All areas of our lives from our clothing to communication satellites are based on materials. The higher the volume in these markets, the higher the price pressure. As a result, the best technical solutions cannot be used in mass markets. FibreCoat is changing that. By producing composite fibers at high speeds, we achieve exceptional properties at low cost.
Aluminum-coated basalt filaments already available on the market achieve the properties of full metal fibers at one-tenth of the price. This cost advantage makes highly technical applications inexpensive and entirely new products feasible for the first time.
Plastic-coated glass fibers will enable lightweight construction in most areas of mobility through improved properties at 50% lower manufacturing costs.
We are convinced that continuous progress in material sciences will sustainably improve our environment, our society and our lives. Therefore, in our pursuit of innovation, we realize sustainable, accessible and affordable materials for our planet and beyond.

Dr. Robert Brüll, holds a master's degree in mechanical engineering and an additional master's degree in economics from RWTH Aachen University. He completed his PhD on composites at RWTH Aachen University in 2019 on top of his faculty. He joined RWTH's Institute for Textile Technology in February 2014, where he became head of the Technical Fibers department with a total of 30 employees in 2018. During his career, he built up an extensive network and won various awards. Due to his extensive knowledge in project management, his business education and his experience as a manager, he takes care of the strategic and economic management of the scale-up FibreCoat as CEO since 2020.. In addition to his founding role, he is particularly committed to the visibility and relevance of advanced materials in our industry and society.
