Our Company
Since 2005, 4a manufacturing in Traboch has been developing and producing MILLIFOAM® thin rigid foam boards and CIMERA® sandwich composite materials. Our customers operate worldwide across industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, radar technology, and telecommunications.
In the field of radomes, we are a trusted competence partner for sandwich solutions covering frequencies from below 10 GHz up to 300 GHz. Our services range from validated simulation and rapid prototyping to full-scale in-house serial production.
In the field of acoustics, we have been manufacturing CIMERA® microsandwich diaphragms for speakers used in smartphones, tablets, and laptops since 2005. These diaphragms deliver enhanced acoustic performance through high stiffness, lower moving mass, and significantly greater damping compared to monolithic diaphragm designs.
Through close collaboration between our customers, sales team, and R&D experts, we develop tailor-made solutions to meet individual customer requirements.
As part of the 4a group, we share a common guiding principle: IN PHYSICS WE TRUST. And we embrace a mindset that is especially important for this role: Think like our customer.
