                  We visited&amp;nbsp;   Hirschvogel Group   , one of the world&#039;s leading automotive suppliers and an industry leader in cold forging, to see our chemistry at work in serial production.        Components move through several stages there, including broaching, blasting, and chemical treatment. To achieve a reliable wear and corrosion protection every step needs to work seamlessly with the next.        The automotive industry demands a reproducible coating structure, thickness, and visual appearance. No exceptions.        We&#039;re proud to supply Hirschvogel with tailored surface treatment solutions and grateful for the long-standing partnership. Thank you for the open insight and great collaboration.

                   Usage levels rise. Fluid conditions change. A service call gets completed, but later no one clearly remembers what was done.   
  That’s &amp;nbsp;how small deviations turn into bigger problems, step by step. Planning gets harder, costs go up, and processes lose stability.  
   Total Fluid Management   &amp;nbsp;is a web application that gives engineers and management a&amp;nbsp;central view of service activities, consumption, and fluid conditions, making it easier to spot changes early and put them in context.  
  It helps you:  
 
  increase productivity  
  extend fluid service life  
  keep processes stable  
  make data-based decisions  
  track service activities more clearly  
 
  Anyone who wants to run production reliably needs the right information at the right time.  
   Sounds like your world? Let’s connect.

  Recycling must work.    On World Environment Day, it is important to examine where environmental impact is created: within the production process.    In the paint shop, simply replacing virgin material with recycled material is not enough. The line still has to run. Performance must be maintained. Quality must remain consistent.    If recycling does not work in serial production, a good idea quickly becomes a severe process risk.    Last year, we made this change at a major automotive customer, replacing virgin material with recycled material from our  NIKUTEX  product line.    The processes remained stable and we helped the customer save more than 441 metric tons of CO₂e.

                   Oil prices are rising. Is your production resilient enough to handle it?   
  The impact rarely starts in one place. It spreads — through mobility, machine operation, logistics, and day-to-day industrial activity. Eventually it reaches manufacturing, including processes still running on oil-based media.  
  That&#039;s exactly where the conversation about   HAKUFLUID   starts.  
   HAKUFLUID  is water-based and completely oil-free, engineered specifically for demanding machining applications. Less dependency on oil doesn&#039;t mean less reliability or performance. It means building resilience into your operations before the next price spike forces the decision for you.  
   Where does your operation feel oil price pressure first — in procurement costs, supply reliability, or somewhere else?

                                            Tramp oil often affects cleaning processes gradually — shortening bath life, increasing downtime, and making results less predictable. Strongly demulsifying cleaners help separate and remove the oil, supporting greater process stability over time.

                   Tramp oil rarely kills a cleaning process all at once — and that&#039;s exactly what makes it so dangerous.   
  It enters the bath gradually. It originates from metalworking fluids, leaks and residue left on parts.   At first, nothing seems wrong. Then bath life shortens. Downtime creeps up. Cleaning results become harder to predict.  
  The critical question isn&#039;t how much tramp oil gets in. It&#039;s what happens to it once it&#039;s there.  
  The image shows three approaches — strongly demulsifying, partially demulsifying, and emulsifying. With a demulsifying cleaner, the oil separates and rises to the surface where it can be skimmed off, rather than staying suspended in the system and quietly degrading it.  
  In practice, this translates directly into longer bath life, fewer unplanned stoppages, and more consistent cleaning performance.  
  Several  HAKUPUR  products are built around this principle. Strongly demulsifying, compatible with multiple metals, and foam-free even under demanding conditions.

 We will discuss this question in our presentation at the ACE Coating Conference on June 16. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Titled  &quot;Sustainable Process Materials for Effective Pretreatment,&quot;  our presentation will use real-world examples to demonstrate the technical performance and stable, efficient operation of pretreatment processes in everyday industrial use. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Our focus will be on two processes: low-temperature zinc phosphating before cathodic electrocoating (KTL) and thin-film pretreatment before powder and liquid coating. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Additionally, we will examine the requirements that process materials must meet to remain reliable under real production conditions.

                   Yes, the new fleet turns heads.     But at the end of the day, it comes down to who&#039;s driving it.   
  Photos like this tend to draw your eye to the trucks first. That&#039;s fair. That&#039;s what they&#039;re there for: be visible, represent the brand, make an impression.  
  But there&#039;s more to this picture.  
  This isn&#039;t just a fleet shot. There are two people here who show up every day and make sure the operation actually runs. Not just looks good, but runs.  
  That&#039;s what our in-house freight company is built on. Reliability that holds up in the real world. Because we&#039;re not hauling general cargo. We&#039;re hauling chemicals. Loads where experience, discipline, and attention to detail aren&#039;t optional extras, they&#039;re the minimum requirement.  
  The right equipment matters. The right people matter more.

                  What brings people togehter on the field often works just a swell on the workplace.        In rugby, commitment, accountability, and teamwork are essential. That same mindset shapes our everyday work at Kluthe.        That is why our support for Sportclub Neuenheim (SCN) means more to us than sponsorship alone. The club is deeply rooted in Heidelberg and lives by values that matter just as much to us: team spirit, fairness, reliability, and the drive to keep improving together.        One particularly special moment was the presentation of a jersey signed by every player during the derby match. To us, this jersey stands not only for sport, but also for unity, mutual appreciation, and a true sense of togetherness. These are exactly the qualities we look for at Kluthe.        Sounds like your kind of field?

                  Hundreds of conversations. Real ones. Existing customers, new contacts, engineers, decision-makers, all coming to us to brainstorm, review processes, and explore new products. We talked purge solvents, surface treatment, water treatment, HAKUCARE, coolants, parts cleaners, recycling, and everything in between. Four days, non-stop.  
  To our existing customers who came by: you made the week! The conversations, the process deep-dives, the party at the booth. That&#039;s what this is all about!  
  To everyone we met for the first time: you&#039;ve got our attention now.  
  Every contact, every request, every challenge that landed on our plate gets a real answer and follow-up. Fast.  
  The work starts now, and we&#039;re looking forward to it!  
  Last but not least: a huge thank you to the Kluthe team who put in the long hours to make this happen and kept the energy high at the booth all week. You delivered.
