Woodcliff Lake, N.J. — More than 3,000 drivers rallied together on October 21 as part of the latest iteration of MINI Together, a one-day event by MINI USA that encourages owners across the United States to motor for a cause. MINI owners gathered at their local dealerships to kick off an early morning, app-based road trip followed by an evening virtual event connecting this year’s theme of showing “Big Love” for the planet with interactive activities including seed planting and more.
Also during the evening festivities, the starting location for the 2024 MINI TAKES THE STATES owner rally was revealed to be Albuquerque, New Mexico. A big change from the East Coast-centric 2022 MINI TAKES THE STATES route, this kickoff from the southwestern United States gives owners a sneak peek at the potential route that can be expected next summer.
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA — ARaymond, a global manufacturer of fastening and assembly systems for theautomotive, energy, agriculture, healthcare, and construction markets, was inducted into the 2023 Indiana Manufacturers Association's (IMA) Hall of Fame. The event was held on October 18, 2023, in Indianapolis, at the Biltwell Event Center.
ARaymond was chosen from a select group of Indiana manufacturers for its positive achievements and contributions to the manufacturing industry, as well as an ongoing commitment to its employees and the area community. ARaymond recently announced a $12 million commitment to improvements at its facility in Logansport, Indiana.
DETROIT, MI ㅡ ARaymond, a worldwide leader in fastening and assembly systems, is proud to announce that it earned two major honors at the 2023 Seraph Operational Excellence Awards — with its facilities bringing home awards for Operations Excellence and Human Resources Excellence at the June 15th ceremony in Detroit.
ARaymond’s fluid handling facility, Rayconnect, in Rochester Hills, Michigan, took home the Human Resources Excellence Award, and ARaymond Manufacturing Center NA, Inc. facility for assembly and fastening in Rochester Hills received the Operations Excellence honor.
Seraph is a global enterprise supply chain, operations, and manufacturing consultancy with a prominent presence in the automotive sector, and these prestigious awards recognize top automotive manufacturing facilities in North America that have demonstrated outstanding performance and innovation across five categories.
ARaymond, a global leader in automotive fastening and assembly systems, has added temperature sensors to its thermal management offerings for electric and hybrid vehicles.
With over 155 years of industrial know-how and 30-plus years of automotive fluid handling expertise, ARaymond’s focus is now to purposefully contribute to the electric vehicle revolution. This means developing products and solutions that make assembly more productive, thermal management more efficient, and lifecycle more sustainable.
EV and Hybrid thermal management systems are increasingly demanding in terms of performance, space, efficiency, and safety. These entail accurate temperature control of the electric powertrain requiring more sensors in the cooling system. Most temperature sensors on the market have a metallic body making them bulky and heavy. As proprietary owners of their in-house manufacturing processes, ARaymond immediately saw an opportunity to leverage its plastic injection legacy to produce a notably lighter plastic-enclosed temperature sensor, fittingly responsive, for thermal application.
