Bavarian company TK Industries has been taken over by Saertex. This increases Saertex’s range of heavy-tow carbon fibre multiaxial fabrics. TK Industries is a specialised, medium-sized fabric manufacturer based in Selbitz, in Germany. At its production site, the company only processes carbon fibres with the latest multiaxial production technology.

Saertex acquired one hundred percent of shares in the Bavarian company TK Industries in July 2019.

The manufacturing technology at TK Industries is optimised for the use of cost-efficient 24k and 50k rovings and according to this, the products manufactured by TK Industries perfectly complement the Saertex range of high-quality multiaxial fabrics. Customers can be found in the industrial and transport sectors, especially in boat building and automotive industry. Other areas of application include wind energy and infrastructure.

In addition to new opportunities for the Saertex Group, there are also advantages for the customers. "The acquisition of TK Industries will provide us with additional capacity in the short term to meet the ever-increasing demand for carbon fibre fabrics and thus enable improved delivery times for our customers," says Christoph Geyer, CEO Saertex Group.

The goal is to grow together and use common resources in purchasing, production and distribution. "We have seen initial successes and are confident that, through the close collaboration, we will further enhance our range of multiaxial carbon fabrics. Our strength lies in spreading heavy tows at low areal weights and processing them into lightweight NCFs," says Mirko Ackermann, operations manager TK Industries. (SV)
