Just In Time For Automechanika Dubai 2018, we want to make a reminder from our previous pots, which may be good to do a quick refresher on. 1. Before you walk the show, walk the map. With a horse-shoe like layout, Automechanika Middle East can be navigated fairly simply. At the same time, along with your path, you are likely to see many distractions, therefore, it’s best to give the exhibitors list, as well as the event program a look before getting started on your visits. Most likely, you will be approaching the show site from the lower right corner according to the map below. That’s where most Taxis pick up and drop off. The other possible entry will be from the upper right corner according to...

Next week, during the dates of September 25-28, Atlanta will be welcoming the global automotive industry for the first NACV (North American Commercial Vehicle) show. The show will take place at the Georgia World Congress Center located in downtown Atlanta. Following a successful stay in Kansas City, Atlanta has been Temel’s second home for close to a decade already. In that same period (we are not claiming direct credit for it) the southeast made a great leap in becoming the new hub for vehicle manufacturers internationally. Proximity to ports and air transport options make Atlanta and it’s surroundings perfect candidates to be a major part of a global supply chain. From its Atlanta location, Temel serves its clients in the Americas and in Europe, offering close to 24hr availability to its clients, together with its Izmir office. Visitors to NACV will most certainly have a great interest in Temel’s range of products as they are specifically focused on the heavy-duty commercial applications popular in North America. Both with its tooling manufacturing capabilities and its production capacity, Temel offers an up to date selection of items for the hardest working engines in the market today. Building on more than 40 years of expertise, today, Temel has become a full-service engineering which can take a project from its inception all the way to the packaged product.

Last year, Temel was one of the sponsors for the Formula SAE Southern Invitational. During that event, Temel was introduced to a great group of students who were involved in various SAE supported activities. One group took interest in what they could learn from Temel’s years of expertise in the high precision production of rubber and metal parts. This specific group of students was from the Kennesaw University AUV Team. AUV stands for an autonomous underwater vehicle. Over the following weeks, Temel worked with Cody Meier, Albert Cheng and Vinh Nguyen from Kennesaw University AUV Team. Hard work from both sides delivered the custom designed seal for the AUV. You may visit their site for details on the current status of their project and the team. The Kennesaw University AUV Team was kind enough to officially thank us on their website. We would like to thank them for their enthusiasm, motivation and their hard work to test the theory in real life applications. Here is the message posted on the KSU AUV team website: Temel Gaskets was kind enough to design O-rings to fit our acrylic tube. They will prevent water from reaching our camera when the machine has submerged. Over the past few months, we have communicated our technical drawings and specifications with their engineering department to manufacture the components. Temel has also been an active member of SAE Atlanta since its revamp back in 2016. Director of Business Development, Tunç Kip of Temel Gaskets has been a board member for the chapter since the revamp. SAE Atlanta recently acquired the Alabama region, further expanding its reach and growing the membership. Please visit the SAE...
