From ecological design to standard plugs for electrical
cars: RAMPF presents sustainable solutions at the symposium “Innovative Suppliers 2010“
UJ – 2010-06-17
Grafenberg, 22.06.2010 – At the annual congress "Innovative suppliers 2010” in Ingolstadt which takes place on 23rd June 2010, the RAMPF Group companies, RAMPF Giessharze and RAMPF Tooling, Grafenberg put their focus on sustainable concepts for the automotive industry. As part of the accompanying exhibition at the Audi Forum, the plastic materials experts present an ecological board material for design studies and the European
standard plug for recharging electric cars from MENNEKES produced with RAMPF casting
resins at booth 103.
"The symposium is more than just a discussion forum. It offers us the opportunity to
present sustainable solutions based on polyurethanes, epoxies and silicones", says
Dr. Frank Birkelbach, responsible for international sales at RAMPF Giessharze. The
focus of the presentation which takes place on booth 103 lies on sustainability. For
this reason RAMPF Giessharze displays the European standard connector for
charging electric cars. It is manufactured for the company MENNEKES and produced with RAMPF polyurethane casting resin. Other exhibits such as brake lights
and door modules show the various applications of the brand RAKU-PUR®. The
diverse plastics are used for secure sealing, foaming, bonding, casting and shaping.
A comprehensive large-contract manufacturing service is also part of the product
portfolio. "If the customer needs more, we also offer material and equipment from a
single source. We then work together with our sister company RAMPF Dosiertechnik located in Zimmern, which specializes in low-pressure two-component mixing
systems", explains Birkelbach.
Sustainable materials for modeling
RAMPF Tooling, the world's largest manufacturer of board materials, also relies on
the team work within the RAMPF Group. Only recently, the specialist for modeling
materials introduced a new board for styling and data control models into the market. The material RAKU-TOOL® MB-0540 is manufactured using predominantly recycling polyols produced by the partner company RAMPF Ecosystems. RAMPF

Ecosystems uses polyurethane waste from within the RAMPF group, recycles it and
then re-introduces it into the production cycle.
With the development of its Close Contour Casting systems RAMPF Tooling has
already taken a step towards sustainability in the modeling and tooling market. “The
close contour materials enable for newly developed products to be shown in their
real shape within a short space of time. But that is not enough, through the close
contour shape, less waste is generated”, comments Peter Kimmerle, Sales and
Marketing Director at RAMPF Tooling. As a further highlight for the “Innovative Suppliers 2010” symposium his Peter Kimmerle’s team will be presenting various rapid
prototyping systems.
