Wind energy has transformed into a vital component of modern energy infrastructure. 🌍🔋 However, these advancements bring unique challenges, particularly in turbine design and qualification processes. In our new article Patricia Vázquez Moreno - EMBA, our carbon key account manager, explores how blade design, material specifications, and standards like IEC 61400-5:2020 and DNV-ST-0376 influence today’s turbines. Offshore blades, over 100 meters in length, must endure immense stresses and undergo rigorous testing to meet performance, durability, and safety standards. As the wind sector grows, standardization initiatives like APQP4Wind are helping streamline production, reduce costs, and accelerate time-to-market.

Want to learn more about pull-winding? 💡 Pull-winding is a continuous composite manufacturing process that combines the benefits of pultrusion and winding. It is especially suited for applications that require strong, lightweight, and durable tubular or cylindrical structures. The process allows for optimized fiber orientation, combining axial reinforcement from pultrusion with hoop reinforcement from the winding. This results in stronger, stiffer structures, particularly for components subject to torsion or internal pressure.

Sustainability and innovation go hand in hand. Our recent collaboration on pull-wound composite tubes for URBAN CANOPEE's innovative plant canopy systems is a perfect example of how composites drive greener, more efficient solutions. By replacing traditional materials with our pull-wound tubes, we’ve helped design canopies that are not only strong and durable but also significantly lighter, reducing the overall structure weight and contributing to lower transportation and installation costs.

🌸 Supporting Pinktober on Roosa Nauha/Pink Ribbon Day 🌸   Today, on October 4th, we at Exel proudly stand in solidarity with Roosa Nauha Day (Pink Ribbon Day), a key part of Pinktober, which is celebrated in various ways around the world throughout October. 🎗️ While globally Pinktober is often associated with breast cancer, here in Finland, Roosa Nauha also raises awareness and funds for all forms of cancer.   By wearing the pink ribbon today, we show our support to all individuals and families touched by cancer. Whether through donations, raising awareness, or simply wearing pink, we can all make a difference. 💗   Today our lovely Vantaa office team came together for this important cause. Join us in recognizing Pinktober and supporting the fight against cancer across the globe. Together, we are stronger!   #RoosaNauha #PinkRibbon #Pinktober #CancerAwareness #BreastCancerAwareness #SupportTheCause #TogetherWeCan #GlobalAwareness #FightCancer #composites #compositematerials

We’re excited to announce we have secured a new design patent for our antenna radomes using an innovative discontinuous technique that enables creating functional zones within the radomes. The layered design not only improves signal transmission but also strengthens the radomes structurally, with possible applications that extend far beyond telecommunications to industries like transportation, construction, and more. 🌐📶 "With our new technique, we can balance transmission demands with structural reinforcement and thermal and electrical insulation. This capacity to add discrete elements to composite profiles, of different shapes, textures, and sizes, opens up countless new manufacturing options. I encourage our customers to approach us to test ideas for their own industries", says Tiina Uotila, inventor and technical sales manager at Exel.

🌿 Fighting urban heat with pull-wound composites: The Urban Canopee story 🌿 The urban heat island effect, where cities experience significantly higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas, is a growing challenge. Traditional green spaces like parks help but require vast resources to implement. Enter URBAN CANOPEE, a French company revolutionizing the fight against urban heat with scalable canopy systems that support climbing plants, creating natural cooling oases in cities. When Urban Canopee faced production challenges, they partnered with Exel to create a stronger, more flexible pull-wound composite material for their canopies. These lightweight structures offer a resilient, easy-to-move solution to urban heat, reducing environmental impact while enhancing urban spaces. 🌳💡 This collaboration is a great example of how composites unlock product design potential and can help reshape urban environments for a greener, cooler future. #UrbanHeatIsland #GreenInfrastructure #Sustainability #UrbanCanopee #Composites #ClimateResilience #SmartCities #pullwinding #compositematerials #pultrusion #customers
