Business Line Large Scale Solutions
BL Large Scale Solutions is focusing on high volume automotive applications. In the Product Segment “Structural Components” we are focusing especially on Battery Case Applications and GFRP Leaf Spring, in the Product Segment “Wet Friction” on different types of carbon based friction materials. Our advantage is the knowledge, experience, and capability form design & engineering to a fully automated series production.
Battery enclosures made of fiber composite materials help to make the mobility of tomorrow even more efficient – with low weight, high safety, functional integration and convincing cost-effectiveness. We are the right partner and support you in all stages of development – from planning, conception and development to series production in automotive quality and high quantities.
Composite Leaf Springs offer enormous potential for weight savings with an enhanced durability behavior, due to excellent corrosion resistance. In addition, SGL Leaf Spring concepts convince with high flexibility, to allow a cost-effectively implementation of necessary product variety for various vehicle types.
Carbon friction materials are a common element in modern drives. Their capabilities frequently surpass conventional materials. Explore our types and options that we can provide for your application.
Business Line Small Series Solution
BL Small Series Solutions includes the small series production area in Ried and CFK in Meitingen. We offer all manufacturing processes from autoclave technology to RTM and wet pressing for small and medium component volumes (five-digit range p.a.).
