Carbon fibre
reinforced plastic
(CFRP)

Discover fibre composites and their unique properties.

Why you should rely on composites

The targeted combination of carbon fibres and plastic creates an innovative material whose mechanical properties can be specifically adapted to the requirements of the final products.

This technology allows the manufacturing of numerous products that show comparable or better properties than steel and offer significant advantages, especially in lightweight designs.

Advantages of fibre composite technology

  • Low weight
  • Highest strength
  • Adjustable properties
  • Corrosion resistance
  • High stiffness
  • Amagnetic
  • High dynamic load capacity

Insights into products and services

  • CFRP hybrid hydraulic cylinder
  • Tubes and profiles
  • Accumulators
  • Engine components, such as rotorsleeves
  • Material characterization and testing
  • and many more...

Depending on the application, we process many other fibre types in addition to carbon fibres, such as glass, aramid or basalt fibres.

Do you have questions about specific products?

Do you already know our CFRP hybrid cylinder?

By using a CFRP winding on the hydraulic cylinder, the weight of the component can be significantly reduced while maintaining the same installation situation.
