INVENT GmbH offers a vertical range of innovative production engineering in the field of high-performance fiber reinforced composites for space and aerospace industry, among others, from its base in Braunschweig, Germany. INVENT focuses on creating high-tech products using fibre composite materials such as carbon-fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) or glass-fibre reinforced plastics (GFRP). Furthermore, INVENT manufactures smart materials like piezoceramic patch sensors and actuators (serial production and development) or composite structures with integrated functional layers based on elastomers or other materials, allowing for manufacturing from prototypes and samples up to delicate flight hardware. Recent example of its manufacturing is a component of the ExoMars TGO currently flying around Mars, which worked as a relay station for the landing maneuver of the ESA´s mission in 2021. INVENT is certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and DIN EN 9100:2016. Furthermore, the company received the accreditation Nadcap composites as the first manufacturing facility in Germany.

In SUSTAINair, INVENT will design, develop and manufacture fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) while developing process technologies for a novel reuse of production waste. INVENT´s know-how of aeronautics sector (requirements, standards, materials, processes, among others) will be applied across the project. Additionally, INVENT will work on piezo electric sensors due to its capabilities as a series producer of piezo patch sensors and innovative joining- and separating-technologies.
