Cevotec Partners With KCompositeLab, Brings Robotic Lamination to South Korea

<p>Cevotec (Unterhaching, Germany) and KCompositeLab (KCLab, Seoul, South Korea) have entered a commercial partnership to bring robotic lamination to composites manufacturers in South Korea. KCLab acts as Cevotec's sales partner in the Korean market and supports customers technically - from the first feasibility assessment through process development to production ramp-up - leveraging its own composite engineering capabilities.</p><p>The partnership primarily targets two industries: manufacturers of aerospace and defense structures, and producers of composite pressure vessels for hydrogen storage. Sovereign aerospace programs, a rapidly expanding defense export industry and government-backed localization initiatives create sustained demand, while hydrogen mobility drives volume in composite tank production. The type of process automation demand from these industries match Cevotec's equipment portfolio well.</p><p>Cevotec's robotic lamination technology is based on the fiber patch placement (FPP) process, which has been developed in the aerospace industry for close to 20 years.
