SABA and OCSmaterials Announce Strategic Collaboration to Accelerate e-Bonding Solutions

SABA and OCSmaterials today announced a strategic collaboration to expand and accelerate their combined e‑Bonding offering, pairing SABA’s high‑performance adhesives and sealants with OCSmaterials’ thermal management portfolio, including Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs), for customers in mobility, battery, and electronics-related applications.

Collaboration

Under the collaboration, SABA will support commercial development of OCSmaterials’ TIMs in Europe and North America, while OCSmaterials will support the growth of SABA’s adhesives and sealants in Asia. The parties intend to leverage their complementary market access, technical know‑how, and application support capabilities to help customers improve thermal performance, reliability, and manufacturability in demanding bonding, sealing, and heat‑dissipation applications.

The combined portfolio targets fast-growing needs in electrification and advanced manufacturing, including battery pack and power electronics assembly, where effective bonding, sealing, and thermal management are essential. By combining SABA’s formulation and application expertise with OCSmaterials’ TIM technology breadth, the partners aim to provide customers with responsive technical support, robust qualification guidance, and a scalable pathway from initial sampling to series production.

SABA: “This collaboration strengthens our e‑Bonding proposition by bringing proven thermal interface materials into our application toolbox. Together with OCSmaterials, we can help customers simplify sourcing and accelerate qualification for battery and electronics assemblies, combining reliable bonding and sealing with the thermal management performance these systems demand,” said Villaume Kal, CEO, SABA adhesives.

OCSmaterials: “Partnering with SABA expands our ability to support customers globally with fast, application-led adoption of our TIM portfolio. By combining SABA’s adhesive and sealant expertise and market reach with our thermal management technology, we aim to deliver practical solutions that improve heat dissipation, durability, and manufacturing efficiency for next-generation electrification programs,” said Sangwon Han, Chair, OCS Group.

The companies will jointly engage with target OEMs and Tier‑1 suppliers and will coordinate application development, product training, and go‑to‑market activities. Customers interested in the joint e‑Bonding offering can contact the representatives below.
