Partnership to develop reinforcement technologies

A new collaboration aims to continue the development of sustainable lightweight composites for the automotive industry and make environmental considerations more accessible in transportation. Kordsa and TRB have formed a partnership for the manufacturing of ground-breaking composite materials.
TRB Lightweight Structures, Huntingdon/UK, has successfully supplied over 65,000 composite components to Tier 1 automotive programs using its proprietary thermoset prepreg material, and has a comprehensive range of bio-resins to suit the various applications and needs of its customers. These lightweight and durable parts improve overall performance, while the company’s high throughput production techniques help to reduce lead times and cost. The new partnership will enhance the company’s offerings, with broad materials science knowledge and global operation capabilities of Kordsa Global AS, Istanbul/Turkey, helping to source and supply greener materials. This will help provide innovative solutions to TRB’s customers, and is part of an ongoing drive to develop lighter components to support clean transportation.
