Design Composite – Your specialist for lightweight panels

Since 1999, we have been sustainably manufacturing high-quality lightweight components in the heart of Austria for customers around the world. Continuous product development and innovative solutions make Design Composite a competent partner for highly stable lightweight panels for vehicle construction and industrial applications, as well as translucent light-weight panels for architecture.

At the same time, our acoustic panels deliver outstanding room acoustics, are easy to process and, thanks to their translucent construction, open up entirely new possibilities in interior design.

Sustainability & ESG – Innovation for a Future-Ready Economy

Sustainability & ESG

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.
