Finished parts from carbon reinforced thermoplastics open up a new business field
Finished parts from carbon reinforced thermoplastics open up a new business field
Ensinger GmbH in Nufringen has taken over Swiss plastics processing company next composites GmbH. The small company based in Otelfingen near Zurich, develops technologies for manufacturing products made of thermoplastic fiber composite materials. The specialists for designing and processing these composite materials, create prototypes and put complete production lines into operation on behalf of their customers.
Ensinger already offers semi-finished products made of highly filled carbon fiber composite material, however the process technologies from next composites will enhance the range of technologies for manufacturing components. Reciprocally, next composites will benefit from the Ensinger group’s broad customer base.
Carbon reinforced thermoplastics are particularly suitable for lightweight construction applications in the automotive industry, in medical technology, and in mechanical engineering. Sports goods such as bike components or winter sports equipment are an additional growth market for these modern materials. Tailored materials: advantages of carbon composites
When high-strength carbon fibers are embedded in a light plastic matrix, this creates a composite with an exceptionally high specific rigidity and strength. Compared with thermosets, thermoplastics can be welded and usually offer higher levels of toughness, improved chemical resistance, and they can be used effectively as a recyclate. By using partial or full automation, higher quantities at competitive prices are within range of ongoing development.
Welcome to ENSINGER! For more than forty years, we have developed technical plastics and high-performance plastics successfully in new applications. As well as compounds, semi-finished products and pre-fabricated parts, we offer complete assemblies and precision profiles made of thermoplastics.
Whether our customers need compounds, semi-finished products, profiles or finished parts, our products help make their applications more efficient and consequently more competitive. We aim to meet this standard every day - with a careful analysis of customer requirements, efficient development and manufacturing processes and exemplary service. The solutions found by ENSINGER are used in almost all important branches of industry, including mechanical engineering, medical technology, the automotive industry and the building industry.
Working closely together with customers and suppliers inspires and motivates us. As a family company, we strive to achieve the vision of our company founder, bringing long-term perspectives for the benefit of all those involved.
Profiles and tubes
The division Industrial Profiles and Tubes offers more than 45 years of experience in extruding engineering thermoplastics for realizing the projects of our customers.
