ultralight
We use the thermoplastic advantage and strive for a simplified part design to provide you the lightweight potential you need.
functional
We use our design expertise and the TP-advantage to tailor the part functionality to your individual needs.
sustainable
Our lightweight products enable you to save resources and we actively strive towards a circular economy, making them from recycled and recyclable material.
cost-effective
We simplify composite parts and use our platform technology to integrate functionality, automate manufacturing and provide you the most cost-effective solution.
Motion & Load Transfer
Thermoplastics composites (TPCs) have outstanding specific mechanical properties that make them eminently suitable to transfer loads in parts with a clear load path like struts and driveshafts. The meltability of TPCs allows to integrate load transfer elements directly into the part to make them lighter, more robust and cost-effective.
- Struts & Rods
- Drive shafts
- Shafts with levers
- Truss elements

Fluid Transport & Storage
The chemical resistance of TPCs in combination with their thermo-mechanical properties offer superior performance in harsh and challenging environments. Using non-metallic fittings and integrating them directly into the part enables lighter, more resistant and corrosion free solutions.
- Fuel pipes
- Hydraulic pipes
- Electrical resistance pipes
- LH2/LOX pipes
- H2 tanks
- Air ducts
Complex Shape & Functionality
TPCs can be welded and thermoformed. The herone technology allows curvature, branches, and variation of cross-section. We use that to increase the design space and add additional value.
- Fan casings
- Blades
- Frame segments
- Handlebars
- Rackets
- Seat frames
- Winglet center spars
