Service Overview

The AZL engineering team develops and benchmarks lightweight technologies, analyzes markets and identifies business potentials in individual projects with you.

What It Is

The AZL is specialized in composite-based lightweight technologies to offer you services for application, technology and business development.

  • identify market and business opportunities for your materials and technologies
  • develop component designs and production concepts
  • develop systems and processes
  • support the industrial implementation

How It Works

Our approach is to analyse target markets and applications for composite-based multi-material technologies in order to identify economically relevant application, technology and business improvements. In this way, we develop competitive innovations in highly relevant market segments for our customers and find the right partners for industrial implementation and establishment in the market. To set up a bilateral project with us just get in touch with our engineering team.
