IEE S.A. Wins FEDIL Innovation Award 2024 in the “Product” Category
Let’s Talk 
IEE S.A., a world leader in smart sensing solutions for automotive and other markets, is proud to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious FEDIL Innovation Award 2024 in the “Product” category. The award recognizes IEE’s groundbreaking innovation: the Laminated Busbar Connector for batteries of electric vehicles (EV) or energy storage facilities.
The Laminated Busbar Connector is a compact, lightweight hybrid solution combining printed electronics with traditional electronic assembly elements. This revolutionary product integrates multiple functionalities—such as voltage monitoring, cell balancing, temperature sensing, electrical isolation, and busbar connection—into a single component. The innovation simplifies battery design, increases automation in manufacturing, and reduces production costs, ultimately making electric vehicles more affordable and accessible to a broader audience.
“We are incredibly proud of this achievement and this award is a testament to the dedication, creativity, and teamwork that have driven the development of the Laminated Busbar Connector” said Michael Olk, Business Development Manager at IEE. “Our cross-functional teams in Luxembourg have worked tirelessly to create a product that pushes the boundaries of innovation. We are excited to continue collaborating with the automotive and energy industries on solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future.”
By reducing the need for traditional cabling, the Laminated Busbar Connector saves space within the battery pack, allowing more room for electricity charging cells, which in turn enhances the driving range of electric vehicles. Its customizable design also extends the benefits to energy storage and industrial battery systems, further contributing to a sustainable future.
“We are honored to receive the FEDIL Innovation Award 2024 in the Product category,” said Alain Schumacher, Chief Technology Officer of IEE. “This recognition highlights our commitment to developing cutting-edge solutions that do not only drive technological progress but also create tangible benefits for the environment and society. The Laminated Busbar Connector is just one example of how IEE is innovating to shape the future of electric mobility and energy storage.”
IEE continues to lead the charge in smart sensing technologies, pioneering solutions that support the global energy transition and a sustainable mobility.
We offer a complete range of sensing and heating solutions to improve the safety and durability of your battery safety pack.
