Whatever your challenge—whether it’s camper-van roofs or intricate supercar components—our world-class expertise and precision CIJECT® machinery make us the partner of choice.

Direct Infusion: A Better Way

Many automotive manufacturers are still using pre-preg techniques in their quest to produce composite parts that are lightweight, cost-effective, and sustainable.

However, there is a better way.

For over two decades, we’ve been perfecting our RTM technology, which represents a significant advancement in the production of composite parts. This method ensures uniform resin distribution—key to achieving optimal performance and structural integrity with minimal voids.

Significantly, RTM enables a quality finish. Parts are delivered from the tool in their final state, with little or no trimming, sanding, or other finishing techniques required.

Our CIJECT® equipment facilitates faster cycle times and increased throughput without sacrificing quality, setting RTM apart as the method of choice for manufacturers aiming to boost performance, efficiency, and output.

Why Choose CIJECT Machines
for Automotive Composites Manufacturing?
