KraussMaffei receives the "Plastics Award" of the
automotive industry
(Munich ,
June 26, 2011) Plastics machinery manufacturer KraussMaffei was awarded first place in the
category of Media and Publications at the 2012 SPE Automotive Division Awards
at the weekend. The "Internationale Gesellschaft für Kunststofftechnik
e.V. / Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE)", which presents the award every
18 months, recognized the product brochure titled "Fiber composite
solutions - for high-tech lightweight components".
Broad spectrum of
expertise explained comprehensively
The jury based its decision on
the fact that the company’s exemplary presentation of its uniquely broad
spectrum of expertise in the automated production of fiber composite
lightweight components according to customer specifications for component
design and volume. The brochure, said the jury, not only provides a
well-structured overview of the various types of technology but also
illustrates the production processes and the applications of fiber composites through the use of graphics and images.
In the opinion of the jurors, the bold idea of keeping one's own products and
machines in the background while focusing attention on components and know-how
works very well in this medium.
Focus on customer sectors
In addition to the use of fiber composites in the automotive
sector, the medium also focuses on the areas of boat construction, utility
vehicles, agricultural machinery, rail transport, logistics, aircraft
construction, wind power and the production of sports equipment. All

plastics are explained by product illustrations, allowing customers from any
