New super light panel to replace plywood

TOP-lite® GRP ultra 17 saves 200 kg per truck body kit

We specialize in providing exactly the right products for the needs of our customers, so we regularly adapt our standard assortment to meet market demands.

The demand for high payloads for distribution vehicles is rising steadily. That’s why we’ve developed an ultralight 17 mm sandwich panel that can replace the large-scale and comparatively heavy plywood panels with GRP facings.

During product development care was taken to achieve an optimum balance between weight savings and mechanical properties. The result is the lightweight TOP-lite® GRP ultra 17 panel with just 3,5 kg/m2 which can be used in the standard 17 mm profile systems. A resulting weight saving of up to 200 kg per truck body kit is therefore possible. This weight advantage, as additional payload, benefits the customer directly.

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.
