At Bitron, we consider the Powertrain the car’s hearth. Our passion guides us in developing components that manage the vehicle fluids, mandatory for the correct beat of the car. In this way, we are sure to guarantee the user satisfaction giving our contribution for the environment sustainability.
What we are doing
Our complete portfolio of solenoid valves, actuators, switches and sensor assures us to provide adaptable solutions for all systems.
Looking at the future
The world is changing fast and Bitron is working to be part of this change. We want to give a concrete help to our customers during the transition into the e-mobility era. To achieve our goal, we have managed to optimize weights, materials and power consumption of our components.
Technologies
In Bitron every detail values. For this reason, we have decided to internalize all key core technologies to develop and produce our products. In this way, we are sure to have control of all processes of our components, from the idea to it's realization:
Automatic coil winding
Injection molding department with several molding machines (horizontal and vertical), robots & automation for metal insert overmolding
CAD/CAE systems for design, simulation & digital mock up
Laser welding to join plastic component with robust and waterproof connection
Laboratory testing equipment for product development and validation
