RINASCLTA BIKE

Poland

As an OEM carbon fiber manufacturer, we are focusing on producing Professional level carbon bike frames (road bike, mountain bike and fat bike), carbon bike forks (road bike fork, mountain bike fork and fat bike fork), bike rims (road, mountain and fat bike rims), and carbon components (handlebar, stems, saddles and seat posts) Carbon fiber bike is different from aluminum bike cause it's 100% hand-made. Which means to customize the painting, design or geometry will be much easier than we thought. Under EN test standard, our quality control group is able to ensure the 100% pass standard before we ship our products. Sounds crazy but that's the lowest standard of carbon bike. Meanwhile, we offer 2 Years Warranty for the frame, and 1 Year Warranty for rims. And we now work in Warsaw, Poland, where we could just pack and meet our clients as fast and convenient as possible. Contact us and customize your brand will not be that difficult.
TFP TECHNOLOGY GMBH

Germany

TFP Technology GmbH is a German manufacturer of textile fibre scrims and reinforcement structures based on innovative CNC laying technology. We use state-of-the-art TFP embroidery laying machines with which we produce elements up to a size of 215 cm x 200 cm. The textile preforms and rovings are specifically produced using the Tailored Fibre Placement process. The fibres are laid in one piece and thus form a complete reinforcement structure for the fibre composite component. We can also offer "sandwich functions" by integrating heating elements and textile sensors into our preforms (application examples: Anti-icing, de-icing, sensor elements and sensor surfaces). Our technology makes it possible to produce innovative, technical textiles. We support our customers from the first idea to prototype production up to series production by our qualified personnel.
