Active Dynamics believes there’s a better way to design and manufacture sustainable custom OEM solutions for emissions control, sound, power, thermal and fluid dynamics applications. The better way takes a progressive approach to achieve sustainability and social responsibility to not only deliver products that reduce both acoustic and exhaust emissions, but also supports the environment and the local community.

Celebrating 65 years of operation, Active Dynamics technology enables clean, comfortable, secure, and optimum operation of vehicles and equipment used at work and at play. Industries served by the company’s exhaust and emission management solutions include off-highway (agriculture, construction, forestry, mining), powersports, automotive, commercial vehicles, small engines, industrial, marine, and stationary power. With locations throughout North America, Europe, and Asia, Active Dynamics provides the knowledge and experience to efficiently navigate international markets and serve customers and partners around the world.

From the smallest components to complex systems, Active Dynamics provide solutions for:

• Thermal Management. These include structural and ultra-lightweight encapsulated technologies and Active Dynamics’ single and multi-layer shields, which are removable, and feature a low-emissivity design that promotes base exhaust tube breathability with minimal thermal conductivity. They provide optimal temperature ranges across the entirety of any system’s architecture, including catalytic conversion efficiency, cold start emissions, gas aspirator technologies and overall thermal safety. Thermal management systems are available with different insulation media, a broad range of gauges, and in different shapes, as needed. Every heat shield is customized as needed to ensure vehicle integrity, keep operators safe, and minimize equipment down-time.
• Acoustic Performance. A core consideration is to think beyond simple decibel levels and consider every audible note to deliver outcomes that greatly improve user experience and performance. This process includes using aero acoustic methodology and 3D mapping to create, shape, and balance custom noise isolating products and dampening methods using a virtually endless library of sound profiles.
• Emission Control. Turnkey emissions control solutions with proficiency in coating and catalyst technologies. These capabilities are paired with aftertreatment services that address emerging EPA, CARB, and Euro VII regulations as well as India’s Bharat IV and V. The commitment to support diverse emission control strategies is strengthened through well-established working relationships with a broad range of catalyst suppliers and for full system design capability through its joint venture, Active Dinex Emission Solutions.
• System Integration. Tailored products and solutions made to target any specific requirement and provide long-term benefit, ensuring harmonious results that integrate smoothly and efficiently into any existing environment or system.

As a fully integrated, global supplier, every solution created by Active Dynamics is managed from start to finish in-house to bring exceptional value and support to customers. This entails “exhaustive” testing and development that begins with identifying and assessing customer requirements before a single design step is taken. Advanced predictive tools outline schedules and budgets, with industry-leading tools applied to test performance durability and engine integration along with physical testing that includes portable noise source localization equipment, semi-anechoic sound test chambers, emissions test bench, environmental chambers, and multi-fuel and multi-positional engine dynamometers supported by an extensive engine library.

Speed-to-Market

In-house, flexible tooling and machining capabilities create and deliver production-ready prototypes within days, helping drive a speed-to-market for customers on a global basis. Cost-effective and progressive design, engineering, and manufacturing services offer a range of innovative capabilities. These include large-diameter tube bending, a proprietary, high-temperature powder paint line, precision fabrication, and on-site quality assurance programs. Customers around the globe know they can count on Active Dynamics to help them build vehicles and equipment that meet the highest quality standards. Just one example of the many accolades bestowed on Active Dynamics, its India facility, Active Chromewell Exhaust was named “Most Versatile Supplier for the Year 2022” by Kubota India.

The Active Dynamics philosophy is that each customer and each project is different, with unique market considerations and specific performance requirements. By taking the time to understand individual goals and challenges, Active Dynamics develops effective solutions that address immediate needs as well as longterm goals.

Sustainability Practices

The company’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond the products it makes to how it makes its products. Operations around the world are engaged in practices designed to support the environment and community. These activities include recycling programs, water conservation, and social program support.

As a global, multicultural company, Active Dynamics touts as a key strength the diversity of its employees, which totals more than a thousand workers worldwide. In addition to offering competitive benefits and professional growth opportunities, Active Dynamics provides a flexible work environment that helps people succeed while also maintaining a healthy life/ work balance with programs that further their personal well-being. Because Active Dynamics truly believes that a workplace environment built on trust and support is a workplace environment where people perform their best.
