Large-area cladding and functional parts for coaches and city buses — light, damping and series-ready.
Today every part has to meet several goals at once — that is exactly where natural fiber composite comes in.
Large, complex parts with a Class-A-capable surface.
Light and stiff — good for center of gravity and consumption.
Large-area, damping and ready to fit.
Light interior parts with good acoustics.
Functional parts incl. fastening points.
Large-area parts that become lighter and quieter.
NFRP reduces not only weight but directly the part cost — with properties comparable to GFRP.
Lower density and an optimized layup reduce material usage per part — directly cost-effective.
Semi-automated impregnation and digitally defined processes reduce manual work and manufacturing cost.
Short cycle time through the reusable vacuum hood and ready-to-fit delivery save follow-up costs.
Front and rear masks, roof elements and side cladding in bus building are large-area, geometrically demanding and built in comparatively small numbers. This combination makes tooling cost per part the decisive factor — and rules out processes that only become economical at six-figure volumes.
At the same time every kilogram counts twice: it reduces consumption and, on roof parts, affects the centre of gravity. Inside, acoustic comfort is added, which on large-area cladding depends substantially on the damping behaviour of the material. Fire-protection and functional requirements are assessed at the concept stage, before a part is designed.
Concept, material, tooling, manufacturing and assembly with one partner — fewer interfaces, less risk.
Digitally recorded process parameters ensure consistent part quality — up to ~5,000 units / year.
Patented NFK Wetpreg Molding and in-house material design as a real differentiator.
One continuous path — series-ready and reproducible.
Requirements, packaging, interfaces — thought through from the first concept.
Stiffness, temperature, vibration, weather and fastening points.
Natural-fiber plies, resin system, sandwich layup, local reinforcements.
Sample parts, demonstrators, fit trials, iteration on the real part.
Prototype and series tooling, process window, trimming, quality assurance.
Gelcoat, painting, inserts, fastening points, ready-to-fit delivery.
You don't have to commit right away: send us an existing GFRP part, a drawing or an idea. We assess the potential — and you see whether the path is worth it.
Send us a drawing, an existing GFRP part or an idea — we'll get in touch and assess the potential for natural fiber composite together.
