The Idea


Mr. Martin de Groot Inventor of the Sandwich System

The Project Partners

•  Project Leader •  Industrialization & Marketing

•  Project Management •  Business Development

•  Owner of the Patents •  Knowledge Provider


Ø  Foamed In-situ Thermo-formable Sandwich System (FITS Patents)

Ø  One (PEI) system in an-isotropic core and fiber-reinforced facings, ready to be formed

Ø  Significant weight savings potential Ø  Lower total system cost

Other Features: -  New design opportunities

-  thinner layers - space/comfort

-  Better safety: Superior mechanical performance & FST values

-  Non fungus, no humidity absorption

-  Environmentally friendly, easy to recycle
