High-performance materials

Our competencies in the field of production machines include the development of special-purpose machines for high-performance materials. We develop production machines for composite engineering and advance the automation of fiber-reinforced plastics processing. With our expertise we develop special purpose machinery for various composite processes such as Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), winding, manufacturing of semi-finished goods as well as innovative endless fiber recycling technologies.
