R&G Faserverbundwerkstoffe

What R&G Faserverbundwerkstoffe does

R&G Faserverbundwerkstoffe GmbH is a Waldenbuch-based specialty retailer of fibre-reinforced composite materials, operating a single e-commerce storefront (shop1.r-g.de) that ships from a German warehouse to roughly 25 European countries via its own logistics and a network of 11+ regional channel partners. The catalogue spans thermoset resins (epoxy, polyester), fibre reinforcements (carbon, glass, aramid including TeXtreme spread-tow), CFRP and GFRP semi-finished products, aramid honeycomb and PVC foam sandwich cores, carbon prepreg, silicone moulding compounds, vacuum infusion consumables, adhesives, fillers, release agents, tools and personal protective equipment. The Empacher sub-brand extends the range into dedicated composite repair materials.

The company serves a hybrid customer base — hobbyists, makers and small workshops alongside industrial manufacturers and certified enterprises in aerospace, marine/wind energy and automotive — with regulated product grades carrying Aero, GL, TÜV, Cytox and chemical-resistant certifications. Technical depth is reinforced through online Laminate and Resin Calculators, an eWiki technical reference, a Technicians Blog and annual CompoCon community events for composite model flying.

R&G is privately held and management-owned by Managing Directors Andreas Rudolph and Michael Groß, with no disclosed external investors or venture/PE ownership. Revenue is generated one-time through unit-priced online sales with tiered weight-based shipping (€4.99 up to 10 kg to €24.90 above 31.5 kg), a €20 minimum order, a €3,000 freight-free threshold, and 95% next-day delivery in Germany; climate-neutral shipping is offered through GLS Klimaprotect on EnBW green electricity. The strategic posture is that of a focused, profitable niche specialist rather than a venture-backed growth company.

Direct peers

• Carbon Mods: European e-commerce retailer focused on carbon fiber composites, fabrics, and accessories for makers and small industrial users; overlaps directly with R&G's carbon-reinforcement and accessory lines.
• US Composites: US distributor of composite resins, fabrics, and core materials, with a catalog and customer profile closely aligned to R&G's mix of industrial fabricators and hobbyist buyers.
• Modellbau Lindinger GmbH: Austrian hobbyist and model-building retailer that doubles as an R&G channel partner; broader in scope (RC models, electronics) but directly comparable on composite materials retailing into the maker community across DACH.
• Fibre Glast Developments Corp. US-based direct-to-customer distributor of composite materials, repair products, and tooling, with a comparable e-commerce catalog spanning epoxy/polyester resins, fiberglass, carbon, and accessories serving industrial and DIY customers.
• Easy Composites Ltd: UK-based specialist retailer of composite materials (resins, reinforcements, core materials, vacuum consumables) serving both industrial and hobbyist customers. Closest direct comparable to R&G in catalog breadth, e-commerce-led model, and dual B2B/B2C positioning across Europe.
• Composite Envisions: US specialty distributor of advanced composite materials (carbon, aramid, high-performance resins and prepregs) with an e-commerce model serving aerospace, motorsport, and maker segments—comparable product range and go-to-market to R&G.

Broad incumbents

• Diab Group: Global manufacturer of structural foam core materials (PVC, PET, SAN) used in sandwich composites for wind, marine, and aerospace—directly competes with R&G's sandwich/PVC foam offering as both supplier and competitor at the application level.
• Hexcel Corporation: US-listed global manufacturer of advanced composites including carbon fiber, prepregs, honeycombs, and resins primarily for aerospace and wind energy. A direct upstream supplier to R&G and a much larger competitor in any aerospace/aero-grade prepreg bid.
• Composites One LLC: North America's largest composites distributor, supplying resins, reinforcements, core materials, and consumables to industrial fabricators. Comparable distribution role but at dramatically larger scale and with a US-centric footprint.
• Gurit Holding AG: Swiss-listed global supplier of composite materials, core kits (PVC/PMI foam, balsa), and engineered kits serving wind energy, marine, automotive, and aerospace. Overlaps with R&G in sandwich cores and resins but operates at vastly larger scale with proprietary formulations.
