Info
EPTA was created in 1989 by the leading FRC (Fiber Reinforced Composites) Pultruders in Europe and is open for membership to all companies and organizations, wishing to participate in promoting the responsible use of Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials, and in the exchange of knowledge between members. The mission is to support the growth of the composite profiles industry by maximizing external communication efforts and having an actively contributing membership. Pultrusion is a continuous manufacturing process of linear composite profiles made of polymeric resins such as polyesters and fiber reinforcement such as glass fibers. Automated Pultrusion Production Technology facilitates today's High Quality and Low-Cost demands by the market. In 2002 the European Standard EN 13706 was published. The standard consists of three parts and specifies minimum requirements for the quality, tolerances, strength, stiffness and surface of structural profiles. It refers only to pultruded profiles for structural purposes. The standard basically divides pultruded structural profiles into two classes: E23 – having the most stringent requirements to quality E17 – having more lenient requirements to quality All members are bound by their own Quality Standards or project/product-specific approvals. Since 2006, the Association has existed under the umbrella of the AVK – Industrievereinigung Verstärkte Kunststoffe e.V. in Germany/Frankfurt. Membership is open to all participants in the sector so do no hesitate to join us !

Pultruded composites contribute to a more sustainable future for construction! Increasing energy and resource efficiency in the construction sector will be key to the EU’s ambition of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. By enabling the manufacture of strong, durable and lightweight products, composite materials can help the construction sector improve its environmental sustainability, as well as reduce total lifecycle costs.

The 17th World-Pultrusion-Conference (WPC) took place in Hamburg from 29 February to 1 March. A record number of almost 150 participants from all over the world attended the event. An international audience of experts from Europe and the USA, as well as China, India and Japan was represented. The well-filled lecture programme with a total of 25 specialist lectures was strongly characterised by the topic of sustainability. The process development of thermoplastic pultrusion and applications in wind energy, solar panels, bridge construction and the automotive industry were also discussed at length. Despite the difficult market environment, many opportunities and possibilities for the pultrusion industry were presented. The venue - the Elbkuppel of the Hotel Hafen Hamburg - provided a good atmosphere and opportunities for networking in a special setting. Stimulating discussions took place with a direct view of Hamburg harbour, and the successful event was rounded off with a gala dinner on the evening of the first day. The conference takes place every two years in a European country of importance to the pultrusion industry and is organised by AVK for the European Pultrusion Technology Association (EPTA), in cooperation with the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA).
