Earlier this year, our Product Management team delivered a series of comprehensive training sessions aimed at enhancing the knowledge and expertise of our global TIFS workforce.    Taking place from May to July, these sessions were tailored to meet varying levels of technical understanding, ensuring everyone could benefit.   Held at our state-of-the-art e-Mobility Innovation Center (eMIC) in Rastatt, Germany, the hands-on activities and in-depth discussions about the product lines brought together employees from South Korea, Japan, India, the U.S., France, and China.   A big thank you to our product experts for leading these sessions!   Read more about the training here: https://lnkd.in/eybhhUjA

Looking back at an incredible summer with our talented interns.   As students head back to school this week, we're reflecting on this year's summer intern program at some of our global locations.    From hands-on learning in lean production, project development and continuous improvement, to collaborating on exciting projects, our interns dove into every opportunity to grow and learn.   A highlight was the Intern Panel event at our corporate office, where our interns had the chance to engage with a group of former interns who are now full-time TI Fluid Systems employees, gaining invaluable insights.   We’re proud to offer a program that empowers the next generation of industry leaders through real-world experience and mentorship. We wish our 2024 interns success in their future careers!

With six core competencies – virtual engineering, design, processing, prototyping, product testing, and vehicle testing – the unique setup allows our engineers to efficiently design, develop, and visualize thermal management systems and components for electrified vehicles, all under one roof. So, what has 2024 looked like at our Rastatt eMIC so far?  • 11 customer visits to our unique collaborative environment • 23 team visits to customer locations • 3 joint developments • 4 RFQs/RFIs received Our team has made excellent progress this year and we’re looking forward to seeing what the rest of 2024 will bring. 

Our global Diversity & Inclusion committee is committed to championing inclusivity across the business. As part of its efforts to do so, the committee recently worked with TIFS’s Women’s Empowerment Network to hold an Ally Workshop.   Feedback from the workshop was overwhelmingly positive. Simon Howell, our UK-based Director of Corporate Reporting, was so inspired by his experience that he was eager to discuss his thoughts on what he learnt.

Since then, we’ve opened three eMICs in Asia-Pacific – Incheon, South Korea, and Nagoya, Japan, in June 2023 and Jiading, China, in October 2023 – and our final eMIC in Auburn Hills, Michigan, in June 2024. This year so far, we have seen great success at our innovation centres across the globe with: • 64 total customer visits to our TIFS eMICs  • 209 total visits to customer locations  • 13 joint product developments  • 20 total RFQs/RFIs We're proud of these milestones and excited for what's next.
