Against a background of limited raw material and energy resources, intelligent lightweight construction solutions are gaining importance in nearly every industrial sector. They offer significant competitive advantage by increasing energy and material efficiency.
Modern, high-tensile steels, textiles and cellular materials, lightweight metals and fiber composite materials are used in more and more products: wide-body aircraft, cars, high-speed trains, bridges, wind turbines... there is no limit to where these innovations can serve. Fiber composite materials are extremely strong and weather-resistant, and also weigh far less than conventional materials. They consist of two primary components: a net of natural, glass or carbon fiber, and a bedding matrix of resin. Combined like this, the materials have much better properties than when employed individually.
Industrial Supply examines these cutting-edge technologies in a single exhibitor area at the lightweight construction theme park. Products and systems made of lightweight construction materials or employing lightweight construction technology, as well as specific lightweight construction solutions for industry are presented. Its proximity to the Energy and MobiliTec trade shows allows the theme park to benefit from excellent synergies in the areas of wind energy and electromobility in particular.
