing technology as well as lubricant development come together at the international congress to exchange information on current focal points, innovations and optimization concepts.
This year, Josephine Klingebiel was one of our speakers in Würzburg, reporting on the latest findings from experiments with targeted current damage and bearing shell surface investigations.
Already in spring 2022 a solar plant has been installed at flucon, which could now finally be put into operation.
The southern roofs of our new company headquarters were almost completely covered with PV modules, giving us an output of 100 kWp. The configuration was supplemented by an in-house storage system, which is intended to cover the nightly demand, compensate for yield dips and thus ensure as complete self-sufficiency as possible.
In April, another highly qualified newcomer joins the flucon team: Jonas Boppert takes over as Management Assistant.
In close cooperation with Johanna and Simon Hausner, Mr. Boppert will help to keep flucon’s service quality high despite growth, to increase innovation and to position our company for the future with suitable methods and strategies.
