GRADEL S.à r.l.

GRADEL is a specialised engineering firm with over 50 years of history. We are highly innovative in developing automated special purpose equipment. With over 65 highly skilled and diverse employees, we mainly focus on maintenance and handling equipment for Nuclear Power Plants, Aerospace, with a full panel of Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (e.g. telescopic MPT with Automated Guidance Vehicles), as well as an own production for Sputtering Targets, casted with a unique patented process for Glass Industry. Gradel supplies Sustainable Lightweight solutions by limiting resources and primary energy for aerospace and mobility industry in general. The Gradel Robotic Additive Manufacturing is an endless fiber winding technology (carbon, glass, flax, or basalt) to produce extremely stiff parts with a gain of weight up to 70%. While traditional technologies are generally limited to symmetrical rotating parts, this new innovation allows hybrid complex 3D-structures. When the fibers of composites material are oriented according to the desired functions and the load cases, intelligent ultra-light structural components can be produced. The advantages of the process are manifold; it makes it possible to absorb forces in all directions of space by optimizing the exact quantity of used materials. The highly innovative technology is therefore both, a tool for environmental and climate protection, resource conversation and sustainability: The lightest way to build today.
