For more than 50 years, Diab has been one of world's largest manufacturers of structural core materials, specializing in the sandwich concept. For marine uses, the sandwich approach offers lightweight and high-strength characteristics, a low electro-magnetic signature and high resistance to shock loads. The wind energy market is using sandwich technology for the blades, as well as the housings and spinners. The DIAB sandwich concept is one of the best ways to reduce weight in trains, trams, buses and trucks. The sandwich cores provide excellent sound and thermal insulation properties, resulting in lower energy consumption. Architects, civil engineers and designers are using sandwich composites for applications where a high strength, lightweight and durable solution are required. DIAB core materials are used extensively by the aerospace industry for both structural and non-structural applications. DIAB is headquartered in Desoto, Texas.
