Amorim Cork Composites
Amorim Cork Composites, a member of the Amorim Group, has been the leading company on innovative applications using cork, and a world leader on cork products.
The main markets are in B2B in sectors like building, wood, automotive, transportation, shoe, upholstery, naval and special niche markets like aerospace, special containers, friction elements, etc.
Amorim Cork Composites produces three kinds of semi-finished products: granules, blocks/cylinders and sheets. The cork granules are separated according to density and size and are controlled by SPC methods. The production of the blocks or cylinders can be by agglomeration or vulcanization, using different polymers, according to the specified properties for the final use.
These materials are applied in segments such as aerospace, aeronautics, composites and construction as a natural acoustic and thermal barrier.
In some cases, the company produces final products, ready to be used (gaskets, vibration pads, etc).
All new applications and processes of cork are study and initiated inside the company by a research team and dedicated laboratory.
