About EAST-4D Carbon Technology
EAST-4D Carbon Technology GmbH manufactures carbon lightweight components using the patented EAST-4D® process – a filament winding technique with 3D contour shaping. This is complemented by the Filament-Winding-Forming (FWF) and Filament-Winding-Injection (FWI) processes. The company supports projects from the first sketch through development to series production and is distinguished by a high level of in-house value creation. The components are primarily used in aerospace, mobility, and climate- and CO2-related applications; megatrends such as mobility and CO2 emissions dominate the demand for carbon. EAST-4D is qualified as an approved Rolls-Royce supplier for flying components and is certified for manufacturing and special processes according to Rolls-Royce standards. The manufacturing company, based in Dresden (Hauboldstraße 8), sees itself, by its own account, as a deep-tech SME without a directly comparable competitor in the global B2B market.
