Reinforced concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world. It is has high compressive and tensile strength, so is great for load bearing and for construction in places where vibration, high winds or earthquake might be problematic for other materials. It comes with one big weakness though – the steel […]
This month we bid a fond farewell to one of Pultrex’s longstanding team members and give a warm welcome to a new member of staff. Mick Welham, Manufacturing Director at Pultrex is retiring. Mick has been part of the Pultrex team for many years and has played an active part in developing and growing the […]
Here in the UK the weather may be cold and grey, but we are looking ahead to the Summer with renewed optimism. Not just for warmer weather, but in the hope that we will once again be able to travel, meet contacts old and new and share our passion for all things pultrusion! If things […]
What a turbulent year it has been for us all. While we know many continue to struggle with the uncertainties of 2020 and beyond, we believe that it is a poignant time to reflect on the positives of the year and look towards a brighter future. Pultrex started the year with eyes set on Thermoplastic […]
The efficiency of the iPul Rebar Pultrusion Line, a Pultrex and Krauss Maffei Rebar Pultrusion Machine, is making FRP rebar an affordable option for the construction industry. Until now composite rebar has been a more costly option compared to steel alternatives, but the higher efficiency of the unique iPul Rebar Pultrusion Line means the benefits […]
The UK Government is making £160 million available to invest in renewables, with eyes firmly set on offshore wind. For energy companies, engineers and architects this is a pivotal moment to make a big impact on low carbon electricity generation, from the design of pultruded carbon fibre composite spar caps to the use of composite […]
If you want to leave an architectural legacy, you need longevity. We take a look at how Fibre Reinforced Rebar is a smart choice for projects where long lasting quality matters. Millau Viaduct, Hoover Dam, Dubai Creek Harbour… just a few iconic concrete structures where form and function unite. Designing a functional structure that will […]
As of March 01st 2020 Ian Raymant will become Managing Director at Pultrex, and Russell Hazelhurst, the current Financial Controller, will become Financial Director. In the new positions Ian Raymant will: step up from his current Operations Director role at Pultrex, adding an extra dimension to the post merger business links and integration with KraussMaffei. Ian’s […]
Wherever there is concrete there is rebar. Traditionally rebar is made from steel – but there are many reasons why the construction industry should be looking to pultruded composite rebars for upcoming projects: Composite rebar is lighter than steel This makes transportation to construction sites easier and more cost-effective than transporting the steel equivalent. Composite […]
Fabricators, design engineers, and architects in the UK can now order a greater range and greater quantity of standard pultruded profiles at last year’s prices from Pultrex. This is great news for manufacturers looking to place stock orders for high quality profiles without a gap in supply. UK GRP Profiles from Pultrex Increased range of profiles […]
To further the advancement of thermoplastic engineering, Pultrex is looking to work with research institutes, universities and colleges around the world. The combination of over 40 years of composite knowledge, coupled with the bright and innovative minds of a new generation of young engineers, could be the key to the next big manufacturing breakthrough in […]
Our presence at the K-Show in Dusseldorf highlighted many manufacturers that remain unaware of the advantages of choosing pultrusion over other manufacturing techniques – especially in Fenestration. Here are the top reasons why window and door manufacturers should be looking to pultruded profiles. Pultruded profiles are lightweight making them cheaper to transport and install. Which is […]
