Following the great success of recent years, the time has finally come again: SMCCREATE is entering its third round and invites you to the Vienna House Diplomat in Prague on 4 and 5 November 2025! The European conference brings together experts, companies and research institutes from across the entire SMC/BMC value chain. You can look ... Read more
Automated tape laying processes are often used for series applications in the production of high-performance components made of fiber composites. Depending on their technological characteristics, these can be divided into Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), Automated Tape Laying (ATL) and Fiber Patch Placement (FPP) in order to meet the requirements of different industries. The selection of ... Read more
The GKV cordially invites all its member companies and those of the sponsoring associations to the intensive seminar on crisis management and crisis communication on November 12/13, 2025 in Frankfurt am Main. For small and medium-sized companies in particular, communication during a crisis can be crucial to their survival - regardless of whether it is ... Read more
Pultrusion - an automated manufacturing process for fibre-reinforced plastics - benefits particularly from digitalization. Digital technologies can be used to make all process steps more efficient, from simulation and work preparation to system set-up and quality assurance. In work preparation, digitalization enables more efficient production planning, for example through digital tools for assembly planning, material ... Read more
We are pleased to invite you to the second session of the RECREATE webinar series entitled "Giving Composites a Second Life: Reuse and Remanufacturing". The session will be opened by Volker Mathes from AVK, who will talk about the sustainability of composites and the challenges and opportunities of their reuse in a circular economy. Ines ...

Nowadays, fiber composites are used in a wide variety of applications and, thanks to their lightweight construction potential, have become indispensable in many areas. As various types of waste are generated along the process chain and ultimately at the end of the use phase and the production of reinforcing fibers usually requires a lot of ... Read more
Economical, sustainable and flexible - this is how the production of fiber composite components should be in the future. But which technologies are best suited in each case and how can production be ideally designed? And how can the ecological sustainability of production and products be determined and increased? The seminar provides a basic understanding ... Read more
In the production of biocomposites, a matrix material (plastic) is processed with fibers as a reinforcing material, whereby at least one component must be obtained from a renewable resource by definition. This results in new sustainable materials that have exceptional mechanical properties and can be used in lightweight construction. Fibers made from flax, hemp or ... Read more
