Our materials
As a supplier for utility and commercial vehicle manufacturers, we produce a wide variety of products and components made of rubber, polyurethane (PUR) and plastic.
For the manufacture of parts and components we make use of the following materials:
- Technical thermoplastics
- Thermoplastic elastomers
- Low-friction, flame retardant special-purpose thermoplastics
- Rubber/silicone
- Insulating foams
- Fiber reinforced plastics (FRP)
Components made of polyurethane foam
We produce polyurethane components for the interior and exterior of commercial and utility vehicles. This material retains its form at a wide range of temperatures and has outstanding sound and thermal insulation properties. In addition, large molded parts made of PUR foam have good stability even with low wall thickness.
Depending on customer requirements and the particular application, we process PUR foam in the following forms:
- Reaction injection molding duromers
- Semi-rigid duromers
- Compact duromers
- Hard integral foam
- Soft integral foam
- Combined systems made of PUR and glass fibers
The surfaces of our products can be rendered in wide range of textures – smooth or with a leather grain contour or with other structures. We can color parts during the production process or paint them afterwards with matte or glossy finishes.
Using PUR foam we produce, for example:
- Instrument panels
- Fenders
- Paneling parts for vehicle interiors
Our service promise
We've been active for many decades in the areas of industrial design, assembly, production automation, finishing and quality assurance for plastic parts for special-purpose vehicles. Our specialists take care of the complete production process – from the design and development of molded parts and prototypes to serial production.
We can serve all your needs from a single source, providing visualizations in CATIA V5, FEM simulations, mold-flow calculations and project management. In addition, we have the latest tactile and optical 3D measurement devices for component measurement.
