WeldNova GmbH develops and commercializes contactless electromagnetic weld pool backing systems for thick-sheet welding, including laser beam welding, arc welding, and laser-beam arc hybrid welding, and it also offers pilot tests, laboratory tests, and on-site customer trials through its application laboratory. Its technology is used to reduce welding layers, material consumption, energy use, consumables, waste, and filler materials, and it is described as applicable across wind energy, shipbuilding, bridge building, automotive, and pipeline-related fabrication. The company’s website identifies Fatma Akyel as Head of Research and Development, Dr.-Ing. Nasim Bakir as Head of Production Development, Dr.-Ing. Ömer Üstündağ as Head of Application, and Dr.-Ing. Christian Brunner-Schwer as Managing Director and Sales. WeldNova says it is a spin-off of the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), and company and partner coverage describes it as having been founded in November 2023 in Berlin-Steglitz. Public descriptions also say the company’s latest fundraising support comes through the EXIST programme, backed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection and the European Social Fund.
