About UsGurit is a global leader in the development and manufacture of advanced composite materials and solutions. We offer an unrivalled range of innovative composite materials, engineering solutions and technical support to a global customer base in our target markets Wind Energy, Transportation and Marine and selected other application areas.
Advanced composites combine the properties of different materials to create an end product that features significant performance advantages over traditional materials such as wood, steel or aluminium. Typically the arrangement is a reinforcement material such as carbon, glass or aramid fibre combined with a specially formulated resin system. Pre-impregnated composite materials – so called prepregs – are a key product specialty of Gurit and combine fibres and resin matrices as an easy-to-apply intermediate material. Additional components of our composite material solutions include structural foam products, formulated resins, adhesives and gel coats. The unparalleled combination of features such as minimal weight, maximal stability and stiffness as well as almost unlimited design properties make composites the materials of choice for a rising number of applications today and in the future.
With production sites in Switzerland, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom in Europe, large facilities in Canada and China as well as the support of engineering, sales and service subsidiaries in the United States of America, India, Australia and New Zealand, Gurit is excellently positioned to serve a truly global customer base.
The Group’s legal domicile is in Wattwil SG/Switzerland, while headquarters are in Zürich/Switzerland. The bearer shares of Gurit Holding AG are listed on SIX Swiss Exchange. |
