Engineering

Do you want to break through the boundaries of traditional materials? Do you perhaps have problems with the natural frequency of your structure? Is the stiffness too low or the weight too high? Do you even need X-ray transparency? Preferably paired with an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion? We know what is possible with composites and will support you from the initial evaluation, through design, layout and prototype production to the tried and tested product ready for series production.

EXPERTISE

Decades of experience in the design and process development of composite components. In-depth knowledge of materials. You name the requirements, we develop possible solutions and put them into practice.

FLEXIBILITY

You decide how we get there. Whether lean and efficient – more based on experience and product examples. Or with comprehensive design, simulation calculation, detailed design and validation tests with complete documentation. We tailor the effort to your needs.

PROFESSIONALISM AND DETAIL-ORIENTATION

We don’t offer castles in the air. We are transparent and detail-orientated from the quotation phase onwards and are committed to ensuring that you are as enthusiastic as we are when you receive the product or development service.

Our success stories

Excellence in development

We don’t just offer you the component you want. We work with you to develop the product that best meets your needs.

Your Point of Contact

Thomas Leschik

Managing Director, Connova Deutschland GmbH

Thomas Leschik leads Connova Deutschland GmbH in Klipphausen near Dresden as Managing Director and, as a mechanical engineer (TU Dresden, Diplom-Ingenieur / Dipl.-Ing., grade 1.3), drives the technical advancement of composite engineering across the Connova Group. His career began as a research assistant at the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) at TU Dresden, followed by more than a decade at CarboFibretec, latterly as Managing Director. 42 patents at various stages – publicly searchable in the German Patent and Trade Mark Office register (DEPATISNET) – together with his appointment as a reviewer for state lightweight-construction grants evidence his technical depth.

Why you benefit from his expertise:

  • Research-grounded engineering: Academic roots at ILK TU Dresden – composite development based on rigorous material science, not on rules of thumb.
  • Patents and innovation: 42 patents at various stages in fibre-composite technology – from novel filament-winding processes to intelligent lightweight structures with integrated microelectronics. All filings are publicly traceable via DEPATISNET.
  • End-to-end engineering ownership: From concept and FEM simulation through process development and tooling to serial maturity – responsible for composite programmes across the full product lifecycle.
  • Industry authority: Reviewer for state lightweight-construction grant programmes, speaker at industry symposia (e.g. the International Dresden Lightweight Engineering Symposium) and recognised expert in CFRP filament-winding technology – with academic roots at the ILK of TU Dresden.

„Lightweight construction means placing atoms in the right order – using as few as possible to meet the requirement. This principle drives every engineering decision we make.”

— Thomas Leschik, Managing Director, Connova Deutschland GmbH
