On December 14, Teijin Group announced that its CSP company, which is engaged in the production, sales and technology research and development of lightweight composite parts, has established an Advanced Technology Center (hereinafter referred to as "ATC") in Michigan, the United States.
Since joining the Teijin Group in 2017, CSP has integrated its main glass fiber SMC sheet with Teijin’s carbon fiber and composite material technology to vigorously promote the development of lightweight and high-strength parts for electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid vehicles (HV). Development. In order to further consolidate its global position as a supplier of multi-material solutions, ATC was established to strengthen the joint development of Japanese and European R&D bases in the field of automotive composite materials.
Before the establishment of ATC, CSP has been committed to the development of lightweight honeycomb composite panels. As the start-up project of ATC, the related development work has been successfully completed. The honeycomb composite panel is a sandwich structure formed by covering a lightweight honeycomb core material with a polyurethane-enhanced glass fiber outer panel. It has the characteristics of ultra-light and high-strength. It can realize the molding of complex shapes such as deep holes and acute angles. It is also suitable for " The production of "Class A" exterior trim panels has a wide range of uses.
As a multi-material first-tier supplier, the Teijin Group will continue to improve its in-depth solution implementation capabilities from material use to component design, establish a stable global supply system, and strive to expand the sales of the automotive composite materials business to around 2030 The scale of 2 billion US dollars.
