Setting the course for a successful future –Annual Partner Meeting 2024

Together we look back on the Annual Partner Meeting 2024 at the Aachen Football Stadium “Tivoli. On June 12th and 13th, the AZL network came together to shape future topics for the season and to review the past year.

Annual Partner Meeting 2024

The event was filled with knowledge, exchange and networking opportunities. At the speed dating sessions AZL partner companies had the opportunity to share information about their latest news, projects and potential collaboration initiatives. In addition, the participants were also provided with insights from industry experts:

  • “Hydrogen Tank Systems – Refuelling Simulation for Optimized System Design”
    Dr. Daniel Schneider | NPROXX GmbH
  • “Thermoplastic Tapes in Automotive Applications”
    Michael Johann | Porsche Engineering Services GmbH
  • “Forty years of rotor sleeves and other innovations for electromobility from Schunk”
    Fabian Köster | Schunk GmbH

Building on the positive feedback from last year’s small exhibition area, we once again offered this platform to
participating companies. This year’s exhibitors featured Cevotec, Trinseo, Conbility and A+ Composites.

Special thanks to all the speakers and partner companies who joined and shared their valuable input with us
and who made once again this event a unique experience.
