SAERTEX® underlines innovative strength with three JEC Award finalists
Saerbeck, February 15, 2018: The JEC INNOVATION AWARD, presented at JEC WORLD, the leading trade fair for composites in Paris, is considered the most important innovation competition in the industry. SAERTEX submitted three projects, all of which made it onto the shortlist for this year's awards. The award ceremony will take place on March 7 in Paris. SAERTEX already won one of the coveted prizes in 2014 and 2017. This year, the family-owned company from the Münsterland region entered the competition with three projects, which had already prevailed against numerous competitors in the preliminary selection. In the „Rail Vehicles“ category, SAERTEX teamed up with SMT and Alan Harper to renovate the floor panels in 66 trains of Deutsche Bahn's ICE fleet with fire-resistant SAERTEX LEO® materials. In the „Marine“ category, SAERTEX LEO impressed with its design for a complete composite sun deck on a 110-meter-long river cruise ship, which was developed in collaboration with the Meyer/Neptun shipyard in Papenburg. In the "Construction & Infrastructure" category, concrete pipe renovation using Carbon SAER fix with Spanish customer GRUPO NAVEC proved to be a winning combination. In this case, SAERTEX and HENKEL are co-innovators of the project under the leadership of GRUPO NAVEC.
The JEC AWARD is presented by a top-class jury of experts at the JEC WORLD trade fair in Paris. The award recognizes the innovative strength of companies from the composites sector in a total of 10 categories.
