Technology & Products
Key Products
Connova Group specializes in developing and manufacturing fiber composite components (carbon, glass, aramid fibers) and CNC milled parts. They offer end-to-end services from design to series production for demanding sectors like aviation, aerospace, automotive, defense, and industrial automation.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary expertise in filament winding and composite layup processes, combined with partnerships for 3D printed mold technology, allows for faster production of complex, high-strength components with traceability and quality control from concept to completion.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Offers end-to-end composite manufacturing from design to finished parts, integrating 3D printed molds to accelerate prototyping and production while ensuring precision, lightweighting, and cost-effectiveness for mission-critical applications.
