About R&G Faserverbundwerkstoffe GmbH

R&G Faserverbundwerkstoffe GmbH, headquartered in Waldenbuch, Germany, is one of the leading suppliers of thermoset matrix systems and reinforcing fibers for high-performance fiber composites. The company develops and markets a diverse portfolio that includes, in particular, epoxy resin systems, hardeners, gel coats, and glass, aramid, and carbon fibers.

R&G was founded in 1980 by Andreas Rudolph and Michael Groß; the company has operated as a GmbH since 1987. From the very beginning, supplying selected materials for sports equipment manufacturing has been a key focus of the business.

Today, the company employs approximately 40 full-time staff members in Germany.

A key factor in the company’s success is its extensive warehouse, which enables very short delivery times—often within 24 hours. Numerous products are tested and certified by organizations such as Germanischer Lloyd, the German Federal Aviation Authority, TÜV, and Cytox.

 

The product portfolio focuses on precisely formulated resin-hardener systems as well as high-quality reinforcing materials made from glass, aramid, and carbon fibers. The range also includes additives, release agents, and processing equipment.

In addition to the product range, application-specific consulting is a central component of the service offering. Customers receive support in material- and process-specific design—from selecting suitable fiber systems to optimizing laminate structures and curing cycles.

With over four decades of experience and a consistent focus on material performance and process reliability, R&G positions itself as a competent partner for demanding fiber composite applications in the technical sector.
