A warm, sunny day in Guildford, UK was the ideal opportunity for Impression Technologies to bring together members of the HFQ® Partner Network, a group of likeminded businesses from the global light-weighting ecosystem world who believe that HFQ® (Hot Form Quench) Technology plays a key role in the future of sustainable lightweight aluminium structures.
The group, which Impression Technologies founded in 2019 and is a proud member of, held a networking event at the Guildford Harbour Hotel, where short insightful presentations and discussion panels were the orders of the day. With around 40 attendees present, delegates travelled from around the world to be there, with representatives from Novelis (Canada), UACJ (Japan), Gränges (Sweden), Ebner (Austria), fischer group (Germany), Benteler (Germany), FEV (Germany), Atlas Copco (UK), Fagor Arrasate (Spain) and many more, including those who couldn’t be there personally, but joined the event online from Germany, US, China and Mexico to deliver presentations and offer their thoughts on the industry.
