Pultrusion & Braid-Pultrusion

Pultruded thermoplastic profiles with tailored fiber architecture

// Pultrusion Technology

Tailored composite architecture

Our profiles combine continuous unidirectional fibers with integrated off-axis reinforcement.
  • UD fibers (0°) > maximize axial stiffness and strength
  • Off-axis braid (±θ) > improve torsion, stability and impact resistance
  • Thermoplastic matrix > enables forming, welding and integration
This combination enables load-path optimized structures and increased design freedom beyond conventional pultrusion.

Function integration

Our pultruded thermoplastic composite profiles combine continuous fiber alignment with tailored off-axis reinforcement. By integrating braid structures into the pultrusion process, we enable optimized profiles not only for axial loads, but also for torsion, impact resistance and stability. The thermoplastic matrix enables post-forming, welding and functional integration — supporting efficient system integration and scalable manufacturing.
