The international textile group Chomarat has signed a distribution agreement with Velox, a European distributor for composite materials. The agreement covers distribution of Chomarat reinforcements for high-performance (carbon) composites, in France, Italy, and the US and distribution of Chomarat’s complete range of carbon and glass reinforcements in Turkey.

This new partnership will enable Chomarat to extend its network in France, Italy and the United Kingdom for its carbon fabric and multiaxial ranges, by offering its customers optimum, locally based services in line with the group’s development strategy for high-performance composites in Europe.

One component of the agreement deals with the distribution of Chomarat’s complete range of glass and carbon reinforcements in Turkey, where the composite market is booming, in particular in the transportation sector. Relying on Velox’s strong foothold in the Turkish market, Chomarat will build up its flagship ROVICORE line, the first glass-fibre-reinforced sandwich reinforcement, which was designed and developed by Chomarat for closed-mould processes. “The idea is to step up our glass activities and still offer our customers more flexibility over the entire range of our reinforcements,” explains Vincent Cholvy, in charge of the Turkish market at Chomarat.

By distributing Chomarat’s high-performance composites, Velox will develop its offering in the transportation, sports and leisure and boating sectors. According to Serge Gradys , manager of the Velox Composites Business, “in Europe, the distribution of the Chomarat range of carbon multiaxial range with C-WeaveTM and C-PlyTM, gives us a real competitive advantage and enables us to maintain our position as an innovation distributor. The same is true for the carbon and glass ranges distributed in Turkey!” (SV)
