CEM, Composite Essential Materials, was established 3 years ago stemming from the success of Nida-Core. After 25 years as a leader in the industry for core materials, the name Nida-Core became quickly synonymous with lightweight, strong, rot-proof and composite solution.

Bremen/Hamburg, 27. Juli 2016. TeamGaebler’s SpeedFoiler project continues to gain momentum. On Wednesday, the team – headed by the multiple sailing world champions Roland and Nahid Gäbler – announced additional partners and suppliers for the construction of the high-speed catamaran and the planned global Foiling World Cup racing series. As recently as the beginning of June, the global specialty chemicals company Evonik, based in Essen (Germany), came on board as a partner in the development of the prototype.

SAERTEX Portugal is quickly expanding its production capacity by 50 percent to meet the fast-growing demand for multiaxial non-crimp fabrics made of glass, carbon and aramid fibers.

Saerbeck – SAERTEX is expanding its production area at its location in Saerbeck by an additional 10,000 square meters, resulting in a total of more than 50,000 square meters. District Administrator Dr. Klaus Effing, Saerbeck’s Mayor Wilfried Roos, SAERTEX founder Bruno Lammers and his two sons Simon and Klaus Lammers – who recently moved up into management positions in the company – took part in the groundbreaking ceremony on June 12.

Sturdier than PVC – lighter than balsa. SAERTEX®, with its hybrid core material SAERfoam®, offers a product that significantly improves efficiency during the manufacture of components, while simultaneously offering freely definable material characteristics.

Time is money – particularly in the composites industry in which only very few processes are automated. Innovations which facilitate relevant time savings are therefore all the more important. SAERTEX® has created such an innovation with its integrated SAERflow® resin flow media.

A hybrid core material with ultralight foam matched with additional reinforcement provided by 3D glass bridges: SAERfoam® from SAERTEX delivers this perfect combination – and to a level of quality certified by Germanische Lloyd.

There are some field of application where low weight and excellent mechanical properties are not sufficient in themselves: Standard fibre-reinforced composite parts always reach their limits in situations where fire safety standards are particularly strict. The offshore industry, marine market, public construction and mass transportation sectors provide just a few examples of this.
