American original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has given Feintool a multi-year contract. The six-year deal is for the supply of stators and rotors for e-cars' primary drives, with a lifetime volume estimated to be in the three-digit million euro range.These components will be produced using the ground-breaking and patented Glulock MD bonding technique for the first time in a high volume setting. The achievement of this important contract highlights the exceptional performance of Feintool's distinctive Glulock MD technology.

The next generation of electric car drives will rely heavily on this customer-specific bonding procedure with enhanced mechanical and electromagnetic qualities. Nearly full-surface bonding is accomplished by using many carefully positioned adhesive dots on the sheet metal, effectively satisfying the necessary tightness requirements. Direct motor cooling improves the e-machine's efficiency as a result. Additionally, the yoke and tooth components' bonding ensures maximum stability.

Starting in the second semester of 2026, one of the facilities in the Stamping business unit will create the drive components. The motors inside the more than 800,000 rotor-stator sets used to make electric vehicles in Europe.

Torsten Greiner, CEO Feintool, is delighted: "This contract with a renowned OEM strengthens our company as a leading manufacturer of rotors and stators for electrically powered passenger cars. The fact that our patented Glulock MD adhesive bonding technology is being used shows that our technologies are mature and are gaining traction in the electric mobility market."
