Take-off with KREMPEL: Setting the course for growth in aerospace

"The quality of our aerospace products is based on over 30 years of experience with demanding projects in the area of High End Composites. This know-how is now evidenced by the DIN EN 9100 certification. As a medium-sized family business, we are now a player in the "Champions League" of industry giants," says Carsten Scherff, managing director,

responsible for production and quality at KREMPEL GmbH, "and this is important for our aim of gaining new markets in the aerospace industry." "The potential for this is mirrored in the development of aerospace technology," explains Jürgen Buchner, head of the KREMPEL Composites division, "in Germany alone, the aerospace industry reached average growth rates of eight per cent annually over the past few years. Civil aviation is a strong accelerator, not only in this country, as more and more people fly worldwide."

KREMPEL is ready for take-off with an even stronger presence in this growing market. "Our service range leaves no request unanswered. We produce prepregs, sheets and components made of carbon fibre or glass fibre reinforced plastics to suit customer requirements. One of our specialist field is complex formed 3D components with weights of 3 g to 600 kg. Furthermore, we act as a trading partner for the TEDLAR® polyvinyl-fluoride film", says KREMPEL''s sales manager for composites, Tobias Bässler. Production according to quality standards is fully anchored at KREMPEL. "We are constantly improving our quality management. This is the reason, why we have been successfully re-audited for the past 25 years according to industry specific, as well as cross sector standards," says Dr. Wolfgang Petzold, head of KREMPEL quality management. As one of the first manufacturers of structural components, KREMPEL was certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 in 1993.
