Plastic profiles for lightweight: doing more with less

Lightweight construction: designing for low weight

Major opportunities of plastic profiles offer for industrial lightweight

Lightweight plastic profiles offer numerous advantages that make them the solution of choice for many industrial applications:

  • Weight reduction: The main advantage of our lightweight plastic profiles is the significant weight reductions they deliver. This results in lower transportation costs, easier handling and improved energy efficiency.
  • High strength coupled with low weight: Despite their low weight, these profiles exhibit exceptional strength and stability. This makes them ideal for applications in which both stability under load and reduction of weight to a minimum are crucial.
  • Cost efficiency: By reducing material consumption and optimizing production processes, lightweight plastic profiles represent a cost-efficient solution for numerous applications.
  • Corrosion resistance: Our plastic profiles are resistant to many media, which increases their reliability and extends their service life.
  • Flexibility in processing: Ease of processing enables custom profiles to be manufactured for specific requirements, creating additional design freedom. We would be happy to process your profiles to your specifications.

Typical lightweight applications for plastic profiles

Plastic profiles are used in a wide range of products and sectors where light weight is a focus:

  • Transportation and logistics systems: Lightweight profiles for containers and shelving systems that improve efficiency in logistics and storage.
  • Building and façade elements: For use in lightweight load-bearing systems, façade designs and interior finishing, to ensure structural integrity coupled with minimum weight.
  • Vehicle construction: For use in structural and bodyshell components of passenger cars and commercial vehicles, to reduce weight and increase performance.
  • Electrical and power engineering: Use in lightweight and robust enclosures for electrical equipment and power distribution systems, offering high levels of performance and protection.
  • Robotics and aviation: Reduction of mass in moving systems in order to save energy or fuel.
