1st February 2012, Isle of Wight, UK: Gurit, a leading global supplier of composite materials, engineering and technical solutions to the wind energy, transportation, tooling, marine and engineered structures markets will be exhibiting at the forthcoming Motorsport ExpoTech, Modena Fiere, Italy, on the Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd February 2012, on stand G10, Hall A.
Gurit, a leading manufacturer of carbon fibre based Class A composite body panels for the automotive industry, has been supplying leading Automotive OEMs since 2007, from its Automotive composite parts production facility based in Newport (Isle of Wight, UK). Originally established to supply Aston Martin with carbon fibre panels for the Aston Martin DBS, the strength of Gurit’s technology combined with the sustained performance of the facility were key factors in Gurit securing further OEM programmes in 2010 and 2011. This has driven further expansion of Gurit’s engineering and design capacity, with another 5 CATIA design seats being added in 2011. Gurit has also been developing its management systems and in 2011 secured Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance approval for ISO / TS 16949:2009, solidifying Gurit’s position as a leading Tier 1 Automotive manufacturing facility.
The development of innovative technology is the defining strength of Gurit and is enabled by the unique understanding of composite materials, structural design and materials processing. This knowledge base provides the capability to formulate, design, prototype and manufacture fully assembled, primed and coloured exterior body panels.
Staff will be available at the show to discuss Gurit’s capabilities, including Gurit’s Business Development Representative for Automotive in Italy, Mr Marco Pistillo.
