Our company’s research and development activities aiming the creation of sustainability
One of the biggest challenges of our time is to create technologies that can contribute to a sustainable living and the protection of our environment. Our company’s research and development department has also been continuously working towards this common goal. During this process, we have reached an important milestone: Mr. Norbert Biro and Mr. Daniel Szollosi, colleagues of our Technical Center, presented their research as guest lecturers on the 10th World Sustainability Forum held in Basel, Switzerland.
The main topic of their presentation held in front of an international audience focused on the reduction of diesel engine emissions. The conclusions presented during the presentation were based on their paper ‘Emission Quantification for Sustainable Heavy-Duty Transportation’, which was published in a special issue of MDPI Journal about Control System for Sustainable Urban Mobility, and was largely substantiated on the results of their own engineer PhD research.
Their presentation also focused on the “Well-to-Wheel” CO2 emissions of different propulsion systems, including electric, hydrogen and internal combustion engines. In the light of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), ratified by the European Parliament and entered into force in January 2023, the presentation highlighted the importance of science-based governance in the field of transportation, presenting a new method to support effective decision-making.

10th anniversary of AFP division – 11th and 12th May, 2023
This year we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of IBIDEN Hungary Ltd. AFP division’s establishment, after starting production of FLECS-N impregnated products started in the factory building 4-1 in 2013..
The production of FLECS-F papermaking products started subsequently in 2016 in the newly constructed building 4-2..
Today, a total of 5 production lines have been installed in the AFP buildings and this division now accounts for a significant part of IBIDEN Hungary Ltd’s total production..
In the past 10 years AFP division has produced 15 million kilograms, approximately 35 million products..
These products have been installed in approximately 30 million vehicles in Europe, North-America, Asia and Africa, thus contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment worldwide..
The FLECS-F product is uniquely produced by IBIDEN only in Hungary, so the knowledge and experience related to this product are retained by our colleagues..
We are very grateful to them that through their relentless efforts, the production and sales of AFP products have become one of the main pillars of IBIDEN Hungary Ltd..
Let us congratulate and wish them continuous success in the future!.
IBIDEN Maintenance Contest
The maintenance team of IBIDEN Hungary achieved a good result in the annual maintenance competition of the IBIDEN company group, for which they received an award.
About the competition
The aim of the competition is to contribute to the company’s productivity and success by improving maintenance and to increase competitiveness in the manufacturing market with highly skilled workers. The event also aims to maintain the motivation of employees with outstanding professional skills.
A total of eight teams from several countries, as well as from the electronics and ceramics business participated in the competition, and they presented the improvement they had achieved in their field in one year.
Through the kaizen activity, skilled maintenance engineers can gain new knowledge and the evaluation of the achieved results contributes to increasing motivation.
Kaizen results of the IBIDEN Hungary team
A heating module breakage affecting the lifetime of the DPF Sintering furnace, and a delay in treatment of the failure can result in furnace water break-in due to electrode melting, which results in downtime beyond one hour. The water break-in increases the number of maintenance days to three times the standard, which takes away production opportunities, increases the maintenance costs due to the complete replacement of carbon materials, and has other negative effects, such as a loss of motivation of the maintenance staff, so an urgent preventive action was needed, and the maintenance team took the following steps.
- 1. Preventing water break in has become the motto of the maintenance team, and close cooperation between team members has been established to achieve this.
- 2. By analysing the data, a preventive maintenance methodology has been developed.
- 3. Reaction times were faster, and in the event of an incident, block transmitters were able to issue appropriate instructions sooner, followed by immediate execution.
The success of the method is demonstrated by the long period of time during which water breakage was prevented, which contributed to improved productivity.
Congratulations to our colleagues for a splendid performance.

Thanks to the collaboration between IBIDEN Hungary Kft. and Merkapt-Mekler László Sport Association, we spent a fantastic weekend together!
Our employees together with their family and friends had the chance to take part in a special experience: they could ride in a dragon boat, and with the coordination of the Sport Association’s trainers, they could experience what it’s like to row as a team.
Besides the dragon boat ride, the participants could test their skills in short and entertaining games.
The event was spent in a good mood and we hope to be able to repeat it in the future.
