Advanced fiber coating technology company FibreCoat GmbH (Aachen, Germany) announces a distribution partnership with Full-Case, which will be the first distributor for FibreCoat products in China. This collaboration marks a step in making the company’s fibers more accessible to Chinese industries, enhancing performance in applications such as electromagnetic (EMI) shielding, thermal management and lightweight composites.
At the core of the partnership is AluCoat, FibreCoat’s aluminum-coated basalt fibers that combine the natural strength of basalt with the conductivity of aluminum. To ensure high-quality production and a reliable global supply, FibreCoat produces its AluCoat fibers at its facility in Georgia, which profits from the existing trade agreement with China.
With this agreement, Chinese customers are able to source FibreCoat materials directly through Full-Case, ensuring local availability and streamlined logistics.
The partnership was facilitated with the support of AMAC GmbH (Aachen, Germany) and industry expert Michael Effing, whose network and experience in the composite materials sector has been invaluable in bringing this collaboration to life.
“We are broadening our footprint in the Chinese market with Full-Case as our trusted distributor,” says Robert Brüll, CEO of FibreCoat. “China represents a major opportunity for FibreCoat, particularly in key industries such as electric vehicles and construction. With Full-Case’s expertise and strong local presence, we are confident in our ability to deliver high-quality solutions that meet the growing demand for lightweight, high-performance materials in these sectors.”
Full-Case will immediately begin offering FibreCoat’s product portfolio, ensuring local availability and providing enhanced service and support for customers in China.
