Tier 2 partners
We proudly present our Tier 2 partners. These partners have access to all the research generated in the field of thermoplastic composites and enjoy partial voting rights in the Consortium Board. Would you like to know more about Tier 1 membership? Look here.
We believe that successful innovation is driven by a good fundamental understanding. Our understanding of material behavior in melt and the resulting unique characterization tests that we have created, for example, are well appreciated by numerous aerospace companies, whom we help to produce defect-free thermoplastic composite parts.
