Metawell\u00ae<\/sup> aluminium lightweight panels and components in rail vehicle construction \u2013 Lightweight, stable, versatile<\/h1>\n

Metawell\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0lightweight components made from aluminium sandwich panels are highly regarded in rail vehicle construction due to their versatility. Since the early 1990s, they have been used worldwide in high-speed trains, carriages, metros and trams.<\/p>\n

They combine low weight with high bending strength and dimensional stability, meet the highest fire safety requirements and can be used for sound insulation. With their high-grade, coatable and printable surfaces, Metawell\u00ae<\/sup> aluminium sandwich elements can be adapted to the required design. The easily formable Metawell\u00ae<\/sup> Aluflex allows the realisation of complex sandwich constructions. Furthermore complete systems can be delivered, e.g. with attachments, handles, holders, integrated heating cables\u2026<\/p>\n

Builders and designers happily rely on Metawell\u00ae<\/sup> lightweight components in railway vehicle construction \u2013 for good reason: with the lightweight aluminium sandwich panels, solutions that meet challenging technical and economic requirements can be realized for different applications.<\/p>\n<\/div>
