60 years Menzolit– anniversary of a material

Menzolit Compounds Group – one year independent compounder

In 1948 the Family Schmidt in the small village of Menzingen (Kraichgau) founded a company for the production of fibre-reinforced polyester systems, so called prepregs. Soon improvements were done to develop a solution that could be handled on a large production scale: Sheet Moulding Compound - SMC.
SMC is moulded in presses to parts similar like sheet metal. Therefore the name chosen sounds very similar. To injection mould smaller parts a new variation was invented: Bulk Moulding Compound, BMC.

60 Jahre Menzolit - Ein Werkstoff hat Geburtstag
Menzolit Compounds Group – ein Jahr reiner Halbzeughersteller

Im Jahre 1948 gründete die Familie Schmidt im kleinen Ort Menzingen im Kraichgau eine Firma zur Herstellung von Faser-verstärkten Polyestersystemen, sogenannte Prepregs. Schnell wurde nach einer Verbesserung und groß-technischen Umsetzung gesucht und die Lösung hieß: Sheet Moulding Compound  SMC.
Dieses wird im Pressverfahren zu Bauteilen verarbeitet, ähnlich wie Blech (Sheet Metal), daher der ähnlich klingende Name des Werkstoffs. Um Kleinteile im Spritzguß herzustellen, suchte man nach einer neuen Variante: Bulk Moulding Compound, das BMC (anfänglich auch als Sauerkrautmasse bekannt).

Welcome to Menzolit

The power of a market leader in SMC/BMC/CIC

From a headquarter, Menzolit Compounds operates five compounding sites – four in Europe and
one in China. Menzolit also has overseas cooperation partners. It is the largest producer of fibre reinforced composite materials in the world.

 A variety of reinforced materials for multiple purpose jobs

Fibre reinforced materials are increasingly being used in many markets because of their specific properties. They are used by leading companies in the automotive and
commercial vehicle industry, farming equipment, general engineering, electrical and electronic industry, power supply, sports and leisure industry, sanitary and building industry. They have replaced
traditional materials due to their technical and economical performance. Menzolit is the world market leader in this area of composites.

To satisfy our customers

Fibre reinforced materials made by Menzolit are tailored to the specific needs of our customer.
In answering the customer’s demands, our laboratory and engineers create individual
composite materials. The customer requirements are answered by tailor made formulations based
on polymers using functional fillers and reinforcing fibres. We develop, produce and market based on demanding International quality standards AdvancedSMC, CarbonSMC, SMC, BMC, CIC, MMC, HPC to satisfy the demands of all our customers and in this way contribute to the success of our customers.
