Gurit customer SL Racing Ltd shares insights about the design and development process for Emma Twigg's Olympic medal-winning rowing boat. 🏅 "The focus of our design was to find a way to dramatically increase the stiffness of the centre section of the vessel in a way that was practical to implement without adding any weight." Yoan Stephant, Gurit Composite Engineer #Lightweighting #PerformanceBoats #CompositeMaterials
It’s not every day you get the opportunity to design a boat to compete against rowing’s top athletes racing in the world’s most esteemed boats. When we got the green light to design and develop SLR Advantage for Emma Twigg to race in her national and international campaign, we knew it was never going to be one round of changes to deliver a fast boat to compete against the world’s best, but with Emma as part of the design team from the start of the process, SL Racing had a direct feedback loop to adjust and refine throughout the SLR Advantage design journey. Hear from Emma what it was like to co-design and race in SLR, and read more about what went into the innovative design that has everyone talking in our article. https://lnkd.in/gnMvRknE #SLRacingNZ #Rowing #NZMade #RowingBoats

Check out Indetruck's success with PET! In collaboration with Gurit and Groupe Gazechim, Indetruck has revolutionized trailer flooring with lightweight PET composite panels—cutting vehicle weight by 33%, reducing fuel consumption, and lowering carbon emissions. 🚛 By replacing traditional wood floors with recycled PET structural foam, each trailer floor saves around 15,000 PET bottles from landfill while improving durability, insulation, and energy efficiency. ⚖️ Lighter weight = Lower fuel consumption & CO2 emissions 🕒 Longer-lasting materials = Less maintenance & waste 🖥️ Smarter design = Faster production & cost efficiency Read more at this link: https://lnkd.in/gE6zpggN #Sustainability #GreenLogistics #Innovation #Gurit #Indetruck #CompositeMaterials

Congratulations to Southern Wind Shipyard on the presentation of the SW123. We are delighted to continue our long relationship with the yard, having developed the composite structural design of the yacht, which is being built with Gurit Corecell™ structural foam core and our PRIME™ epoxy infusion system. #Marine #CompositeMaterials #SouthernWind @southernwindofficial
We’re proud to officially present our new flagship, the SW123, the largest yacht built to date by the yard. This groundbreaking project not only expands our portfolio of high-performance luxury Smart Custom yachts but also takes the concept to unprecedented levels. SW123 is a Smart Custom yacht reimagined at the highest level: responsible, sophisticated, performance-oriented, elegant, and ocean-going. "The SW123 is based on a versatile design platform that can be adapted to suit her owner’s expectations and intended usage. Whether the preference is for a long-range bluewater cruiser, regatta champion, or successful charter yacht, the SW123 can be optimized to match the design brief of the owner’s dream yacht. Following the Smart Custom philosophy, the initial platform has been created so that owners can adapt certain features to their objectives while leaving the reliable and tested base structure untouched," Andrea Micheli, Southern Wind CCO. The first unit of SW123 is already under construction, with launch scheduled for February 2027.

✅ Day 2 at JEC Today we caught up with our General Manager, Wind Energy, Daniel Dahlqvist, for a quick photo and a chat between meetings.... “Today’s busy at JEC! It’s an opportunity to meet with many people involved in wind, from suppliers to customers to other manufacturers. The market has been changing and it’s good to discuss the highs and lows at a forum like this. Our Opticore core kit design platform has especially attracted a lot of interest - blade manufacturers are always looking for that next level of optimization, and we're excited to be able to offer that.” If you haven’t dropped in to see us yet, the Gurit team would love to see you in Hall 5A, Stand K20 on the final day of the show! #CompositeMaterials #JECWorld

✅ Day 1 at JEC - Hall 5A, Stand K20 Our General Manager, Marine & Industrial, Lance Hill reports: “It’s great to be in Paris again at JEC, to get together with the rest of the composites industry. This year, sustainability is a big topic for composite manufacturers – we’re having lots of conversations about our epoxy resins with bio content and Gurit PET as a sustainably produced lightweight structural core. The Marine & Industrial team is sharing some of the latest projects using our PET, like the Indetruck trailer floors and the Genesis Products office and commercial interiors, which shows how versatile this product is. Looking forward to day 2!”
