Mav Cluster partner companies such as Lubrizol and Elix Polymers. On the other hand, Arcesso Dynamics, a technological SME partner of the MAV Cluster that is dedicated to the manufacture of customized polyurethane products , will present a product he has developed together with the German company Covestro.

The product, marketed under the brand Arfinio®, is an innovative material and manufacturing technology that offers unprecedented design possibilities as it combines the advantages of molding for injection, aliphatic chemistry and solid surfaces.

ELCA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The MAV Cluster will participate on October 19 and 20 in the General Assembly of< strong>ELCA (European Lightweight Cluster Alliance), the European network focused on strengthening European leadership in the field of lightweight materials.

During the meeting, the milestones and action plan of the alliance for this year will be established, the common activities and projects to be developed will be determined and the internationalization strategy will be discussed.

ELCA is the promoter of the European project ELCA Internationalization, formed by five European industrial clusters. The ELCA consortium promotes the use of < strong>European products, technologies and services based on lightweight materials for the aerospace, aeronautics, automotive, rail and maritime sectors in order to offer solutions attractive to reduce transport-related CO₂ emissions. The aim is to articulate a common internationalization strategy with establishment of the "Lightweight made in Europe" brand for a better positioning of European capabilities in lightweight materials s.

ELCA is also the promoter of the European project Advanced Materials & Manufacturing United for Lightweight (AMULET), in which the MAV Cluster and twelve other partners from ten European countries participate. AMULET has launched this year a call for SMEs of the light materials sector that will allow them to obtain up to 120,000 euros of financing. AMULET will shortly publish the list of companies selected to participate.
