Composites
to each sector . “ Most of our products are components designed for final assembly across various sectors . For example , in the building and construction segment – one of our most crucial sectors – we offer different types of facade profiles for buildings , roof components and windows , along with windowsills , window and door frames , window sashes , and more . In the transportation sector , primarily for buses and trains , we produce interior and exterior panels , roof trims , interior coves , luggage compartments , and handrails , among other components .
Green technologies
“ Meanwhile , for electrical applications , we provide various types of insulators , such as hanging insulators , fuse cutouts , insulating ladders , electrical motor components , and countless more . Lastly , we are particularly active in the wind industry , supplying carbon fiber spar caps , cable trays , and different types of ladders , while also engaging in various kitting and assembly projects ,” Kim elaborates .
At the heart of Exel ’ s manufacturing process lies a strong emphasis on ecofriendly practices , which aligns with its ethos . “ Sustainability is really important to us , and we view it as a driver for new technologies . Since we specialize in composites , which in many cases have lower greenhouse gas emissions than alternative materials , we can manufacture products with reduced carbon emissions . Moreover , composites enable the development of numerous technologies that are used in green or sustainable products like wind turbine blades , which have had components made from composite materials for a long time . The large size and efficiency of today ’ s wind turbine blades would not be achievable without pultruded composite materials to make its components , such as carbon flat spar caps . This structural reinforcement was first developed by Dr John Hartley , Exel ’ s Global Head of R & D for Wind . By producing components essential to the operation of wind turbines , we contribute to the generation of green energy . Therefore , we are committed to directing more of our resources towards green technologies and collaborating with customers who rely on these sustainable components .
“ To achieve our goal of being carbon neutral by 2050 , we are collaborating extensively with our suppliers to decrease the carbon footprint of our products . Exel is looking at new and alternative raw materials to achieve this , including biobased resins and biofibers , among others ,” Kim enlightens .
