What Time Out Composite Ohg does

Time Out Composite OHG is a privately held German partnership (Offene Handelsgesellschaft) headquartered in Bornheim-Sechtem that has operated since 2000 as a specialist online distributor of composite materials, epoxy resin systems, adhesives, marine coatings, vacuum processing equipment, reinforcement fibers, core materials, and related consumables and tools. The product portfolio is anchored by SICOMIN epoxy resins, including bio-based GreenPoxy variants with 40-51% plant-based content certified to ASTM D6866, and is complemented by NAUTIX marine coatings, MAP YACHTING premium coatings, AEC Polymers structural MMA adhesives, and MIRKA sanding equipment. The company serves three primary segments: industrial lightweight construction (automotive, aerospace, marine, wind power, rail, medical technology, and construction), yacht and boat maintenance, and individual craftspeople and hobbyists working on art objects, river tables, and furniture coatings.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model through a Magento-based storefront at timeout.de, supported by social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest), email newsletters, a video tutorial library produced with Andys Werkstatt, and trade show presence at METS Trade, BOOT Düsseldorf, and JEC World. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales at EUR-denominated unit pricing inclusive of 19% VAT, with tiered volume discounts on consumables and bespoke pricing for bulk orders up to 1000L Cubitainers. The company claims more than 20,000 customers worldwide and over 15,000 completed projects, with multi-country European shipping and worldwide delivery on request, but discloses no revenue, headcount, funding, or external investors.
