Impact-resistant, recyclable composites

REIN4CED produces a new breed of lightweight, impact-resistant and recyclable composites. REIN4CED leads the innovation cycle in the bicycle industry by engineering, designing and manufacturing for bike brands looking for maximum performance as well as for enhanced safety and durability.

REIN4CED’s products are broadly applicable in industries where lightweight, strength and impact resistance are key. Its patent-protected technology offers leisure, automotive and aerospace OEMs an entirely new platform for material innovation. The use of thermoplastic composite materials makes the finished products much safer and reduces CO2 emissions during production. In addition, the advantage of reduced weight remains and the production process can be automated which can make production in Europe competitive.
