Specializing in the design, engineering and manufacture of CFRP structural elements for high loads.

Carbo-Link was founded in Switzerland in 2000 as a commercial spin-off from EMPA, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology. Carbo-Link’s management has pioneered load transfer technologies for structural CFRP solutions since 1993. The development of this technology laid the foundation for Carbo-Link’s product portfolio. 

Carbo-Link is an engineering and manufacturing organisation deeply rooted in material science and innovative technologies. Our purpose is the development, licensing, production and sale of CFRP structural components across multiple industries: aerospace, infrastructure, industry and marine. To that end, Carbo-Link has been AS9100D Aerospace & Defence Certified since 2016. 

Carbo-Link’s mission is to contribute to increased structural efficiency & sustainability of global infrastructure through long-lasting, reliable & cost-effective CFRP solutions. We focus on new developments and the rehabilitation of existing structures. Across both sectors, our CFRP solutions underpin improved sustainability of entire superstructures through longevity and optimum behavioural characteristics. 

Over 20+ years, Carbo-Link has become one of the world's pioneering companies in the innovation and integration of CFRP structural components, from the crane industry's first CFRP pendants to Liebherr in 2003 through to the award-winning Stadtbahnbrucke (Deutscher Ingenieurbaupreis 2022), the world's first railway bridge fully supported by CFRP cables.
