About AEROLIFT
AEROLIFT Kunststoff- und Oberflächentechnik GmbH, based in Rodgau, manufactures decorative and functional plastic molded parts for demanding applications. Its range of services covers thermoforming (deep drawing) of complex geometries with undercuts, precise 5-axis CNC machining, screen printing with high-resolution décors and tactile textures, as well as joining technology such as bonding, ultrasonic welding, riveting and screwing. A proprietary film and back-foaming technology combines thermoformed films with particle foam to produce lightweight, durable components for drones, UAVs and autonomous flight systems. AEROLIFT supports projects from development and design through validation to series supply. For more than 30 years, the company has been a development partner and series supplier to the automotive industry; further sectors include aviation/drones, caravans, sports and fitness equipment, and consumer goods such as suitcases. Founded in 1963, the company employs more than 40 staff at its site in Rodgau near Frankfurt am Main.

Materials & Processes
Plastic Molded Parts
Base material for decorative and functional components made of thermoformable plastic.
Thermoformed Film
Forms the outer component layer in the lightweight composite and protects against environmental influences.
Particle Foam
Enables volume at low weight in the back-foaming process directly in the tool.
Stainless Steel (Insert)
Used as an insert in door sill strips with plastic frames.
Carbon (Decor)
Carbon-look décors for components such as rear spoilers and bumper trim parts.
Aluminium (Look)
Brushed aluminium look, e.g. for load edge protection.
