What are you looking for (partners, solutions, information, products)?
Jakob, A+ Composites: We are always open to new partnerships and collaborations with companies and organizations involved in lightweight and composite materials. We are seeking innovative solutions, new technologies, and collaboration opportunities to push the boundaries of what is possible in the field of Llightweight construction. Additionally, we are interested in staying informed about current trends and developments in the field of lightweight and composite materials. Moreover, we are constantly looking to expand our product portfolio and discover new products that can bring added value to our customers.
What trends are you observing for lightweight and composites?
Jakob, A+ Composites: We are observing several trends in the field of lightweight and composite materials. Firstly, there is a growing demand for lightweight materials in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, wind energy, and sports equipment. Weight reduction is a critical factor for efficiency
improvement and emission reduction in these areas. Secondly, we see an increased utilization of fiberreinforced composites, especially carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) and glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP), due to their excellent strength properties combined with low weight. Thirdly, sustainable and environmentally friendly lightweight materials are gaining importance as the industry increasingly focuses onresource-efficient solutions.
