- Rework and repair: debondable adhesive solutionbetween display assembly and housing – for rapid corrections in production and repairs throughout product life cycle
- Precise automation: adhesive bonds for a stable, accurate, and efficient display production process
- Strong partnership: tesa's expertise in adhesive processes, materials and automation combines with AUMOVIO's engineering and manufacturing capabilities
NORDERSTEDT and BABENHAUSEN, Germany, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- tesa, an international manufacturer of innovative adhesive tapes and self-adhesive product solutions, and technology company AUMOVIO, a spin-off of Continental's Automotive business unit, will work more closely together going forward. Together, the partners are introducing a new solution for the mechanical integration of automotive displays.
In automotive display manufacturing, adhesive solutions are the primary technology used to meet growing demand for sleek and ultra-thin frames. In cooperation with AUMOVIO, tesa is now taking the next step. The new solution combines state-of-the-art bonding technology with optimized material usage and pioneering concepts – enabling a controlled, detachable adhesive bond that simplifies corrections during production and repairs throughout the entire product life cycle.
Precision meets durable, selectively detachable adhesive bonding
The new process uses an adhesive tape applied robotically. The bond is instantly load-bearing and can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. At the same time, it can be detached as required, allowing display assemblies to be selectively replaced or reworked during production or service – without having to replace the entire display module.
"This partnership demonstrates how innovative materials technology is advancing the mobility of tomorrow. Together with AUMOVIO, we offer automated adhesive bonds that not only provide long-term durability but can also be deliberately debonded – enabling efficient production, longer product life cycles, and circular product concepts. This helps our customers translate their sustainability goals into tangible product solutions," says David Caro, Head of Automotive at tesa.
Pavel Prouza, Head of the User Experience business area (UX) of AUMOVIO, explains, "The combination of highly precise, automated application and targeted detachability adds an important element to our manufacturing and quality processes. It strengthens the robustness of our production, reduces material waste, and promotes efficient use of valuable components. For the end customer, this could even mean that future repairs may require replacing only the affected individual components in a cost-effective way."
More sustainable display solution: securely bonded but still detachable
The new system is a significant step toward the future, combining the proven advantages of viscoelastic adhesive bonds with properties that support circularity. The bond requires no curing time and reliably compensates for material expansion across the full temperature range typically encountered in automotive environments. Thanks to its fully automated application, it can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. With a tape width of only 2 mm, it enables exceptionally narrow display bezels similar to those seen in smartphones.
At the same time, the bond can be detached as required. Display assemblies can be selectively replaced or reworked during production or service without replacing the entire display module.
tesa and AUMOVIO use adhesive tapes featuring Debonding on Demand technology, which allows the bond to be selectively detached with little effort.
This facilitates the replacement of individual display units during the product's life cycle as well as recycling at the end of the vehicle's service life. AUMOVIO is already in discussions with automotive manufacturers on the implementation of recycling and repair programs for selected components. The solution supports the circular economy, making a tangible contribution to AUMOVIO's sustainability strategy by creating long-term economic, social, and environmental value through innovative mobility solutions.
With the official launch of the partnership, tesa and AUMOVIO are now preparing integration of this new solution into volume production for the second quarter of 2026.

Technology Alliance Targets Indonesia's Growing AI Inference Market, with an Initial Focus on Physical AI, Public Safety, Surveillance, and Industrial AI Applications
EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. and JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blaize Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BZAI, Nasdaq: BZAIW) ("Blaize," the "Company," "we," "our," or "us"), a global leader in programmable, energy efficient AI computing, and PT Datacomm Diangraha ("Datacomm"), one of Indonesia's leading IT service providers and cloud infrastructure specialists, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing a technology alliance to explore the potential of AI inference solutions across Indonesia.
The MOU was signed during a ceremony at Gitex Asia 2026 in Singapore, marking a meaningful step in both companies' shared commitment to advancing practical AI capabilities across the Indonesian market.
Indonesia: A Strategic AI Market
Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing AI markets in Asia Pacific, with global hyperscalers, sovereign infrastructure programs, and enterprise technology providers all accelerating their presence in the country. According to the Empowering Indonesia Report 2025 by Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and research firm Twimbit, sovereign AI could contribute up to USD $140 billion to Indonesia's GDP by 2030, driving annual economic growth of up to 6.8%. Indonesia's AI sector is expanding at a 31% CAGR, the fastest rate in Southeast Asia (Marketing-Interactive, 2026). Blaize and Datacomm are positioning this technology alliance to serve that growing demand, with an initial focus on physical AI, public safety, surveillance, industrial AI, and logistics.
Areas of Exploration
Under the MOU, Blaize and Datacomm intend to explore the following areas of cooperation:
- AI Inference as a Service on DCloud: Exploring integration of Blaize's Hybrid AI platform with Datacomm's DCloud public cloud platform and datacenter infrastructure to enable scalable inference services for enterprise customers across Indonesia.
- Physical AI, Public Safety, Surveillance, and Logistics: Exploring AI inference use cases spanning physical security, video analytics, smart surveillance, and logistics optimization across Indonesia's enterprise and public sector.
- Industrial AI: Jointly exploring AI inference applications for industrial automation, including computer vision and sensor-driven intelligence for Indonesia's industrial sector.
"Asia Pacific is at an inflection point for AI inference, and Indonesia stands out as one of the region's most significant contributors to that growth," said Dinakar Munagala, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Blaize. "Datacomm brings exactly the trusted, deeply embedded infrastructure presence and enterprise relationships this market requires. Together, we are exploring how Blaize's programmable, energy-efficient AI platform can unlock real-world value across public safety, smart infrastructure, physical AI, and logistics throughout Indonesia. This alliance is a strong foundation, and we intend to build on it."
"At Datacomm, we have spent over three decades earning the trust of Indonesia's enterprises, government institutions, and critical infrastructure operators," said Tan Wie Tjin, President Director and Founder of PT Datacomm Diangraha. "Indonesia is on the cusp of a significant AI transformation, and the demand for intelligent, scalable, and secure inference solutions is accelerating across every sector we serve. This alliance with Blaize is a natural and exciting step in our journey toward the AI era. The combination of Datacomm's cloud and datacenter infrastructure with Blaize's world-class AI inference platform positions us uniquely to serve this demand. I look forward to exploring the possibilities this technology alliance will unlock for our customers and for Indonesia's digital future."
The MOU is non-binding and outlines a cooperative technology framework under which the parties may pursue specific projects through future definitive agreements. The alliance will prioritize enabling secure, scalable, and energy-efficient AI inference solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing cloud, datacenter, and physical environments across Indonesia.
