Inteva Products Receives Top Innovation Award for Revolutionary Stitching Process
Inteva Products, LLC, a leading global Tier One automotive supplier of engineered components and systems, received the top prize in the 2018 Innovation Awards presented by the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) at The Hague, Netherlands, on June 13.
Inteva was recognized for its new real-time scanning process for the robotic stitching of automotive interiors. This innovative technology will be used on instrument panels for the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks.
The new process enables “live” scanning and immediate adjustments to the program path of robotic stitching equipment as a component is being stitched. This approach aligns leading-edge advances in the use of lasers in automotive manufacturing with Inteva’s unique robotic stitching technologies. The advancement reduces the average cycle time of a stitched surface by approximately 20-30%.
The 2018 CLEPA Innovation Awards, organized in cooperation with Deloitte, celebrate automotive excellence in the categories of Environment, Safety, Connectivity & Automation and Cooperation. Inteva was recognized in the “Cooperation” category with its customer General Motors.
“We are proud to receive this recognition,” said Inteva Products CEO and President Lon Offenbacher. “The real-time scanning innovation was a true collaborative effort between the talented women and men of Inteva and our customer General Motors, so we are especially honored to be recognized in the Cooperation category.”

Armis Warns Global Elections a Bullseye for Nation-State Cyberattacks16.4.2024 14:00:00 EEST | Press release
Armis, the asset intelligence cybersecurity company, is warning that global elections will be the largest attack vector for nation-state actors looking to cause mass disruption in 2024. Data from Armis’ second annual global cyberwarfare report, The Invisible Front Line: AI-Powered Cyber Threats Illuminate the Dark Side, show organizations and governments worldwide face critical threat levels from sophisticated nation-states and admittedly are severely underprepared to defend against impending cyberwarfare attacks. “In the biggest global election year in history, democracy is the primary target of nation-state threat actors,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder, Armis. “Make no mistake - we are in a cyber arms race against our adversaries and society as we know it is at risk.

New Research Finds 83% of Supply Chains Can’t Respond to Disruptions in 24 Hours16.4.2024 14:00:00 EEST | Press release
Despite being one of the biggest lessons from the pandemic era, a new IDC study* sponsored by Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX:KXS) reveals slow progress in making supply chains more flexible and resilient while also highlighting optimism towards supply chain orchestration tools as a key enabler for the future. According to research, less than one-fifth (17%) of global supply chain leaders say their companies can respond to disruptions within 24 hours. Highlighting their widespread frustration, a staggering two-thirds (67%) of respondents admit they are not “very satisfied” with their response time. The comprehensive survey of 1,800 supply chain decision-makers from around the world exposes the harsh reality that most are struggling to keep their operations agile and adaptable amid an onslaught of disruptions from geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters, and other volatility. While the average crisis response time is a troubling five days, the survey shows performance varies across industries. In
