About Haufler Composites
Haufler Composites is a family-owned company based in Blaubeuren, specialising in carbon materials and fibre-reinforced plastics. Since 1997, the company has been distributing carbon and glass fibre semi-finished products such as fabrics, multiaxial fabrics, rovings and prepregs, as well as epoxy resins (Sika), adhesives, block materials and process materials for fibre composite technology. From 2002 onwards, this was complemented by in-house production of customised CFRP plate semi-finished products (carbon epoxy, carbon PEEK, carbon thermoplastic organosheets) and components made from them, supplemented by pressing processes, filament winding and waterjet cutting. CNC machining of fibre composites is carried out in-house, producing precise carbon components up to a length of 3 m. Fields of application include mechanical engineering, medical technology, metrology, robotics, aerospace, automotive, wind energy and boat building. The company works with a worldwide network of suppliers and customers.
