Pohlttec Metallfoam GmbH
pohltec metalfoam GmbH develops and manufactures unique single-material aluminum foam sandwich panels (AFS) for use in lightweight construction, architecture, machinery, and design.
About
pohltec metalfoam GmbH is a German company specializing in the development and production of AFS (Aluminium Foam Sandwich) panels, the world's only single-material aluminum sandwich system with a foamed aluminum core and metallic cover layers, fused without adhesives. The panels offer high rigidity, low weight, energy absorption, excellent acoustic and thermal insulation, corrosion and fire resistance, and are fully recyclable. The company aims to integrate this innovative material in a wide range of applications, including architecture, design, general engineering, transportation, shipbuilding, aerospace, consumer goods, sports equipment, building technology, and security or protective structures. pohltec metalfoam also provides engineering services to support customers in adapting AFS technology for their use-cases and offers bespoke solutions for technical challenges involving advanced aluminum materials.
