F1: Sauber Technologies launches to bring innovation and F1 mentality to business
The start of 2022 saw the birth of Sauber Technologies, a new company devoted to bringing Sauber’s drive for cutting-edge innovation and Formula One mindset to business all over the world. Sauber Technologies sees the incorporation of Sauber Engineering and Sauber Aerodynamics in a bid to strengthen services and the offer of know-how for customers across a wide range of industries.
Sauber Technologies, part of the Sauber Group and based in Hinwil, Switzerland, will be fully focused on third-party business, providing a holistic service for complex engineering problems, from the idea stage to the finished products. The company will do so by drawing on the experience of its dedicated, highly skilled staff and from the know-how generated in 50 years of history in motorsport.
The symbiotic relationship with Sauber Motorsport, its sister company in the Sauber Group, gives Sauber Technologies access to the latest tech employed in Formula One, as well as honing its skills in an environment molded by the drive for performance and a quick, agile and efficient approach geared towards high-quality products.
Sauber Technologies staff, coming from a wide range of backgrounds, bring an eclectic set of skills that, matched with the first-grade equipment available within the company, delivers world-class expertise in fields as varied as aerodynamics, lightweight design and CFK design and calculation. The company’s customer will have access to high-quality mechatronic systems design and production, fluid and thermal simulations and structural analysis, as well as a tried-and-tested approach to additive manufacturing, including prototyping and serial production, courtesy of the biggest additive manufacturing machine park in Switzerland.
These skills and equipment allow Sauber Technologies to offer its services to customers in a range of fields including more traditional markets, such as transportation and motorsport, space and defense and aviation, and novel applications the likes of mechatronics, automation and the energy sector. Sauber Technologies will be able to help companies producing consumer goods, medical devices or those involved in high-tech industries.
