Austria is home to a large number of companies in the lightweight construction sector. From SMEs to large global corporations, they are world market and technology leaders in many areas: materials development, process engineering, production of semi-finished products, 3D printing and much more. For example, they supply tanks for rockets designed to explore space or lightweight components for aircraft and the automotive industry. This concentrated know-how would be unthinkable without the research facilities and universities in Austria.
On the following pages, our members introduce themselves with their products, services and key competences. This partner guide can therefore be read like a competence map of lightweight construction.
