Composites Germany

The Composites Germany trade association is formed by four leading German fibre composite industry expert organisations, aiming to strengthen the German composite industry, particularly in the field of research, determine common positions, and take overlapping interests into account.

The four members include AVK – Federation of Reinforced Plastics, Carbon Composites, CFK Valley Stade, and VDMA Forum Composite Technology. The companies are joining their efforts to further the future oriented themes of high performance composites and automated production technology, which are particularly relevant in Germany.
