01 · The origin
How do you connect composite panels durably, strongly and fully automated to aluminium or steel profiles?
From that question, engineers set out to find a smarter, stronger and low-maintenance solution. The result is CLIME® Connect: a patented method that connects sandwich panels to aluminium or steel profiles in an innovative way — durable, strong and easy to repair.
CLIME® / IN THE FIELD
02 · Our technology
What is CLIME® Connect.
A patented method to connect composite panels to an aluminium or steel profile through thermal forming. No glue, no sealant, no screws or rivets.
Forces are transferred optimally between the profile and composite panel through a form-locked connection — resulting in a very strong and stiff structure.

CLIME® / PROFILE · CROSS SECTION
Process
Thermal forming, form-locked connection.
During the process, the aluminium or steel profile is heated and pressed into the panel under controlled pressure. The panel melts locally and forms tightly around the profile. After cooling a very strong, stiff and form-locked connection is created.
01
Heat profile
The aluminium or steel profile is brought up to temperature.
02
Press into panel
Pressed into the panel under controlled pressure.
03
Form-locked connection
Material melts locally and encloses the profile — strong, stiff and dimensionally stable after cooling.
