About Consider Carbon
Consider Carbon is a specialized company for textile composite manufacturing located south of Hamburg. The portfolio includes CNC cutting of technical textiles with a cutting width of up to 1600 mm (Lectra Multilayer Cutter, multi-ply up to 15 plies), the production of dimensionally stable preforms for RTM processes of up to approx. 400 × 400 mm on thermal presses, and composite narrow fabric weaving with woven tapes from 20 to 110 mm width. Materials processed include carbon fiber, glass fiber, aramid and hybrid fabrics as well as nonwovens, thermal binder materials, foams, sealing materials made of rubber and silicone, sandwich materials, corrugated board and cardboard. The company supports the entire production chain from prototype and small series through to series production and also offers research & development as well as recycling of offcuts by material group. Customer industries include the automotive industry, rail vehicles, wind energy, defence, construction as well as the sports and leisure industry; companies throughout Europe are supplied.
