The motivations from our customers to work with TANIQ and their experiences about the cooperation are very valuable and give us the insight how we can improve these aspects in future projects. We believe that only through close cooperation and shared goals between the parties involved, the right synergy can be created to make these developments successful.
“Together with TANIQ we are now developing new applications for the dredging industry. Using their special fibre reinforcement technology enables us to offer our customers innovative products with additional functionalities. As technology innovator, IHC Merwede is always looking for the latest technology to stay ahead of competition.”
Hasan H. Bugdayci, Program Manager R&D, IHC Parts & Services.
IHC Merwede focuses on the dredging industry, marine industry and foundation industry. In the dredging industry IHC Merwede has been designing and building dredging systems since early in the nineteenth century. For many of the last decades it has been the largest dredger builder in the world. And still is. IHC Parts & Services is the division of IHC Merwede which is responsible for the supply of all original equipment for new build projects, replacement parts for vessels at work and specialist services necessary for maximum output.
“For us the main objectives of the development with TANIQ are that ContiTech is always looking for alternatives to current serial productions that are promising to achieve a highly engineered process. TANIQ’s technology offers opportunities for FEA-supported solutions which can enhance the performance of the product, improve the production process and can minimise cost and labour. The main target with this technology is the 'online' production of green hoses using special design- and FEA-software which is coupled to a fully automated production process. ContiTech has many years of experience and expertise on hose making, while TANIQ is specialized in optimal fibre reinforcement. Now together we can combine our expertises to develop new products/production processes. One of the advantages of working with TANIQ is that they are eager to work fast and are able to make quick decisions.”
