Our own carbon fiber, produced in Europe and North America, forms the basis for all processing stages of composite applications. From precursor, carbon fibers and textiles to pre-impregnated and thermoplastic materials - benefit from our diverse processing technologies and comprehensive production, material and application know-how.
Composite Solutions
In high-tech applications requiring high strength and stiffness combined with light weight, our composite solutions based on carbon and glass fibers are indispensable. Whether in the automotive, aerospace, energy or industrial sectors: we, in partnership with you, find the right material for your application, develop new components, and support implementation of efficient small and large scale production
Graphite Solutions
We are one of the world’s leading experts in specialty graphites. We have in-depth knowledge of the exceptional properties of graphite in all its forms and we know how it behaves in a wide range of processes and in combination with other materials.
We are a sought-after development partner and solution provider for our customers, and we support them with our expertise and continuously improved graphite components. We cover all processing stages and monitor the entire value chain, which enables us to guarantee the particularly high and consistent quality of our materials.
