From September 1-3, the 29th China Composites Expo grandly opened at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). Under the theme “New Domestic Heights of Thermoplastics · Green Materials · Intelligent Manufacturing”, the event gathered enterprises across the whole composite-material industrial chain. It focused on hot-thermoplastic composites, new green materials, intelligent manufacturing and other industry hot topics, exploring pathways for high-quality industrial development. Berndorf Band Group joined hands with Shanghai Naut Steel Belts Co., Ltd., showcasing complete steel-belt system solutions for double-belt-press continuous production at Booth 6Y22. The team engaged in face-to-face exchanges with industry peers to discuss technological innovations for continuous composite-material production

 

The booth of Berndorf & Shanghai Naut drew heavy foot traffic with constant streams of visiting clients. Numerous manufacturers, technical engineers and R&D specialists from the composite-materials sector visited the stand for in-depth discussions covering double-belt-press continuous forming processes, steel-belt performance, complete belt-system matching, project implementation and operation-and-maintenance services. Addressing real-world production pain points of the industry, staff presented technical strengths, application cases and local service capabilities, fostering a vibrant atmosphere for business negotiations on-site.

 

As a global supplier of steel belts and complete steel-belt system solutions, Berndorf Band Group has long specialized in double-belt-press technology, boasting profound expertise in continuous compression and continuous consolidation curing of thermoplastic composites. As the Group’s local Chinese entity, Shanghai Naut Steel Belts leverages nearly two decades of domestic manufacturing experience to realize localized technology deployment. It delivers full-chain services including steel-belt products, complete system design & installation, and after-sales maintenance, catering to continuous-production demands across aerospace, automotive, composite materials, baking, chemical, building-material and other industries.

 

Against the industry trends of thermoplastic conversion, green transition and large-scale production within composite manufacturing, the double-belt-press continuous-production process enables consistent, stable and efficient compression forming of composite materials. It improves product uniformity while cutting overall production costs, serving as a core component for large-scale mass production of thermoplastic composites. The double-belt-press continuous-production solution on display targets key application sectors including aerospace, automotive and construction industries, delivering robust technical support for quality-and-efficiency upgrading of China’s composite-material industry.

Participation in this exhibition acts not only as a platform for demonstrating technical competence but also as a vital channel for building industry connections. Rooted in the Chinese market, Berndorf Band Group and Shanghai Naut Steel Belts will keep optimizing steel-belt products and complete system solutions. By combining global-grade technologies with local-market services, the two parties will empower China’s composite-material industry to advance steadily toward new heights of green intelligent manufacturing.
