The aim of Composites Germany is to strengthen the composites industry in Germany. In the framework of its mission to build up representation of interests, Composites Germany edited a position paper with the goal to build upon the high level of competence in Germany and work with the government to develop Germany in the global market as the leading supplier of material- independent lightweight construction to all industries using all represented materials and to position it as an international leading supplier. Lightweight construction technologies combine a high economic potential with resource protection and energy efficiency. Lightweight construction therefore needs to become one of the central industrial and innovation-political topics in the new legislative period. Please find the entire paper here.

A consortium of international companies joined forces to drive the future of Sheet Molding Compound (SMC), an established and cost-efficient material for the production of lightweight components. The companies will kick off a joint Market and Technology Study on September 12, 2017 which will pave the way for establishing a new high-performance generation of SMC materials (High-Performance SMC). Companies along the entire SMC value chain as well as those interested in the SMC technology are invited to join. Please find the related press release here.
