In EFRO-funded program PRODUCE, Klieverik develops an inpregnating and fixation system for optimally impregnated thermoplastic PREPREGs and Fixed Blanks, based on their calender technology.This project is made possible by the European Regional Development Fund, EFRO.
The PRODUCE project focuses on the development of the new generation of production technology for the production of composite tape and its finished products and the use of high-end lightweight products.This tape is made of carbon and thermoplastic. The high quality of this tape makes it easy for further processing and requires less energy.The tapes are processed as efficiently as possible to minimize the amount of waste.The end products are optimized for use in high-end lightweight products through thermoforming and overmoulding and are competitively priced.
This project is a unique partnership between the Netherlands based companies TenCate Advanced Composites, Cato Composite Innovations BV (Rheden), Klieverik Heli B.V. (Oldenzaal), Reden B.V. (Hengelo), University of Twente (Enschede) and HSV Packaging and Insulation Nederlands N.V. (Ede).
