About us In our 25 years of experience, we have developed high standards and technical expertise in international markets. The corporate organizational model is structured for autonomy and flexibility: from production to logistics, sales and purchasing. Our team is dynamic, young, motivated, customer-oriented and diverse and we offer service in many languages.

Shipyards and Shipbuilding Honeycomb cores and sandwich panels are used in shipyards to reduce the weight of structures, fixtures and furniture, while maintaining the integrity and mechanical properties. The panels can be used in many applications: partitions, interiors, furniture, ceilings, and floor systems for engine rooms. In particular, CEL’s aluminium honeycomb and COMPOCEL AL FR*, ALUSTEP F* and ALUSTEP FN* sandwich panels obtained IMO MED Certification Mod. B and D according to FTP Code 2010.

ARAMID PAPER * Certified products must be required in advance and might have a price surcharge due to certified materials.

Railways In the railway sector, CEL COMPONENTS’ lightweight panels are used as partitions, ceilings, floors, bulkheads, tables, etc. These lightweight panels are generally composed of three layers: a core in aluminium or aramid paper honeycomb bonded with two skins either in aluminium, high pressure laminate or fibreglass. COMPOCEL SANDWICH PANELS: COMPOCEL AL COMPOCEL AL FR* Skins: aluminium. Skins: fibreglass impregnated with phenolic resin. Skins: fibreglass impregnated with phenolic resin.

According to the norm UNIEN 45545-2:2015 Aluminium Sandwich panel COMPOCEL AL FR*, ALUSTEP F* and ALUSTEP FN* obtained Class HL3 (maximum safety limit set) for R10. COMPOCEL AL FR* obteined HL3 also for R1 and R2. ALUSTEP F* and FN* obtained class HL2 for R1 and R2. The HL3 parameter ensures that the panels conform to the requirements for self-extinguishment of material, low fume toxicity and opacity. Therefore, the achievement of class HL3 permits COMPOCEL AL FR* to be used in floors, ceilings, separating walls in railcars. * Certified products must be required in advance and might have a...

Automotive Several CEL COMPONENTS’ products have applications in the automotive sector. As they absorb kinetic energy, both honeycomb cores and sandwich panels are used as shock absorbers. In particular, CEL COMPONENTS’ thick aluminium honeycomb, encapsulated in a metal box, is positioned either in the front or the back of vehicles and absorbs energy in case of a crash. SERIE ALUSTEP Skins: aluminium. ARAMID PAPER SANDWICH PANELS: Skins: fibreglass impregnated with epoxy resin. COMPOCEL AL FLOOR COMPOCEL AL FR FLOOR* Upper face chosen among different antiskid/ anti-slip coatings. Lower...

Aluminium and aramid paper honeycomb cores are also used in composite panels destined for use in the vehicle platform (e.g. the underside of the vehicle).

Cleanrooms Cleanrooms are uncontaminated areas used for scientific purposes, such as laboratories of various kinds (chemical, mechanical, optoelectronical), where airborne micro particles, environmental pollutants and microbes must be greatly reduced. CEL COMPONENTS’ sandwich panels for clean rooms are generally made of an aluminium honeycomb core bonded with two skins of high pressure laminate or aluminium; they can be painted with anti-static ESD if specifically requested. These panels are normally used in walls, doors, floors, and ceilings. COMPOCEL SANDWICH PANELS: Skins: aluminium. Skins:...

Interiors CEL COMPONENTS’ sandwich panels are highly appreciated by designers. Ultralight, with outstanding dimensional stability and available in a variety of coatings, they allow unlimited creativity in design. They have multiple applications (tables, seats, countertops, separating walls, etc.) according to the sector, from shipyards, yachts, and railways, to shops’ interiors, etc. COMPOCEL SANDWICH PANELS: COMPOCEL AL COMPOCEL AL FR* Skins: aluminium.

Stone reinforcement CEL COMPONENTS’ lightweight sandwich panels with honeycomb cores faced with various sheets of fibreglass impregnated with epoxy or phenolic resin (Alustep Series) are used to reinforce marble and semi-precious stones. By applying the panels to natural stones, the thickness of the slabs can be halved, greatly reducing the material weight and cost. This application is not only limited to marble and precious stones, but it can be also used with any natural or engineered stone or porcelain material.
