Ilmberger stands for the highest quality and innovation in carbon manufacturing. Each part is produced in our own production facility, using prepreg specially developed for Ilmberger as the base material. This is processed in a complex procedure in the autoclave, which offers numerous advantages.
Prepreg, a pre-impregnated carbon fabric, is characterized by uniform resin distribution and high fiber volume content, which leads to maximum strength and increased flexibility of the components. Processing in the autoclave, a high-pressure oven, ensures perfect curing and a flawless surface, prevents air inclusions, and ensures consistently high quality.
Our carbon parts are laminated by hand with a lot of experience and care, allowing for consistent fiber alignment without distortion. After curing, the edges are precisely cut by robot to ensure a perfect fit and the highest quality.
A globally unique step in Ilmberger's production is the complete plastic powder coating of all carbon parts. This protects the parts from environmental influences and gives them an incomparable depth effect. This sealing prevents the aging of the parts and significantly extends their lifespan.
The final silk matte clear coat layer ensures a perfect, smooth surface that underscores the luxurious-sporty look of our carbon parts. Each part that leaves our production is a masterpiece of technology and design.
