Eurocarbon B.V.

Eurocarbon is founded in 1982 with the speciality to braid and weave with the ‘new’ material: carbon fibre. Hence the name Eurocarbon. Since then we have developed a plurality of products. Many of them are now in our standard programs, delivered off the shelf. To produce these products, Eurocarbon has a large selection of braiding and weaving machines to choose from. Besides the specialisation in continuous production of braids and woven tapes, we have specialized ourselves in the overbraiding technique since 1994 as a pioneer. The overbraiding technique is used to braid reinforcement fibres directly onto a mandrell, creating a preform. The benefit of this proces is an automated, cheap and repeatable process, which creates preforms ready for injection with RTM or an other infusion process. One of our overbraiding successes is the Crashcone for the Mercedes McLaren SLR. We decided to engineer and build (over)braiding installations and help equipment for any process to keep our know-how inside and to be very reactive to customer demands. This capability is also used to make normal tailor made products where high(er) degree of engineering is required. If the chemistry is right, we sell turn key overbraiding solutions for our customers. The biggest example is the 288/192 carrier overbraider delivered turn-key to National Compostes Centre NCC in Bristol. We are working closely with universities, research institutes and composite producers to keep up with the latest trends. Quality is a very important factor for Eurocarbon. Therefore we have implemented the ISO 9001 system a long time ago. Download the certificates by clicking this link.
