PRESS Release – TIAMA and TME Engineering Announce Strategic Partnership

TIAMA just announced a partnership with TME Engineering, a renowned innovator in solutions dedicated to the Hot End process. Under the terms of the agreement, TIAMA will distribute a new product developed by TME Engineering, rebranded as a TIAMA product.

The partnership combines TIAMA’s extensive market reach and customer base with TME Engineering’s industry-leading expertise and advanced technological solutions. The rebranded product, the Tiama HOT blank, is designed to measure and automatically regulate the temperature of blank molds and the plungers. It will offer glassmakers an efficient and reliable solution to blank mold temperature issues.

The Tiama HOT blank is fully part of the Tiama HOT systems range. It is made of one camera per section placed in the center of the IS machine between the blank side and the blow side. This universal system is compatible with all IS machine brands and generations.

This collaboration aligns with TIAMA’s strategic goal of providing a complete range of Hot End sensors to enable real-time monitoring and control throughout the glass process.

Michel Carpentier, Director of the Hot End Business Line at TIAMA, said, “We are thrilled to partner with TME Engineering, a company known for its commitment to innovation and quality. This partnership corresponds perfectly with our mission to provide our customers with the most advanced and effective solutions. We believe that the Tiama HOT blank will be a game-changer in the industry.”

Raphaël Malvezin, CEO of TME Engineering, added, “We are excited to collaborate with TIAMA to bring the Tiama HOT blank to market. Tiama’s strong brand and distribution network as well as their first-class technical service will help us reach a wider audience and make a significant impact on the industry.”

The Tiama HOT blank is a crucial component of the Monitoring range, integrating perfectly with the YOUniverse concept. This innovative approach involves six essential areas of expertise collaborating to build intelligent factories, improve process control leading to a better efficiency and glass quality. Traceability, Inspection, Intelligence, Sampling, and Services are all fundamental aspects of the Tiama strategy, and Monitoring plays a key role in bringing the YOUniverse vision to life
