Awarding of prestigious AVK Innovation Awards
The 1st International Composites Congress (ICC) organised by the trade association Composites Germany was a complete success. Nearly 350 visitors participated in the inaugural event in Stuttgart, which featured more than 30 technical lectures and a panel discussion with leading experts. Their objective: to identify potential breakthrough applications for fibre reinforced composites using traditional and high performance techniques, especially in high wage countries. The USA was the partner country of the ICC this year. The next ICC will take place on 28/29 November 2016 in Düsseldorf.
Awarding of prestigious AVK Innovation Awards
- Modular system for mixed-water sewage systems
- Shock absorption crossbeam made from plastic
- Shape-adapting CRP side impact beam
At the event, the German Federation of Reinforced Plastics (AVK) has presented its 2015 Innovation Awards in three categories. The winner of the category Products and Applications was Hobas Engineering GmbH with a modular system for the calculation of mixed-water sewage systems. In Processes and Methods the most persuasive company was Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center GmbH which impressed the jury with its plastic shock absorption crossbeam. In the third category, Research and Science, the winning product was a shape-adapting CRP impact beam, developed by the Chair in Carbon Composites, Munich Technical University, together with its partners.
