On a large open-plan booth covering a total area of 159 square metres, SGL Group exhibited many different innovative fibre materials and composite solutions. These included material innovations such as towpregs- based on 50k continuous carbon fibre tow and thermoplastic composites based on glass fibres, which are particularly suitable for large-scale manufacture. SGL Group also premiered its “Carbon Core” body for the new BMW 7 series model, which proved to be one of the show's highlights, according to a press release.
SGL Group also participated in a series of technical presentations, providing insights into material trends that support the increasingly automated production of composites for large-scale manufacture. The company was also among 29 recipients of the JEC Innovation Award, for the composite-based rear panel of the Audi MSS platform, produced jointly with Benteler and now fitted as standard on the Audi R8 and other models.
Andreas Wüllner, head of SGL Group's composites – fibres and materials business unit said, “This year's JEC World was one of the most successful trade shows in recent years for us. We held substantive discussions with many large automotive and aerospace manufacturers. Our talks focused not only on material properties but increasingly also on concepts for the use of composites and their integration into existing production processes.” (GK)
