Lightweighting Through Composites

Weight reduction remains central to automotive innovation — from improving fuel efficiency in traditional vehicles to extending range and performance in electric vehicles (EVs).

Cygnet Texkimp’s expertise in fibre handling and composite prepreg technology helps manufacturers replace traditional metals with carbon fibre, glass fibre, and hybrid composites that deliver:

  • High strength-to-weight ratios for improved efficiency and safety.

  • Enhanced impact and fatigue resistance for structural reliability.

  • Reduced cycle times through high-speed, automated processing.

  • Recyclable thermoplastic solutions that support a circular materials economy.
