Bauma 2022 draws closer

World’s leading trade fair Bauma takes place in Munich 24 - 30 October. With the key themes of digitalization and sustainability Bauma provides valuable insights into promising technologies.

Fortaco Technology - active in green environmental transformation

Our Technology team of professionals is developing solutions to reduce global warming. We are working with research and concept development to address the areas of fossil-free steel, light-weight structures, circular economy, and E-mobility. We have a research study ongoing on fossil-free steel to understand how new material can be used on customers’ applications. We are a member of FOSSA-research project. A new light-weight steel structure design is undergoing a field test with a key customer. The usage of high-strength steel is part of customer's new electrified fleet approach improving the fuel economy. The SmartSteel project is aiming at providing real-life information about the residual lifetime of steel components and enables many circular economy actions like refurbishment and re-manufacturing. E-mobility technologies like battery power pack are in an advanced study phase. We are investigating an offering Fortaco could provide in the future.
