The aerospace industry is one of the most demanding industries in the world. Technological innovations, maximum safety, uncompromising lightweight construction and maximum material reliability are essential for project success. At AMD GmbH, we develop and produce glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) profiles that fully meet these requirements – precisely manufactured, durable and ideal for the challenges of tomorrow’s aerospace technology.
Why GRP in the aerospace industry?
In hardly any other industry does component weight have such a direct impact on cost-effectiveness, safety and energy efficiency as in aviation. Our GRP profiles offer significant advantages compared to conventional metallic materials:
- Significant weight saving with the same strength
- Excellent dimensional stability under changing temperature and pressure conditions
- Flame-retardant material options in accordance with applicable standards
- High precision with customized production according to drawing
- Low thermal conductivity and electrical insulation, ideal for use in sensitive areas
These properties predestine our GRP solutions for cabin elements, technical installations, cladding, cable ducts or secondary structural elements.
Customized solutions for demanding applications
At AMD GmbH, we rely on state-of-the-art production technologies and close cooperation with our customers. This results in GRP profiles that are optimally tailored to individual project requirements. Our range of services includes
- Profile geometries exactly according to drawing
- Sandwich structures with integrated rigidity and additional functions
- Surfaces in smooth or matt, optionally with colored top layer (e.g. red)
- Integrable functional inserts such as fire protection or EMC elements
Our products are manufactured entirely in Germany and are subject to the strictest quality controls – for maximum process reliability and maximum dependability in use.
GRP – a material with prospects
The requirements in the aerospace industry are constantly increasing – both technologically and in terms of regulation. Our GRP profiles are not only a functional alternative to metal, but also a contribution to the sustainable development of the industry. In combination with recyclable resin systems and a regionally oriented supply chain, our solutions make a measurable contribution to CO₂ reduction and resource conservation.
