Instead of the traditional year-end gifts to customers, partners and suppliers, and for the second consecutive year, JESA has decided to sponsor a worthy organization. For 2013 the Jesa employees have chosen to support an integrative nursery “La Coccinelle” in Fribourg.

The ethos of this nursery is to universally welcome children of 2 to 6 years old with various disabilities along with mainstream children. This nursery was founded in 2006 and was the brainchild of Ms Von Zelewsky and Kessler-Steinmann.

The donation from JESA provides funding for hardware, infrastructure and play equipment for all the children.

To celebrate the donation, JESA asked the children to creativity draw the Jesa brand identifier the “robot”. We were delighted to receive fourteen drawing, the results are visible in the Jesa 2012 greeting card which we have sent to all our customers and associates.

JESA warmly thanks our business partners and employees for their excellent collaboration with this year-end gesture.

On November 28, JESA was awarded the 2012-2013 innovation awards of Fribourg. The award was presented at a ceremony organized by the Economic Development Agency of the Canton Fribourg.

JESA was awarded the top prize from more than a dozen other innovative SMEs with Jesa’s innovative assembly process and plastic injection techniques.

This award reinforces once more that JESA is truly an innovative company. The judging panel found that the JESA solution shows that a company can be globally competitive and win new markets through innovation and investment in R & D.

It also shows that innovation must not only be on products, but also on internal processes. This award is a symbolic step on the road to the integration of “innovation and continuous improvement” in the Jesa business and encourages JESA to strive for even more.

This award also recognizes the Jesa strategy “spinning solutions” and our heartfelt values : “Tough challenges require customized solutions” and “quality, innovation and precision define what JESA is all about.”

Finally, this coveted award primarily recognizes the tremendous work carried out internally at Jesa. Although Jesa is a business, JESA is in essence a excellent team of enthusiasts. This award rewards all our employees who, through their commitment and contribution in their daily work, contribute to the success of JESA.

For over 40 years, JESA has been the preferred partner of industry solutions for bearings with or without overmolded plastic around the world.

To meet the strong market demand and the needs of its customers, JESA is delighted to announce the introduction of needle bearings to its line of standard and custom bearing solutions.

Indeed, after repeated requests from the market and after a thorough study of the situation, JESA has taken this strategic decision to create a dedicated team for needle rollers bearings. After several months of research, development and testing conducted by the JESA engineers, needle bearing solutions are now added to the range of JESA solutions. In addition, JESA’s research in terms of new steel alloys in collaboration with Swiss universities have yielded many innovations, an example being exclusive steel with exceptional mechanical properties to optimize your application is now available from JESA.

The automotive industry can be a very demanding market to serve, recently Jesa Switzerland demonstrated its complete design and manufacturing flexibility and responsiveness for an urgent requirement.

The Jesa system process proved itself to be robust, enabling Jesa to produce fast prototypes for customer testing. Using JESA’s 43 years of experience, the customer found out first-hand how innovation, speed and flexible manufacturing techniques can be realized, to the customer benefit. This type of 100% service and innovating solution can be demonstrated by Jesa when the need arises, which in many industries is becoming more prevalent. However, we wish to specify that this process was exceptional, special and unique because of its urgency level. We hope you enjoy reading the case study.

JESA is your partner for developing “spinning solutions” combining the advantages of ball bearings and polymer injection.

Our “spinning solutions” moves the headlights of the most famous German car manufacturers. It’s a perfect combination of a ball bearing with engineered polymers to assure the perfect and smooth control of Xenon headlights in the horizontal axis.

APPLICATION

Precisely and consistently controls the Xenon headlight movement for directing the Xenon beam as the vehicle turns the corner. These powerful lights should not “blind” oncoming vehicles.

SOLUTION

• Unique method of positively fixing the plastic inner molding to the ball bearing
• Optimised bearing internal geometry to provide zero backlash
• Specific grease providing easy linear movement with low friction and long life whilst operating in demanding conditions

CUSTOMER BENEFITS

• Low friction torque needed from the motor
• Accurate axial positioning, no backlash
• Transferring rotation into accurate linear movement
• Combines the hub and the screw using ball bearing and a complex plastic moulding
• Works across a wide temperature range, -50°C to +150°C
• One solution from a single supplier

25 million units produced

“Tough challenges require customized solutions”. That’s why JESA focuses on customizing products according to customer and industry needs.

To better understand what is the added value of JESA when it comes to ball bearings or spinning units, we are pleased to present these four new case studies:

17 to 19 January 2012, Lucerne Trade Fair, Switzerland

With 40 years of experience as a specialist manufacturer of metal-plastic alloys, JESA will be taking part in the main industry event for plastic materials in Switzerland. Swiss Plastics will be held in the wonderful city of Lucerne in January.

Don’t miss this chance for a superb excursion into the world of technology! We hope you will join us and look forward to welcoming you to our stand. We hope you enjoy your visit to SwissPlastics.
