The Ilmberger name stands for the highest quality and innovation in carbon manufacturing. Every part is produced in our own facility, where we rely on prepreg, specially developed for Ilmberger, as the base material. This is processed in a complex procedure in an autoclave, offering numerous advantages.

Prepreg, a pre-impregnated carbon fabric, is characterised by an even resin distribution with a high fibre volume content. This leads to maximum strength and increases the flexibility of the componente. Processing in an autoclave, a high-pressure oven that operates under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, ensures perfect, uniform curing and a flawless surface. This method prevents air inclusions in the material and ensures consistently high quality of the parts.

Our carbon parts are laminated by hand with great experience and care, allowing for consistent fibre alignment without distortion. After curing in the autoclave, the edges of the parts are precisely cut by robot to ensure a perfect fit and the highest quality.

A globally unique step in Ilmberger's production is the complete plastic powder coating of all carbon parts. This coating not only protects the parts from environmental influences but also gives them an incomparable depth effect. No other carbon manufacturer offers this type of sealing, which prevents the ageing of the parts and significantly extends their service life. Further information on plastic powder coating can be found here.

The final clear coat on this component is high-gloss and provides a perfect, smooth surface that further accentuates the luxurious, sporty look of our carbon parts. Every part that leaves our production is a masterpiece of engineering and design, meeting the highest standards.

Ilmberger is not only a leading manufacturer of carbon parts for the aftermarket but also a recognised OEM producer for renowned manufacturers such as Ducati and BMW. Among other things, we manufacture parts for BMW in the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) and for the BMW factory team in the Endurance World Championship (EWC), where our parts are regularly tested under the toughest conditions.

The expertise gained from this flows into each of our products, thus improving every single component.
