Highest Quality from Ilmberger

Ilmberger stands for the highest quality and innovation in carbon manufacturing. Each part is produced in our own production, using prepreg specially developed for Ilmberger as the base material. This material is processed in a complex procedure in the autoclave, which offers numerous advantages.

Technical Details and Advantages

Prepreg is a pre-impregnated carbon fabric characterized by uniform resin distribution and a high fiber volume content. This leads to maximum strength and increased flexibility of the components. Processing in the autoclave, a high-pressure oven, ensures perfect, even curing and a flawless surface. This method prevents air inclusions in the material and ensures consistently high quality.

Our carbon parts are laminated by hand with a lot of experience and care, allowing for consistent fiber alignment without distortion. After curing in the autoclave, the edges of the parts are precisely cut by robots to ensure a perfect fit and highest quality.

Unique Plastic Powder Coating

A worldwide unique step in Ilmberger's production is the complete plastic powder coating of all carbon parts. This coating not only protects the parts from environmental influences but also gives them an unparalleled depth effect. No other carbon manufacturer offers this type of sealing, which prevents the aging of the parts and significantly extends their lifespan.

The final clear coat layer is satin-matt and ensures a perfect, smooth surface that further emphasizes the luxurious-sporty look of our carbon parts. Each part that leaves our production is a masterpiece of technology and design.
