About Swiss CMT
Swiss CMT AG is a company for composite materials and lightweight technologies founded in Switzerland in 2013, headquartered in Galgenen in the canton of Schwyz. As Lightweight Engineers, the team supports customers from the product idea to the materialization of the series part: services include development, engineering, material and process selection, prototyping, testing, documentation, and support with industrialization, complemented by feasibility studies, training programs and customer support. The focus is on sustainable, environmentally and employee-friendly materials and processes, particularly in the field of reactive thermoplastics and solvent-free Thierset and thermoset resins as well as continuous and semi-continuous manufacturing processes. Typically, the specialists work with fiber reinforcements, resins, core materials and inserts. Through distribution agreements, Swiss CMT also distributes materials such as Armacell ArmaPET Shape 3D core foam and Huntsman Araldite® structural adhesives as a sub-distributor of BM-Chemie (CH). The company works on lightweight projects worldwide, drawing on an international network of material and machine suppliers.
