KUZ is a partner in the new ZIM innovation network SFK

The new ZIM innovation network StreckFaserKunststoff (SFK) held its kick-off meeting at the KUZ on June 18. After the welcome and introduction of the network partners, there was a short program with presentations. After the joint lunch and networking break, the program included an exciting tour of the KUZ's technical facilities.

The aim of the network is to develop new processing methods for pre-stressed fibers. One possibility is the substitution of thermosets with recyclable thermoplastics. In addition, lightweight construction is combined with a more sustainable design of the process chains and the optimization of material cycles.

Participation desired

The ZIM innovation network StreckFaserKunststoff consists of a large number of industrial partners and research institutions that contribute a wide range of technological expertise. Interested small and medium-sized companies are cordially invited to join the network and benefit from a wide range of innovative cooperation projects.

The ZIM innovation network is funded by the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and coordinated by FGMD GmbH.
