kringlan composites AG, located in Otelfingen near Zurich, Switzerland, is a young spin-off of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). Using new technologies for manufacturing of fibre reinforced thermoplastics, kringlan targets its goal to reduce weight, improve properties and at the same time dramatically reduce the manufacturing costs of composite parts.

Main goal is the development of an automotive wheel completely made of thermoplastic composites, thereby not only improving the car’s performance, but also reducing fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission.

Furthermore, kringlan is pursuing several other projects in the field of mechanical engineering, sports and leisure.
