The Automotive sector is one of our most active divisions. Our ingenuity and versatility have established us as a renowned supplier in the automotive and the special-vehicle industries. Our expertise encompasses a wide range of applications in this sector. We develop, produce, and test products for our customers, all with the highest quality and care.
From CFRP battery housings to crane cabins for Liebherr, we have brought to life a wide variety of products.
Due to the quantities and specifications common in the special-vehicle industry, the use of fiber composite components offers an optimal cost-benefit ratio of component to tool costs (one-off costs), combined with the technology-specific lightweight construction effect.

Compared to metallic materials, the use of fiber composite materials in mechanical engineering and equipment construction capitalizes on the exceptional and unique properties of fiber composites.
This not only applies to the inherently lightweight construction potential of fiber composites, their functionality, and their high degree of design freedom, but also to special properties such as adjustable thermal expansion coefficients and unidirectionality, through to TFP (tape fiber placement).
Specific properties such as weight, rigidity, strength, modulus of elasticity, high/low temperature properties, energy absorption and vibration damping can be optimized by using fiber composites. The use of these special properties has a high, and previously underutilized, potential for machine and equipment construction.
There is, therefore, a wide range of use for fiber composites, especially CFRP, in the fields of mechanical engineering and equipment construction. Together with our research partners, we make use of these distinctive advantages in fiber composites for our customers, developing specialized components and individualized component systems.

Modern aviation presents us with ever-increasing challenges in terms of safety and reproducibility, as well as other aviation-specific requirements. Every gram of an aircraft counts, with an average service life of up to 50 years.
We meet these challenges with our commitment to innovation and the highest product quality. As a part of this rapidly developing industry, we support our clients with our skillful technical solutions and our constantly evolving expertise.
Our high-performance fiber composite components, with their high-strength and ultra-lightweight properties, help bring optimized products into use. We meet the industry-specific highly technical demands in production and documentation.
We have an adaptive learning approach, and are committed to the continual pursuit and implementation of improvements.
Our optimization along with the RTM process manufacture of carbon fibers enables enormous weight reduction in all volume variants.
Here too, in order to meet all current regulations while ensuring reliable feasibility, various materials were developed and certified in conjunction with our partners.
Compared to the conventional filament winding process, production using the RTM process enables a significantly higher degree of geometric freedom (alternating concave and convex geometries), while simultaneously reducing weight. In addition, the use of the RTM process makes it possible to avoid subsequent internal coating, while maintaining smooth external and internal surfaces. Together with our partners, various materials have been developed and certified in order to comply with all current regulations, while at the same time ensuring reliable feasibility.
