ONE-K

We are a spin-off of the renowned Leibniz Institute for Composite Materials at RPTU in Kaiserslautern. The founders Dr.-Ing. Marcel Bücker, Valentin Hörtdörfer and Dr. Thomas Robbert (from left to right) are experienced experts in the fields of product development, manufacturing and business development. 

The company is based on the patented CompoSpoke manufacturing technology, which enables spokes and spoked wheels made of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) to be produced particularly efficiently. The technology’s commercialization is being funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and the European Social Fund as part of a 2019-2023 EXIST research transfer. In general, the technology can be used for many applications in the production of spoked wheels. For example, it can also be applied to machine elements, wind power technology or materials handling technology.
