Apprenticeship start 2024

Welcome to KAYSER!

The KAYSER Group is very happy to welcome a total of 26 new apprentices this year. The new KAYSER-Talents started on August 1, 2024, at the plants in Düren, Bielefeld, Glauchau and Einbeck in seven different apprenticeships and three dual study programs.

As a powerful symbol of growth, development and harvest, the apprentices in Einbeck planted an apple tree on the plant area in Einbeck together with CFO Jörg W. Meyer, Global Director HR Carlos Salgado, Head of Vocational Training Denise Bochmann, and Works Council member Andrea Stahlmann.

In order to make the start with us as good as possible, our Welcome Days took place in the first few days. The apprentices got to know each other, met their training mentors, and were introduced to the company itself.

We are very happy that we were once again able to recruit many talented people for an apprenticeship or dual study program at the KAYSER Group. We would like to wish our new colleagues a successful start!

Science Based Target approved

27.05.2024

We are proud to announce that our Science Based Target is approved!

At the KAYSER Automotive Group, we consider responsible and sustainable action to be a basic principle of our corporate success. We are therefore pleased to announce that a so-called Science Based Target (SBT), an emissions reduction target, has been confirmed for the KAYSER Automotive Group by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), which we aim to achieve by 2032. This target is a further step towards achieving CO2 neutrality at KAYSER Automotive Group by 2038. The official scientific wording for our target set for the near future is:
“Kayser Automotive Group commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50.4% by 2032 from a 2021 base year. Kayser Automotive Group also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions covering purchased goods and services and capital goods 30.0% within the same timeframe.”

Explanation of the terms:
GHG emissions (Green House Gas emissions) are the emissions that are partly responsible for the greenhouse effect. The scopes describe the areas of relevance into which the emissions are divided. Scope 1 emissions result from emission sources within the company, such as the company’s own power plants or vehicle fleets. Scope 2 emissions include emissions from the generation of sourced energy, e.g. electricity. Scope 3 emissions are all other indirect emissions that result from the company’s activities but are caused by sources that are not under the direct control of the company. These include, for example, emissions resulting from the extraction and production of raw materials and materials used or from the use of products and services sold.

We are looking forward to an exciting implementation period and would like to thank the Science-Based Targets Initiative.

Girls' and Boys' Day at KAYSER Automotive

So Much to Discover

This April, we once again hosted a Girls’ and Boys’ Day at KAYSER Automotive in Einbeck and explored the automotive world together with 31 young people.

The day started with a funny game to get to know each other, followed by a presentation of who we are and what we do. Before leaving for the plant tour, which provided a variety of insights into our manufacturing processes and products, there was of course a short safety briefing.

This event is always something special for us at KAYSER. We experience so much curiosity, amazement and interest at those Events and we are also impressed by the many clever and important questions we hear. We enjoy involving these young people in our day-to-day tasks and processes and we are curious to see how they will shape and design the world of tomorrow.

It was a great day!

KAYSER purge lines

KAYSER purge lines

Emission control for a clean future

Right now, everyone is talking about the mobility transition and the associated challenges with developing and manufacturing products for New Energy Vehicles (NEVs). Using our momentum and expertise, KAYSER is also working persistently with customers and partners on solutions and ideas to support this global shift of many mobility applications.

The diversity of the many applications and markets makes the changeover to emission-free drive systems a task which, in global terms, will probably only be overcome gradually over the next two decades. Until then, smart solutions and systems based on the known drive forms with combustion engines are still required in parallel with these new technologies. Around the world, ever more stringent emission requirements are being applied to further reduce environmental pollution in the meantime. These requirements demand the integration of technically high-quality and specific components and systems.

For decades, KAYSER has been a highly competent development partner and one of the leading manufacturers of fuel system components and modules. Amog other things, evaporative emissions in the tank system must be limited and regulated as part of the various legislation, among other things, in order to keep the impact on the environment as low as possible. The KAYSER purge lines are another part of the puzzle: we have been supplying these to customers far and near and in large quantities for many years.

In tank ventilation systems, these lines have the important task of transporting the fuel vapours from the tank to the activated carbon casing and then to the feed-in point on the combustion engine.

Our extensive in-house development and production capabilities enable us to respond to the most varied of system and customer requirements by coming up with a corresponding design, material selection and assembly structure.

Our modern, high-quality production methods allow us to coordinate and adapt the design of the assembly, routing and fittings with specifically compatible components to suit the system requirements and customer specifications.

Depending on the system requirement, the plastic lines can be designed with segments made of smooth tube and/or corrugated tube, as a single-layer or multi-layer tube, and supplemented with joining elements or components for pressure regulation or recording.

In addition, many further necessary system components, such as jet pumps and fluid control valves, can be integrated directly from the KAYSER range.

KAYSER FTIV – Emission control for a clean future

KAYSER FTIV – Emission control for a clean future

In vehicles with petrol engines, fuel vapours are produced due to the tendency of the fuel to permanently outgas during vehicle operation or storage in the tank.  Those vapours must be prevented from escaping into the atmosphere to protect the environment and comply with emission regulations. In a classic vehicle with a combustion engine, they are stored, in a KAYSER activated  carbon canister and successively fed to the engine depending on the load point, where they are largely rendered harmless by post-combustion.

Since the molecules of petrol are very small and therefore volatile, the fuel vapours must be discharged regularly in order to prevent the climate-damaging vapours from uncontrolled escaping out of the tank system.  Due to the lack of combustion in all electric driving mode, vapours can’t be processed. As a result, the fuel vapours must be stored in the fuel tank until they are next passed into the combustion engine. This storage leads to an increase in pressure in the tank, which places increased demands on the entire tank system and the emission control and must therefore be regulated.

This is where the KAYSER FTIV comes in. Firstly, it reliably shuts off the tank and thus prevents fuel vapours from escaping into the environment and regulates the internal tank pressure within the design parameters of the tank system in order to protect its components. Secondly, by actively reducing the overpressure and transferring the fuel vapours to the KAYSER activated carbon canister, it allows the preparation for the fuelling process.

In this way, with the help of the KAYSER FTIV, the emission regulations for hybrid vehicles and combustion engines with petrol engines that are permitted globally in the respective markets can be complied with and vehicle emissions can be reduced to protect the environment.

Wearer trials with an exoskeleton

Wearer trials with an exoskeleton

Relief for our employees

Although advancing automation is making more and more heavy physical tasks easier, there are still work processes that require manual handling of loads.

In our “Poser” logistics center, countless small load carriers (KLTs) are assembled daily for transport to customers.

Depending on the situation, several hundred KLTs can accumulate here every day, which have to be assembled and packed from our two-story rack warehouse.

In order to make our employees’ daily work easier and to reduce the strain on the musculoskeletal system, we have been conducting wearer trials with so-called exoskeletons for several weeks. We obtain these from our local supplier Ottobock.

Here, the load is taken from the employee’s shoulder, as with a backpack, and redirected to the thighs with the help of the exoskeleton’s support structure. The energy store absorbs force when bending and releases it again when lifting. This results in a significant relief of the lower back of up to 25 kilograms. The heart of the system is the purely mechanical control at hip level.

This can distinguish between bending and walking and switches off automatically when walking, thus ensuring full freedom of movement. The support force can be infinitely adjusted on the rotary knob to suit the load of different work steps.

Due to the consistently positive feedback from the test persons, it has already been decided to procure the exoskeletons after the end of the test period and to use them permanently.

Furthermore, tests are underway regarding the use of the exoskeleton in other Kayser areas.
