From its foundation, MTU has created a Research and Development Group that projects the mechanical structure of all new products and defines the technical specifications of the sliding rings materials. The integrate production process starts with the preparation of the powders for the sliding rings whose process is entirely carried on inside MTU. R&D total costs around 4% of sales turnover. The R&D Group carries on their activities both independently and in collaboration with the University of Milano and of L’Aquila. MTU operates on three different markets: mechanical seals for automotive application, for household appliances and for industrial centrifugal pumps. n Enter 508 ot surface ignition (HSI) systems have been used in a variety of gas applications for over 30 years. During those 30 years, Saint-Gobain Igniter Products (makers of the original Norton igniter) has developed two igniter families to meet the demanding needs of these markets. Today, Saint-Gobain is a leading worldwide supplier of hot surface igniters for 12, 24, 120, and 208–240 volt control systems for the heating, range, dryer, commercial cooking, 12 volt equipment, and analytical markets. Ongoing partnerships with all control manufacturers ensure that Saint-Gobain igniters are designed to complement state-of-the-art control systems. As the needs of the world¬wide appliance and heating products market become more complex, Saint-Gobain’s R&D facilities located in Northboro, MA, continue to develop hot surface igniters to meet these market needs.
