The BOYD group, of which BOYD Nivelles (ex-GRANDO) has been a part for three years, is a global group ($1.5 B, 45 sites worldwide, 8,500 employees including 700 engineers, > 300 patents) specializing in the development of solutions for thermal management and in engineering materials. The group is very active in the field of aeronautics and aerospace, but also in the medical, e-mobility, semiconductors and electronics, defense and the technical industry in general.
In terms of thermal management, the group offers numerous solutions for cooling by air or conduction (vacuum brazed heat sinks or graphite encapsulated heat diffusers), by liquids (liquid cold plate, high temperature heat exchangers), by two-phase cooling systems (thermally integrated housings and chassis, heat pipe assemblies, two-phase cooling systems, integrated cooling circuits). In the field of engineering materials, BOYD offers insulation and shielding solutions (noise, vibration, electrical insulation, shock protection, EMI/RFI shielding), sealing materials (all types of gaskets or profiles for airtightness, light, vapors, for high-temperature applications), bonding solutions (all-purpose adhesives, transparent or high temperature), solutions for displays of Human-Machine interfaces (films improving the display, branded nameplates, etc.). The group has many design and development centers that will be able to provide optimized solutions that meet the most specific demands in A&D. BOYD Nivelles specializes in the custom transformation of engineering materials and, in particular, cellular materials, rubbers, plastics, composites and felts, all shapes, all dimensions. As such, BOYD Nivelles is the European center for the transformation of SOLIMIDE, a polyimide foam produced by the BOYD group, which is a unique material developed by NASA for the Apollo program. This material is widely used in aeronautics and aerospace.
