(Aalborg, Denmark), known for its reconfigurable mold system, has extended ownership of the group with composite material specialist (Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands), a new co-investor.
Curve Works Holding BV owners Dr. Tahira Ahmed and Dr. François Geuskens have built extensive knowledge of Adapa’s adaptive mold technology over the last seven years. Ahmed and Geuskens have used Adapa’s technology to pioneer new products and production technologies using composite and wood materials.
Geuskens expects to take a proactive role in Adapa’s management in his new position as chief technology officer (CTO).
“Having Francois on board will increase our competency to serve the growing composites market as well as broaden the functionality and application of our adaptive molds,” Adapa’s chairman of the board, Jens Broberg, notes.
Geuskens hopes to transform Adapa into a total solutions provider for customers that are investing in future-proof sustainable technologies. “The adaptive mold is, without a doubt, a key technology toward achieving their goal,” he says.
