Antefil Composite Tech offers a more cost-efficient and cleaner way to produce lightweight components for applications in mobility, transport, energy and sports goods. Its patented technology allows the production of glass fibres that are individually coated with a meltable, recyclable plastic. With these fibres, lightweight structures can be manufactured using a minimal amount of pressure and heat.

The Antefil technology stands for an efficient, circular production of composites – even at a large scale. Economic advantages include time and energy savings because of shorter cycle times compared to state-of-the-art production methods, aerospace-grade component quality, and the materials’ recyclability.
