Engineering solutions for technical textiles

Technical textiles and composites for all requirements

As a producer and developer of technical textiles and composites, we are constantly asking ourselves the question: “How can we create new materials by combining different existing materials?”

All our activities are geared towards creating technical problem solutions for our customers' requirements by adding individual product properties that far exceed the capabilities of the starting materials.

As one of the leading companies in the field of technical lamination, we process a wide variety of materials such as textiles, films, plastic sheets, aluminium, foams or paper up to a width of 3.20 m.

Automotive

As a long-standing partner of the automotive industry, K.L. manufactures safety-critical components, high-quality surface materials for sophisticated interior design as well as functional composite materials for visible and invisible areas.

Personal Care

Customers in the hygiene industry are demanding partners. Our technology and material know-how allows us to create very soft, air-permeable composite materials with high elasticity and strength. We manufacture these innovative laminates from nonwovens and films in a resource-saving and emission-free way.

Materials

In order to manufacture high-quality products, we manufacture application-specific solutions from a wide variety of different materials.

For these customer-oriented developments, K.L. has an extensive modular system of films, nonwovens, coating materials, membranes, papers, foams, knitted fabrics and woven fabrics as well as various types of sheet material available. Thermoplastic and reactive adhesive groups, elastomers, butyls and bitumen with different application techniques enable the long-term stable multi-material construction methods of the future.

With smart problem solutions based on textile, chemical and engineering knowledge, the team at K.L. is able to specifically improve and expand the material effects.

Processes

K.L. has state-of-the-art laminating and coating systems with an annual production capacity of more than 90 million m².

We use this machinery to produce open coatings as well as single and multi-layer composites. Materials with a width of up to 3200 mm can be processed.

At the downstream stages of the value chain, we are happy to offer you further finishing steps such as the cutting of narrow rolls, punching of individual parts, packaging of short lengths and individual parts or other surface treatments such as perforation or printing.

Laboratory

K.L. has a laboratory facility that can reproduce all different types of connections on a small scale up to a width of 45 cm. There is also a fully equipped physical/technical testing laboratory that makes all relevant automotive testing scopes and production-related tests possible. We are happy to make our technical centre available to our customers, as well as students and institutes for their initial product ideas.

In addition, we have our own in-house automotive prototype construction department, which enables us to quickly provide you with ready-to-install components with our decorative materials, our heating elements or our safety-critical reinforcement and airbag materials.
