AeroCat:
Full polymer catering trolleyTogether with the AeroCat alliance - Promolding innovated the aluminum airline catering trolley to an EASA and ETSO certified full polymer trolley. The TIGRIS trolley provides a substantial contribution to a greener, healthier and safer airline environment as a whole and airline catering logistics more in specific.Read moreVERSAFLEX Flexible floor system
The Versaflex floor system is being used in office buildings and airport terminals but is also very popular for usage in showrooms of car dealers. The tiles are capable of carrying much weight and can be replaced quickly and easliy but the best feature is it's durability.Read moreTIGERFIX Glue and cartridge for Tiger Products
There were already several glue solutions for (bathroom) accessories however none of these matched the criteria of Tiger concerning easiness, clean usage, quick utalization (1 hour max.), invisible removing and a long shelf life (2 years). The choice to work closely with Promolding was made because of the high standards and professionalism within Promolding.Read moreSPICE:
Space Innovative Catering EquipmentSince the first generation great passenger ariplanes were introduced in the late 60’s, the galley was constructed around the cateringtrolley. Several airlines asked AIRBUS to take the initiative to develop a new universel system to save space and weight. This research project SPICE (SPace Innovative Catering Equipment) is based on a modulair box system together with FoldingSevice Carts. Promolding developed the modulair box system.Read moreSOLVAY: Sterilisation tray of PPSU
The standards and requirements for hygiene in hospitals and certainly for operation rooms need te match to the highest quality standards possible. Before an operation starts, a sterilized tray with surgical instruments is being prepared. Solvay Specialty Polymers. located in the U.S. has asked Promolding to design sterilisation cases and trays using "Radel" polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) instead of stainless steel or aluminium.Read moreBABYBLOOM Worlds first child and parent friendly incubator
For BabyBloom Healthcare Promolding provided the mechanical development of an incubator which reduces light and sound dramatically, which is comfortable to work at and easily fits over the mother’s bed. The demands towards safety, rules and regulations, hygiene and user-friendliness were high. Promolding has industrialized the BabyBloom from rough idea to a working product. Several partners from our common network have been involved with their specific expertise (Climate system, electronics and visual design).Read more

Project REMADYL
A new technique to remove hazardous substances from PVC. PVC is one of the most widely used polymers in the world thanks to its versatile properties: light, strong, fire resistant, excellently insulating and low gas permeability. Furthermore, PVC products are durable; their life-span can range from 30 to even 100 years in the case of … ContinuedRead moreProject FLOIM
Novel manufacturing chains for high quality integrated optical devices. Miniaturized, optoelectronic devices are nowadays used in an increasing number of applications, but their manufacturing processes are under pressure to reduce their costs and increase flexibility. The production of optoelectronic devices is a time-consuming process and consists of multiple steps, such as manufacturing, pretreatment, positioning, alignment, … ContinuedRead moreSONORUS
