The vision that drives us
We want to expedite the transition of the global composites industry to a more cost- and energy-efficient future and to help previously untouched markets adapt advanced lightweight material technology. To achieve these goals, we want to redefine the limits of cycle time and laminate quality encountered in large scale composites production and provide recyclable material preforms for processes currently bound to thermosets.
From an idea to its realization:
It started with a simple thought. If trying to fill the gaps between fibres with plastic is difficult, why don’t we reverse the problem? We started coating fibres with plastic — individually at first, then with multiple filaments in parallel, and finally in-line with glass spinning. In 2020, Antefil kicked off as a technology transfer project to bring this technology to market and establish a new standard in composites production.
Achievements and origins
We have spearheaded the development of microengineered hybrid fibres and their associated technologies.
The people who make it happen
We combine over 50 years of experience in composites technologies.
