Success in Series<br />
The success story of the POLYTEC GROUP cylinder <strong>head</strong> covers<br />
continues. In September 2006, the VW Group nominated POLY-<br />
TEC as the serial supplier of cylinder <strong>head</strong> covers for the new<br />
common rail generation of engines. POLYTEC, selected because<br />
of its technical excellence and its fl exibility, will supply more than<br />
1.1 million <strong>head</strong> covers for the 1.6 litre and 2.0 litre common rail<br />
engines, generating sales of EUR 19.5 million per year. Th<strong>is</strong> contract<br />
represents the largest single order won in 2006. “Our extensive<br />
know-how, particularly in the integration of highly effective<br />
fi ne oil separators and our low production costs were signifi cant<br />
<strong>is</strong>sues for VW”, says Reinhard Urmann, Member of the Management<br />
Board of POLYTEC GROUP, who <strong>is</strong> responsible for the Automotive<br />
Systems Div<strong>is</strong>ion.<br />
