Falck Schmidt increases composite capabilities

With the acquisition of Xperion ACE composite manufacturing capabilities in Fredericia, Denmark, Falck Schmidt will further develop and expand the long tradition of the two companies’ capabilities in manufacturing of composites components in carbon fibre and glass fibres.

Falck Schmidt Advanced Composites Engineering

The new company in the Falck Schmidt family - Falck Schmidt Advanced Composites Engineering (FS ACE) will continue its 15 years of experience in design, development and production of advanced composites.

FS ACE will continue to develop and produce composite tubes, witch basic characteristics are high strength, large specific stiffness and low weight.

FS ACE will focus on of the company's long experience in transforming elements in composites to fulfil the customers special and some time unique requirements.

Low weight composites with high strength

By continuously working on improving the production method and using 'Filament Winding' and 'Out-of-autoclave' technology, FS ACE obtain a very effective production process with reduced manufacturing costs. This also leads to products with

• Low weight and cost.
• High structural strength and integrity with few connections.
• Armour and/or ballistic capability can be integrated and/or added to the products.
• High ballistic damage tolerance.

Out-of-autoclave technology

A primary key factor in using 'Out-of-autoclave' technology is an increasing production volume capability while improving cost. This enables FS ACE to use structural composites in designing and production of parts to military vehicles and helicopters.

FS ACE will continuously develop the competences of its current employees and deliver high end products to the existing customer platform from industries like:

• Wind energy.
• Nautical Industry.
• Automation industry.
• Air Crafts/Aerospace.
• Building and Construction Industry.
• Defence Industry.
