We constantly push the limit for what is
possible.
Our products can be found in space, on the bottom of the ocean and anywhere in between. Your needs and requirements decide how we use available materials and what solutions we offer.
The Elitkomposit development department thrives on challenges. As specialists in composite production, with focus on glass and carbon fiber based architecture, we have helped many companies and organizations to get past the limits of conventional materials. This gives our customers advantages when competing in their market, and opens the door for new technical advancements. As a complete supplier, we can offer engineering and development services for both small and big projects.
Composite manufacturer and developer.
We mainly manufacture products in epoxy based composites, predominantly reinforced by glass or carbon fibre, but also kevlar and other synthetic fiber. With refined production methods we are able to ensure a high and stable level of quality. With an effective and project focused organization, we have become a trusted partner for demanding customers in, among others, the space industry, the defence industry and medical industry.
Elit Composite has a unique broad experience of delivering to different industries with different needs. But the common denominator is always demanding products for demanding customers. The smallest details weigh 0.14 grams and the largest closer to 2.7 tonnes. But they are both complex structures designed to meet very specific requirements. We’ll solve it!
Always at the forefront
Elit Composite is located in Uddevalla in the historic shipyards area. The old interior decoration with its 6300 m2 is now home to 34 dedicated employees and all the equipment required to manufacture truly sophisticated composites. Despite our modest size, together with a few other companies in Europe, we are in the exclusive range delivering groundbreaking solutions to space and defense industries.
In Trollhättan is our wholly owned subsidiary, the tool manufacturer Hagman Prototype. Where Toolmaking and all cutting finishing takes place. Biggest machine can handle 3.6 x 2.6 x 1.2 meters 5-axis. There are also four modern Negri Bossi injection molds in which we develop production technology for thermoplastic composites.
Product Examples
Below a small selection of products that we have manufactured for both Swedish and
international customers.
Wheelchair Panthera X
Elitkomposit manufactures the composite to the world’s lightest wheelchair. With its 2.1kg lift weight (ie without wheels) it is half as heavy as the closest competitor. The chair is made of prepreged high-carb type carbon fiber in stand-alone metal tools. Consolidation pressures are obtained from internal molded latex blisters (BIM, Bladder Inflation Molding). Elitkomposit has developed the curing process with the integrated thermoplastic layer and helped Panthera with product development. Over 4000 chairs are produced.
Mammography object board Philips Healthcare
Elitkomposit is the serial supplier of object board for low dose mammography to Philips Healtcare. The demands on purity are extreme, because there can not be artifacts larger than 10 μm in the X-ray window. Therefore, the object table is built in a cleanroom and the incoming material are X-rayed to ensure purity. Any malfunctions in the material may be stamped and replaced with approved material. Elitkomposit has manufactured over 1000 item boards.
