A Big Hit Even at the European Championship
The UEFA European Football Championship is nearing its finals in France, and football fans across the continent are on the edge of their seats when Ronaldo, Bale, Iniesta, Rooney, Griezmann or Müller take a shot at the goal.
During the play out on the field, of course, no one is thinking about seals from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies and how they contribute to the smooth operation of this major sporting event. For instance, what would happen if a team bus were to malfunction on the way to the finals? Freudenberg Simmerrings and cassette seals in the engine, transmission and axles of the team buses ensure that the players reach the stadium stress-free and without a breakdown.
To keep the event “on the ball,” Freudenberg seals are essential to the forklifts that carry the advertising banners on and off the field and the mowers that prepare the lawn before the kickoff. The same is true for many other devices off the playing field. In coffeemakers, O-rings, piston seals and hydromechanical sealing diaphragms are in play so VIPs can savor espresso, cappuccino and the like in boxes or the business club during halftime. Then automatic dishwashers clean the used dishes with the help of Freudenberg encoders and flat seals as well as liquid silicone and multicomponent parts.
And not least of all, the brewers of he stadium’s beer and the makers of its refreshing soft drinks use encapsulated O-rings, clamp seals, diaphragms, hygienic washers and a number of other special products from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies. After all, in the especially sensitive beverage industry, the company combines material expertise and a capacity to innovate, each developed over decades, with the special know-how of a market expert specializing in technical processes.
