Creation of a Hot End Business Unit at Tiama with a new Director

Tiama started work on hot end sensors nearly two decades ago with the I-Care system launching in 2006. The company subsequently bought the Swedish firm GE develop in 2012 and integrated the GIA (gob image analyzer) in its hot end product range.

With the introduction of the HOT systems at the 2014 Glasstec, a full range of sensors dedicated to the hot end became available.

In order to develop this part of the business, and to reinforce its impact on the market, Tiama decided to restructure and create a Hot End Business Unit at the beginning of 2022 with new Director, Michel Carpentier, coming from the glass field.

Tiama also doubled its dedicated hot end team and will keep developing their skills in this area of expertise to focus even more on customers’ needs and problems solving.

Mr Carpentier, who is also a Tiama board member, has many years of experience as Production manager and Plant manager.

His global vision of the challenges and needs of the customers are a real strength for Tiama as he is able to understand their issues and find the right solutions.

Glass quality has always been a hot end process consequence, that is the reason why we think it is so important to invest all our energy and competences in providing efficient hot end sensors, equipment and software, helping our customers in their daily production life” he said.

The creation of this new business unit is in line with Tiama general strategy.

All the hot end systems are participating in the development of Industry 4.0 and will also provide data to the software developed in the Bottero-Tiama joint venture called GlassFORM.ai launched in March 2022.
