Freudenberg Sealing Technologies to present thermal management technology at the Battery Show Europe

Weinheim, Germany – Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is setting new benchmarks in thermal management for e-mobility. From June 3–5, 2025 at the Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart, the company will present its latest materials developed to provide rapid charging and higher battery capacity. It will also demonstrate the high level of design flexibility these materials offer for their integration into customer-specific production processes.

Across much of Europe, battery cells are still being charged overnight, while so-called “range anxiety” is keeping many electric vehicle drivers from planning long-distance trips. This is about to change. The global automotive industry is rapidly advancing technologies that enable fast and safe battery charging. Progress has been substantial – and Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is playing a key role: Its leading-edge product lines make it easy to install vibration-resistant connectors with high offset tolerances. At the same time, newly developed materials can both electrically insulate and dissipate heat. With these products, the company is solving several fundamental challenges in e-mobility: increased driving ranges, including higher battery capacities, longer battery life, ultra-fast charging, and precise thermal management.

In the highly dynamic electric vehicle market, a key factor is the rapidly advancing battery technology. Leading automakers expect their suppliers to develop and test high-performance materials and products with short delivery times. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has significantly expanded its portfolio of battery components. Specific products such as prismatic battery cell caps, busbar seals and components for pressure regulation or emergency degassing enhance the efficiency and safety of modern battery systems. With its high level of materials expertise in elastomers and plastics, the company can develop precisely tailored solutions to meet the strict requirements of the automotive sector. One example: fluid connectors for thermal management, which help bridge the gap between larger battery capacities and faster charging cycles.

As conventional cooling systems no longer have the capacity to keep up with ultra-fast charging, thermal management of battery cells becomes increasingly important. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies offers a key component for high-performance electric drive systems in the form of its fluid connectors. They accommodate the thermodynamics of different cooling fluids under high load and ensure cooling between the battery cells. These materials, perfectly tailored to their operating environments, also extend the battery life. The modular designs of the drive systems require a wide variety of connectors and sealing elements – all of which Freudenberg Sealing Technologies can provide. With its product lines, the company can respond quickly to individual material and design requirements.

Jürgen Mall, Head of Product Management, Special Sealings Automotive lead center at Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, emphasizes how important it is for the components to interact perfectly with each other in order to control heat development during charging. He says: “In the field of e-mobility, we offer our customers industry-leading design and manufacturing expertise, supported by a global network of production sites. On this basis, we have our sights set on the future and look forward to presenting and advancing our latest developments with industry professionals at the Battery Show Europe.”
