About us

VRI COMPOSITES

Leading composites expertise from a single source – that’s what VRI Composites stands for. Our experts master the entire value chain – from the development of resin recipes through the manufacturing processes to the machining of the materials. We combine over 80 years of experience in the production of groundbreaking composite materials with state-of-the-art plant technology.

TWO MODERN SITES

The Augsburg plant within VRI Composites specializes in producing and processing composite materials. Through our wide range of resins and fiber reinforcements, we produce a variety of different composite materials. This variety guarantees that we can offer the material that promises the best results for your application.

In addition to semi-finished products, we also produce parts according to drawings for you. Our competence center for machining composites includes the locations in Augsburg (Germany) and Bradford (England). Both locations have a large machine park with the most modern machining centers and technologies.

Part of a strong international group

VRI Composites is part of The Gund Company – a leader in composite, thermoplastics, and elastomeric material manufacturing that provides a unique performance advantage. Making more from materials is an essential part of VRI Composites.

The production site in the south of Augsburg in the Munich metropolitan area is strategically located and very easily accessible. The entire value chain of production for composite materials takes place on 50,000 square meters. For resin formulation extensive tank capacities and fully automated mixing facilities are available. Fabrics and resin formulations are processed into prepregs on 6 modern horizontal and vertical treaters. The prepregs are pressed to panels or wound to tubes on site and cured in industrial ovens. Both types of semi-finished products can be processed into finished components in our own machine park. This is how high-quality components are created – made in Germany – one single source – under one roof.

Sheet material is often ground in a first processing step in order to adapt the thickness and surface quality to the customer’s requirements. We offer dry and wet grinding with an abrasive belt or a grinding stone, achieving a thickness tolerance of ± 0.01mm. The surface roughness can also be precisely adjusted, with low roughness for a better look and feel or increased roughness for subsequent painting or gluing.
