From October 27 to 29, Hilite International joined the automotive supplier community at IZB 2026 in Wolfsburg. The three days provided a valuable opportunity to connect with customers and industry partners, exchange ideas and discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of mobility.  Under the theme “Powering Customer Driven Innovation – Speed. Quality. Partnership.”, IZB 2026 highlighted the importance of customer-focused development and collaboration across the automotive supply chain.

Building on decades of cooperation with the Volkswagen Group while serving customers across the global automotive industry, Hilite continues to develop technologies that respond to evolving customer requirements and market needs.

At our booth in Hall 4, visitors had the opportunity to explore Hilite’s solutions for Thermal Management, Powertrain and H₂ applications and learn more about the technologies behind our product portfolio. Physical exhibits and interactive digital presentations provided insights into our products, their applications and benefits.

One kit. Multiple valve solutions.
One of the highlights of our presence was our Modular Valve Kit for thermal management applications. The scalable platform combines modular hardware and software with proven valve technologies. Its flexible concept enables solutions to be adapted to specific application requirements while helping to shorten development time and reduce engineering risk. Under the guiding principle “Ready. Scalable. Customizable.”, the Modular Valve Kit demonstrates how customer requirements can be transformed into tailored valve solutions through a modular approach.

Great conversations and valuable perspectives
But IZB 2026 was about much more than showcasing technology. It provided an opportunity to strengthen our long-standing relationship with the Volkswagen Group and exchange perspectives on market developments, technical challenges and future mobility needs.

These discussions reinforced the value of close collaboration in developing solutions that meet changing customer requirements.  

A big thank you to everyone who visited our booth, shared ideas with us and took the time to connect with our team in Wolfsburg.
