About UD-Automated

UD-Automated B.V. develops and produces thermoplastic UD tapes with a patented direct-melt impregnation process. The line runs continuously, is robust, and scales up to 1200 mm width while maintaining stable quality.

Our focus is on clean, reusable production and turning plastic waste into high-value tape. This supports a more sustainable industry and reduces the impact of traditional composite production.

With decades of composite experience, our team brings know-how from yachts, wind blades and automotive programs. UD-A now serves highly automated applications in sectors such as automotive, pipes, energy and hydrogen storage.

UD Automated team

Machine development

We build thermoplastic UD-A tape machines that deliver thin, high-tensile tapes with consistent quality at high speed. Our direct-melt process handles multiple polymers and fibre types, with widths from 100–1200 mm. This gives you reliable output, low scrap en smooth integration in winding, laminating en weaving lines.

  • High speed direct melt impregnation for thin, high tensile UD-A tapes with consistent quality.
  • Multiple polymers and fibres, from PP and PE to PA12 and custom carbon, in widths from 100 to 1200 mm.
  • Engineered for low scrap, fast changeovers and smooth integration in winding, laminating and weaving lines.
