Door handle molder extends gas-assist licenses

Global automotive supplier Huf Hülsbeck & Fürst has extended its intellectual property licenses in gas injection. The company, which developed 'passive entry' and 'keyless go' systems for cars, previously held Melea licenses, and when Melea was liquidated Cinpres bought up its remaining licenses.

Huf, which has 5500 employees across Europe, North and South America and Asia, develops and manufactures key systems, lock sets, steering locks and remote control systems.

Maximator and the Cinpres Gas Injection signed a cooperation agreement in Düsseldorf wherein Cinpres granted Maximator the licensing rights for Europe. In the future, the companies noted that Maximator would be able to sublicense all of Cinpres' technology.

Maximator Managing Director Henning Willig said in a release that this deal represents an example of a customer benefiting from Cinpres's partnership Maximator. Huf has Maximator machinery and technology from Maximator and Cinpres.
