SPOGA HORSE and ILM OFFENBACH 2018: the unmissible trade fairs of September.

September opened with two very important trade fairs to which EPI team could not miss. The main events relating to two of our reference industrial sectors were, in fact, held a few days ago in Germany.

We are talking about SPOGA HORSE, the international fair dedicated to the equestrian world, and ILM OFFENBACH, a reference event in the world of luggage.
Two sectors distant but united for us by the potential of carbon fiber. This material, with its innovative features and unique performance,perfectly suits to the application in both sectors, as demonstrated by the products designed and manufactured by EPI in recent years.

Spoga Horse is one of the largest trade fairs dedicated to the equestrian world. Twice a year, Spoga Horse brings together global supply and demand for equestrian sports in Cologne to present major innovations and define industry trends.
Epi – Carbon Fiber Manufacturing team took part in this edition to present the innovations inherent to the carbon fiber saddle trees  and sports equipment.

EPI have started prototyping of saddle trees in 2015, after many years of studies and reasechs about composite materials and carbon fiber processing methods.
Our carbon fiber saddle trees are made out  using autoclave process, which guarantees the highest mechanical performance.
The result is a tree far lighter than the wooden one, with a huge weightloss but with a definitely higher resistance to drops and stresses.

The history of EPI began in 1997, the year of its foundation, as a firm specialized in consulting and construction of industrial plants and in the field of heavy metal structural work, strong of decades of previous experience of the founder in this sector.

The skills acquired over the years and the proximity both to research centers on COMPOSITE MATERIALS and to the aeronautical district have pushed the company to invest in research and development on these innovative materials, primarily the CARBON FIBER.

Today the EPI is divided into two business branches:

  • Technical services and industrial carpentry
  • Composite materials manufactory

A few years ago the EPI started its journey with COMPOSITE MATERIALS, studying its possible applications and production processes, in collaboration with CETMA, both in terms of production processes and product engineering.

The next step was the creation of a new company division dedicated to the manufacture of carbon fiber components, set up with self-construction autoclaves.
Thanks to the skills developed by EPI and the studies of the production processes used in the aeronautical field, the ILATRO project was born in 2015.
Also in the luggage sector in recent years the search for new materials is one of the main themes in terms of innovation; the carbon fiber, thanks to its versatility, high performance in terms of resistance-weight and aesthetic value, is a revolutionary and totally innovative element.

Based on this, ILATRO offers hand-made luggage items with the most advanced technologies in the field of composite materials, combining the incredible properties of CARBON FIBER with MADE IN ITALY design and style.
ILATRO suitcases, with a very low weight, allow to travel with ease and lightness, but at the same time guaranteeing strength and quality.

The ILATRO collection, made up of 3 models, is addressed to a demanding and innovative traveler, who seeks maximum functionality in his luggage, without sacrificing quality and design.

In addition to  ILATRO brand, EPI carries on the parallel activity of composite materials, addressing different market sectors as partners in the development of innovative components and objects characterized by the integration of composite materials to improve the performance of the finished product.

The main sectors of reference are in addition to the suitcases, for professional and personal use, equitation – and in general sports that require equipment with high technological content- and the furniture-design sector, where the composite materials gives a constructive and aesthetic contribute .

The constant research and experimentation that guides the company and the great versatility of carbon fiber allow the team to study and experiment with solutions for ever more diverse applications and industrial areas, totally customized according to customer needs.

Carbon fiber suitcases

CARBON FIBER SUITCASES : TRAVEL TECHNOLOGY!

Carbon fiber suitcases represent the latest innovation in the world of travel items!

In luggage field, experimenting with new materials is always a hot topic. For this reason several high-end brands are moving towards this exceptional composite.

Because of the restrictions imposed by airlines, a light (cabin) baggage is a big advantage for the traveler. Moreover, considering the stresses and the shocks that they suffer in the hold of a plane, the resistance is a fundamental characteristic,too.

How to combine these needs into one product? The answer is in the carbon fiber.

Carbon fiber is a composite material, which means that it is made up of two elements (carbon + resin) that together form a new material with much better performance.

It is in fact used in the highly technological and excellent industrial sectors (aerospace, nautical, automotive, sports, medical, etc).

Why then choose carbon fiber suitcases? The reasons are easy to understand.

RESISTANCE

The carbon fiber gives high strength to the object, superior compared to steel. Compared to those made of plastic, the carbon fiber suitcases will be more resistant and durable over time, as well as non-deformable, thus ensuring greater protection of the contents.

LIGHTNESS

Carbon fiber has an incredible weight-resistance ratio, like no other material. Each carbon fiber object maintains a remarkably low weight but at the same time is extremely strong.

In terms of weight, airlines impose hard restrictions, so having a light suitcase is a big benefit; it means traveling more comfortably, and gaining weight for personal effects.

With the carbon fiber suitcases this is possible.

QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP

The processing of carbon fiber is articulated and requires high skills and advanced machinery, moreover it is a “craft” process in which manual mastery is at the base.

The carbon fiber cases combine the most advanced technologies with the craftsmanship quality. The result will be a personalized and exclusive product, intended for a demanding and attentive consumer.

 

EPI, aware of this revolution, has experimented with the use of carbon fiber in the world of travel items.

Our company produces carbon fiber suitcases for personal and professional use, customizable in shape and size.

Our luggages are designed and produced in Italy, processed with aeronautical production methods.

The EPI team is available to its customers for the development of innovative and high quality products, starting from the design and protipation phase, based on specific structural and stylistic requirements.
