Hey there,
2026 is off to a fast and exciting start! From welcoming international partners to prepping for JEC World in Paris and ramping up our hands-on training offerings, the momentum is building. Here’s a look at what’s happening at Aerontec.
CIC Visits South Africa - Collaboration in Action
January marked the official start of our 2026 supplier visit programme, with Rolf Dothagen, COO/CTO of C-i-C GmbH, joining Aerontec’s Jethro van der Molen for a series of visits across Gauteng and Cape Town.
CIC is a valued Aerontec supplier, offering high-performance prepregs designed to meet specific application needs – from concept through to final production.
These visits play a vital role in how we, as part of the Biesterfeld Group, bring global expertise into the South African market through:
- Hands-on technical support
- Application-specific discussions
- Processing and material guidance
- Accelerated development insights
If you’d like support on prepreg materials or processing challenges, reach out — we’ll connect you with the right people.
