What Happened
Ex-Core has relaunched its global website with a simplified user experience and new features, including the Ex-Core Score. The score is designed to help potential clients quickly determine if Ex-Core's carbon-composite technology suits their engineering, production, and design needs.
- Debut of the Ex-Core Score
- Clarity on Ex-Core suitability for different uses
- Greater detail on Ex-Core advantages
- Ex-Core innovations – Detailed collaboration opportunities
Ex-Core traces its origins to a 2011 research project by Dutch supercar maker Donkervoort, which developed the expanding-foam sandwich process to achieve ultra-lightweight, high-strength carbon-fiber components. The technology was spun off into a separate company in 2022 and is now used in motorsport, supercars, aviation, and luxury yachting.
Why this matters
The Ex-Core Score helps companies quickly assess if Ex-Core's expanding-foam sandwich process suits their carbon-composite needs, simplifying adoption across industries from motorsport to medical devices.
