Devold AMT AS evolved out of a traditional knitwear company founded as early as 1853. In the late 1980’s the company diversified into stitched multiaxial fibreglass reinforcements initially supplying a shipyard making naval vessels. In 1992 Devold AMT AS was launched as a separate entity in its own right. Today, the company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hexagon Composites ASA, a company listed on the Oslo stock exchange. (Ticker: HEX)
Since its initial launch Devold AMT has expanded its market by diversifying into new segments such as wind energy, transportation, construction and leisure and commercial craft industries. Wind energy is by far the largest segment. In the same period Devold AMT has also introduced carbon fibre and hybrid reinforcements (carbon fibre/glass fibre combinations) into the market.
The headquarters for Devold AMT are located in Langevåg in Norway, where the company also has manufacturing facilities and a research, development and testing laboratory. Additional manufacturing facilities are located in Lithuania, and in the USA for servicing the North American market. Our American facilities are operated as a 50/50 joint venture with the American fibreglass producer PPG Industries Inc. providing us with an optimised setup for the supply of raw material for our manufacturing processes.
Devold AMT Non Crimp Fabric (NCF) reinforcements are produced using multiaxial weft insertion technology, allowing us to produce single and multilayer reinforcement products that can be precisely tailored to your application. By the careful selection of fiber types, layer construction and stitching parameters we can engineer fabrics that meet your challenging process and performance requirements. Over recent years the company has participated in numerous research and development projects with customers and institutes to innovate reinforcement and manufacturing processes.
As a company, Devold AMT is determined to provide the best possible solutions for both products and processes within the composite industry.
