Well-known automotive suppliers have been relying on the quality of our products for decades.

Interior

In the interior, components such as roof panels and trunk panels are made from textile glass mats. In addition to its low weight, textile glass offers the advantages of high fire protection, low noise emission values and electro-insulating properties.

Product: Powder mat

Exterior

Components in the field of automotive / motorsport applications for exterior use, such as spoilers, wheel arches, superstructures, door panels, etc., are manufactured using UP, EP or VE resins in hand lay-up or infusion processes.
Depending on the properties and requirements of the components, different materials are used (e.g. Coroplex, mats, multiaxial fabrics, roving fabric). Furthermore, thermoplastic components are also used in the exterior, e.g. in the rear-view mirror cladding, in underbody components or other superstructures.

Castings

Long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics are reinforced by the glass fiber and lead to optimum properties in injection-molded parts such as front end and instrument panel carriers, as well as door panels, such as a lower tendency to creep and freedom from corrosion.

Vehicle superstructures

In particular, the weight advantage of fiberglass products in combination with their high rigidity lead to a strong sales argument vis-à-vis truck manufacturers and their customer groups. However, the cost potential resulting from the weight reduction of the superstructures does not lead to a higher risk for road users due to the specific strength. The stability of the bodies remains undiminished.
