Our panel solutions represent lightweight construction perfected: lightweight, strong and efficient. Whether for cargo bodies or e-mobility concepts, they form the basis for innovative and durable transport solutions.
The combination of high load-bearing capacity and low dead weight not only reduces energy consumption, but also increases payload and design flexibility. This makes our products particularly attractive for manufacturers who value sustainability, economic efficiency and design freedom.
We deliver tailor-made solutions for the mobility of tomorrow – efficient, environmentally friendly and designed for the future.
Yes, GRP surfaces can be both sprayed and vinyl wrapped.
Sustainability is part of our DNA.
We focus on resource-efficient alternatives, already use 95% renewable energy (Scope 1 & 2), develop recyclable mono-material composite elements, and continuously increase the share of recycled materials in our products.
They are up to 70% lighter, corrosion-free and rot-resistant, low-maintenance, and offer excellent bending and compressive stiffness.
Yes. We keep TOP-lite and TOP-air GRP white in stock in the format 4,500 × 2,450 × 25 mm.
However, over 95% of our products are manufactured individually according to customer requirements.
Yes. Thanks to our extensive service facilities, we also supply elements ready to install.
Yes. The panels can be easily cut, drilled, milled, riveted or bonded.
The standard colour is white (RAL 9003). From an order quantity of 500 m², any desired RAL colour can be produced individually.
Depending on the requirements, we use hot-melt PU adhesive systems, two-component PU adhesives, or directly weld thermoplastic products together.
Yes. Our specially developed mono-material elements made of welded thermoplastics (TOP-lite PP, TOP-air PP) are 100% recyclable.
Yes. TOP-air antislip provides a durable, moisture-resistant alternative that reduces weight by approximately 50–60%, depending on the panel thickness.
The elements should be stored flat on pallets in an indoor storage area. High point loads must be avoided.
Yes, repairs are generally possible. Suitable repair instructions can be requested directly from Design Composite.
No. We specialize in the production of smart lightweight elements and supply them to the construction and vehicle industries.
No. Most projects use customer-owned profiles, and a broad selection of standard profile solutions in different thicknesses is available on the market.
19–25 mm for standard box bodies
30–40 mm for temperature-controlled box vehicles
50–80 mm for refrigerated / deep-freeze box bodies
Yes. Inserts such as wood, aluminum profiles, PVC or PET rigid foam can be integrated. Custom formats and special cut-outs are produced using our CNC machining centers.
They are suitable for side walls, roofs and self-supporting floors of truck bodies.
They are particularly lightweight, reduce resource consumption and simultaneously increase payload capacity.
The location of our company inspires the entire team every day to actively contribute to reducing environmental pollution. Surrounded by unspoiled mountains and meadows, design composite relied on state-of-the-art ecological construction methods when building its new production facility in the Salzburg region of Pinzgau.
The measures implemented have resulted in a positive energy balance and enabled the sustainable reduction of a calculated CO₂ emission equivalent of 140 tons per year.
For us, sustainability is more than a goal – it is an integral part of our corporate strategy.
Through innovative technologies, a responsible supply chain, and a clear ESG focus, we develop sustainable solutions that meet the requirements of tomorrow.
