The transition to more environmentally friendly processes and materials promotes sustainability and can lead to significant cost reductions in various industries. Finally, the ability to innovate is a key competitive factor in opening up new markets. These challenges can often not be met alone, but only hand in hand with a strong partner who understands the requirements. And offers the right solutions.

Customised metal mesh solutions for every industry

Located in the heart of Oelde, Germany, Haver & Boecker oHG has stood for outstanding expertise in wire mesh and packaging technology for generations. Both the Wire Weaving and Machinery Division are under the umbrella of this traditional family business, which is characterized by its innovative spirit, engineering know-how and tireless search for tailor-made customer solutions.

An average of 70 looms are used in the fine weaving department. Mass production is also possible.

Haver & Boecker's Wire Weaving Division has established itself as a leading global manufacturer – a testament to the company's expertise and commitment. The brand stands for an impressive variety of product solutions that go far beyond the limits of conventional wire cloth applications. From filters and moulded parts for the various industries to filtration media for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, to innovative architectural mesh – the applications are as diverse as the needs of the customers.

Haver & Boecker uses specially designed fine weaving machines and looms to produce products that often exceed specific requirements in terms of functionality and form.

Vertical integration and processes: A look behind the scenes

Haver & Boecker's exceptional vertical integration enables it to meet customer requirements precisely and efficiently – from the construction of the looms to the processing of the finest wires. Wire mesh of exceptional quality is produced on a production area of more than 30,000 m² in Oelde and other locations in Belgium and Canada. The ability to respond to almost any customer request underlines the flexibility and future security of the company.

Wire mesh is highly flexible, robust and, depending on the application, has excellent filtering properties and EMC compliance.

Wide range of materials

The ability to work with all woven materials, from stainless steel to highly specialised materials such as titanium and hastelloy, enables Haver & Boecker to meet the most demanding customer requirements. Combined with the company's technical expertise, solutions can be developed that are perfectly tailored to the process.

Shaping the future with wire mesh

"The world of tomorrow needs our wire mesh" – this is the conviction and commitment of Haver & Boecker, a manufacturer that contributes to overcoming global challenges with pioneering solutions and products. Take electromobility, for example: flat and round wire mesh is already being used successfully to shield components in modern vehicles, including sensors and infotainment systems, from alternating fields that impair functionality. In addition to its excellent shielding attenuation, the material's flexibility and light weight are advantages.

State-of-the-art machinery ensures precision in the processing of high-quality materials.

The combination of decades of experience, technological innovation and customer proximity makes Haver & Boecker a unique partner for modern industry, whose products and solutions are indispensable today and in the future.

Smart toy manufacturers enhance wireless educational gameplay

The world needs educated children to help solve major challenges. But what does a well-rounded, effective education look like? There is scientific evidence to suggest that the key developmental benefit of play is an important part of a holistic education.

The world needs educated children to help solve major challenges. But what does a well-rounded, effective education look like? There is scientific evidence to suggest that the key developmental benefit of play is an important part of a holistic education.

One study looking at brain scans of participants over the course of two decades, conducted by the Center for Neuroscience and Society at the University of Pennsylvania, demonstrated that cognitive stimulation from parents in early childhood—using tools such as educational toys and children’s books—has a positive effect on brain development later in life.

Child’s play

A child’s play means much more than fun and games alone; it is recognized as a critical element of learning and development from an early age through to young adulthood.

Play helps children reach important developmental milestones related to their physical, social, cognitive and emotional health, along the way providing them with the skills they need to interact positively with others, manage their own emotions and understand the world in which they live.

Engagement in play and recreational activity appropriate to the age of the child is so essential to human development that the UN High Commission for Human Rights recognizes it as the right of every child.

Developing minds

About 90 percent of preschool children’s play in the U.S. involves a toy of some sort, says the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). And there is no more fundamental or invaluable ingredient to play than toys and games, according to researchers from the Center for Early Childhood Education at Eastern Connecticut State University.

From 2010-2019, the researchers conducted the TIMPANI (Toys that Inspire Mindful Play And Nurture Imagination) Toy Study, an empirical investigation of toys for preschool children. The study found that nearly all meaningful play includes toy

How the IoT can help create a more sustainable future

Sustainable manufacturing is essential to preserving the finite natural resources of the planet. While the term has become something of a mantra in recent years, it’s now also forming a central pillar of business and economic activity.

Sustainable manufacturing is essential to preserving the finite natural resources of the planet. While the term has become something of a mantra in recent years, it’s now also forming a central pillar of business and economic activity.

Investing in sustainable wireless tech

The IoT will form a key platform for many sustainable initiatives. And although its implementation will have a significant upfront energy cost, the long-term savings will quickly compensate for this. A Transforma Insights and 6GWorld report, Sustainability in New and Emerging Technologies In 2030, found that IoT technology will generate enough savings to pay back the energy cost of its manufacture and deployment and save around eight times the energy it consumes.

The benefits of the data it gathers will also more than justify the IoT’s environmental footprint. When combined effectively with, for example, Machine Learning (ML) applications, the IoT will gather large amounts of information to help people and organizations better understand their energy costs and make informed environmental decisions, or even automate them using technology such as smart energy distribution.

Managing e-waste the sustainable way

The heart of the IoT is its digital network. This relies on electronics that, since the 1980s, have expanded more rapidly than most other industries, and this growth rate is showing no signs of slowing down. According to analyst Fortune Business Insights, the silicon chip sector alone will expand from $527 billion in 2021 to $1.3 trillion in 2029.

This rapid growth makes managing electronic waste (“e-waste”) one of the most important environmental issues. However, things are moving in the right direction; according to the UN, 20 percent of e-waste is successfully recycled today. The UN has also announced a plan to substantially reduce any waste occurring in the first place through reduction, repair, and recyc
