RAFALE ETS achieved 2nd place in the regattas and 3rd overall at the Foiling SuMoth Challenge on Lake Garda, with support from Gurit. The team incorporated Gurit PET foam core in the catamaran’s crossbeams and stringers, improving structural performance and weight optimization.

The race boat community is charting a new course toward sustainability, using Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) to tackle the environmental impact of high-performance yacht construction. Recent IMOCA studies show that over 75% of emissions come from materials and tooling, driving initiatives such as shared moulds, CO₂ budgets, and smarter material choices. With recyclable fibres, bio-based resins, and class rules promoting longevity, competitive sailing is proving that performance and sustainability can advance together.

Gurit has secured a multi-year contract supplying Corecell structural foam core to the subsea industry. Corecell is a market-leading, high performing core that remains unmatched in the marketplace, with a long history of success in extremely high performance and demanding applications.

Introducing the Gurit98m – our open-source model designed to help wind turbine blade materials development, design and optimization.

Gurit’s newly launched BondPro two-part epoxy adhesive range for industrial applications are being supplied to customers in MIXPAC greenLine cartridges from medmix.

Innovation has been at the heart of Gurit and its original parent-company, Heberlein, from the beginning. The Group’s first patent, Helanca, became a global success and paved the way for a future in performance materials.

A little over 25 years ago, a pioneer in sandwich construction developed an entirely new linear core that remains unmatched in the composites arena, establishing itself as the core of choice for the most demanding of applications.

As we mark key milestones in our company’s journey, we’re celebrating the people whose dedication, resilience, and leadership have helped shape who we are today. We invite you to meet some of our long term colleagues from around the world.
