CORIOLIS GROUP SAS

A specialist in the implementation of composite materials Coriolis Composites develops, makes and markets robotic cells for fiber placement using a standard robot enabling the laying of continuous or discontinuous fibers, in all directions and on complex geometrical surfaces.

Based around this expertise, the company has aggregated its robotic competences which enable it to offer exclusive equipment conceived and developed for the composites industry.

Coriolis Composites constitutes a strong added value partner, with a unique research capacity in its sector which yields an economic industrial solution.

THE BUSINESS

Today, in addition to its head office near Lorient (France), it has five other sites in Augsburg (Germany), Bristol (United Kingdom), Montreal (Canada), Shanghai (China) and Seattle (USA). There are also agents based in Russia, Japan, Korea, Turkey and Brazil.

Employs more than 150 collaborators, 50% of which are expert engineers in many domains, from mechanical to software, through to composites and robotics.

Has filed more than twenty patents since its creation and has positioned itself today as an expert in robotic fiber placement technology.

Aerospace today constitutes its principal market, with participation in many new programs, from Russia to Canada through to China for example. The automotive industry is also increasingly interested in the expertise of Coriolis Composites, confronted with more stringent requirements to lighten the weight of vehicles. In this context, Coriolis Composites has developed alongside the big automobile constructors, industrial solutions for composite structures.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS

The business has its own dedicated composite laboratory, the Composite Center : 1000 m², three machines (Coriolis C1, Coriolis C2 and Csolo) and a team of a dozen engineers, who are at the service of clients and their issues.

The Company bases its technological developments on standard robots: reliability, economy and client confidence for those who already know these materials.

A precursor and holder of many patents in robotized material layup, Coriolis Composites is a key player in the composites industry : Its robots are known for the implementation of thermoset and thermoplasticfibers as well as dry fibers for making RTM preforms. A specific characteristic ‘three in one’ unique in the world of composites.
