CIKONI composites innovation

CIKONI is a specialized engineering company for innovative lightweight and fiber composite solutions.

CIKONI is a specialized engineering company for innovative lightweight construction and fiber composite solutions based in Stuttgart. We develop lightweight products and component concepts from fiber-reinforced high-performance composites (e.g. CFRP, GFRP, AFRP) or in hybrid design for our customers. To detail and validate your structural components, we use state-of-the-art design tools, forward-looking simulation methods and fiber-based FEM calculations (e.g. strength, stiffness, crash). CIKONI composites innovation – that means holistic knowledge-based engineering servicesalong the entire process chain and includes the development of application-oriented manufacturing processes and special machines, for example for cost-effective, forming preform manufacturing in medium quantities or 3D fiber winding. We advise and support your company in technology and strategy decisions in lightweight construction, your market-oriented product specification or the establishment of a fiber composite-compatible quality management. Our multiple award-winning expertise inspires customers from the automotive, aerospace, mechanical engineering and consumer goods markets. Contact us for a no-obligation discussion – your first step towards the start of a long-term successful collaboration. We look forward to your challenges.
