Among the most innovative features on a new car is the keyless antenna, which emits a radio frequency signal to identify the owner’s key and open the car. Sumida Components & Modules GmbH makes coils for these antennas, as well as for anti-lock braking systems, actuators, transmissions, suspensions and engine immobilizers. The company also makes rotors for position sensors, components for infotainment systems and xenon modules.
Sumida workers assemble these products at factories throughout Asia and Europe, and in Mexico. The company’s main European plant is in
Obernzell, Germany, where assemblers use DELO Dualbond UV-cure adhesive to bond litz wire within high-frequency power circuits and other electronic components.
