2020 IMA Awards of Excellence Showcase |
Established in 1962, IMA's Awards of Excellence program is an annual program open to all companies demonstrating outstanding examples of magnesium's use in the categories of Automotive Cast Product/Process, Commercial Cast Product/Process, Process, Wrought Product, and Environmental Responsibility. Following are the 2020 winners: AUTOMOTIVE CAST
The Automotive Cast Product or Process category recognizes unique, novel, and creative design, development, or application of magnesium in the automotive industry. The design, engineering or application of entries in this category must demonstrate a significant advance over current practice. Congratulations to Meridian Lightweight Technologies and GM for their submission, Upper Beltline Reinforcement. COMMERCIAL CAST
The Commercial (non-automotive) Cast Product or Process category recognizes unique, novel, and creative design, development, or application of magnesium. The design, engineering or application of entries in this category must demonstrate a significant advance over current practice. Congratulations to ANDREAS STIHL AG & Co. KG and STIHL Magnesium Druckguss for their submission, Magnesium Piston for Two-stroke Engine. PROCESS
The Process category recognizes innovation in manufacturing or processing technology leading to higher quality and/or reduced costs. Congratulations to General Motors for its submission, Forged and Flow-formed Magnesium Road Wheel. WROUGHT
The Wrought Product category recognizes unique, novel, and creative design, development, or application of magnesium. The design, engineering or application of entries in this category must demonstrate a significant advance over current practice. Congratulations to Syntellix AG for its submission, Development of Implants Made of Magnesium Alloy MAGNEZIX®. ENVIRONMENTAL
The Environmental Responibility award recognize companies that are playing an active role in reducing the magnesium industry's carbon footprint and that exemplify the industry's commitment to environmental responsibility. The award is presented to companies that demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility. The merit of entries is highly dependent upon carbon dioxide equivalent reductions and also based on innovation, technology, sustainability, synergies and economics. Congratulations to Almamet GmbH for its submission, Mechanical Recycling of Magnesium Alloy Turnings. |
