E.E: How do you overcome the new challenges and this more competitive environment?
DAM: DAM Group relies on the sealing and power electronics expertise acquired over more than 35 years to address these new technologies with a head start.
Our know-how in high-speed automation for the traditional automotive industry enables us to offer future scale-up solutions for hydrogen.
The Group was one of the first to learn about the hydrogen sector years ago and went into it prepared and eager to learn more. In its search for new markets and diversification, DAM Group has been able to take risks and reap the rewards, thanks to a great capacity for adaptation and a committed vision in line with the world’s evolutions. Hydrogen and electrification prove that we can produce in a sustainable way, renewing the industry without stripping it of its core skills. DAM Group understands the need to move towards more economical and ecological energies, to make the future of industry greener.
However, DAM Group keeps things ethical, professional, and simple, hence its motto: Simplifying the complex. Even though the company has set out to conquer new markets, it has not forgotten its traditional skills, and trains new employees internally to ensure that know-how is not lost. The company sets itself apart from the competition and trains its teams in a process of continuous improvement, so that they can always invest themselves fully in projects and emerge with greater skills and knowledge of the sector.
E.E: Tell us about research and development in your company.
DAM: Digital technology is an essential aid: the Group’s machines are now equipped with automatic devices and comprehensive, powerful software, such as TestAvenue, which was developed in-house. The Systems Engineering team, which covers automation, electrical engineering, pneumatics, and software, is the largest in the company. This ensures that the Group is always one step ahead when it comes to technology.
Our customers are at the cutting edge of product developments such as fuel cells, batteries, inverters, etc., and ask us to provide robust, cost-effective solutions to test their products.
One of DAM Group’s core values is collective intelligence. The design of special machines is carried out in collaboration with all departments, to guarantee an optimum solution. If R&D engineers come up with more relevant solutions than those considered in the pre-sales phase, then these will be implemented in our solutions. This approach gives meaning to our teams and pushes each employee to find the best solution for the success of the project.
DAM Group employees are chosen above all for their skills and interpersonal competence. The team is diverse, dynamic, complementary, and competent. Our employees work towards a common goal. They are committed and motivated in their projects. They are the foundation on which DAM Group relies to move forward according to the company’s vision and strategy: collective intelligence is nourished by everyone’s experience.
