About Composite World
Composite World GmbH is a manufacturer of carbon fiber lightweight components based in Unterwellenborn-Langenschade in Thuringia. Since 2002, the company has produced high-quality carbon fiber parts using the prepreg process and covers all steps of composite manufacturing – from design through prototyping to series production. The service portfolio includes wet lamination/hand lay-up, vacuum infusion and the prepreg-autoclave process as well as mold making and tool production (direct and aluminum tools). Materials used include carbon fiber fabrics in various weaves, including twill weave, plain weave and forged carbon. The company manufactures visible carbon components as well as technical parts such as seat bench brackets for racing motorcycles or brake air cooling ducts for motorsport vehicles, and supplies industries such as motorsport, tuning, automotive/automotive supply, industry as well as sports and leisure. The equipment includes a hot air autoclave, an automatic cutting machine and a 3D printer. The company supplies customers in Europe.
