The Bodo Möller Chemie Group (Offenbach am Main, Germany) is entering a partnership with fully integrated carbon fiber manufacturer DowAksa (Gumussuyu/Istanbul, Turkey). The cooperation enables Bodo Möller Chemie to extend its product portfolio to include carbon fiber products, which will add value, especially to Bodo’s clients in high-tech sectors — railway vehicle manufactures, as well as automotive, aerospace and wind turbine industries. The fiber reinforcement will add to the company’s already existing high-performance resin offerings.
“Our partnership with DowAksa has allowed us to extend our range of innovative materials significantly, thus also consolidating our market position in promising sectors,” affirms Frank Haug, CEO of the Bodo Möller Chemie Group. “We’re convinced that this cooperative partnership will deliver a decided advantage to our clients by giving them access to premium products and comprehensive technical expertise.”
Through this strategic partnership, Bodo Möller Chemie is responding to the increasing demand for lightweight, high-performance materials, offering DowAksa solutions to clients in the EU, U.K., Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
At the heart of this collaboration are high-grade carbon fiber and carbon fiber-reinforced intermediate products like fabrics, prepregs and pultruded profiles. Incorporating DowAksa products in its portfolio means that Bodo Möller Chemie now offers its clients a combination of high-performance resins and carbon fibers for composites manufacturing from a single supplier. Clients also benefit from extensive technical support and enhanced consultation from experts. Additionally, the new partnership creates synergies, making it possible to develop custom-fit solutions for specific requirements.
