Bröderna Bourghardt

It all started in 1926 when our current CEO David Bourghardt's grandfather started a lace manufacteuring company to supply General Motors in Sweden. One year later Volvo was established and Bourghardt started to deliver curtain laces to the very first Volvo cars. The collaboration with Volvo continued to grow and lace-business developed into interior textiles which evolved into plastic interior parts.

Several decades later Bourghardt moved into its current focus, exterior and interior covers for heavy vehicles, industrial and SATCOM applications.

Produced impact resistant fronts, bumpers and corners for over 10 000 buses, in our special plastic Telene (DCPD). Made sure that over 5 000 satellite antennas are protected from weather with minimum data loss with our composite radomes. Created cost savings for over 6000 construction machines with our parts in Telene.

Heavy vehicle

Radome

Satellite antennas keeps us connected and updated, even in the most remote corners of the world. Radomes are covers for antennas, protecting the antenna from the mercy of the nature. The radomes are precision instrument, balancing between being strong enough to last the most harsh environments being tuned for specific radiofrequencies to have as low loss of signal as possible.

Bourghardt has for the last five years produced over 5000 radomes for different environments and in different sizes, we make radomes in the C-band up to Ka-band. Do you want to know more about radomes, how we produce them and if we can help you with covers for antenas, call us or drop us an e-mail.

Our Telene (DCPD) moulding

– Impact resistance and finish

Telene is known for its impact resistance, controllable thickness and its excellent surface finish. For large plastic parts (typically over 1m²) Bourghardt generate cost savings for our customers in a large volume sweet spot, from 300 to 10 000 parts per year.

The freedom to design comes from the moulding process, Reaction Injection Moulding (RIM) where two components are mixed in a mixing head and injected into a mould. The RIM process uses two-parted tools with one cavity and one core, most of our tools are made in aluminum, making the tool cost moderate.

Our composite production

Composites are fiber reinforced plastics, at Bourghardt we work with glass and carbon fiber together with epoxi and polyester. Composites are often light weight products, utilizing the technology of sandwich structures (a distancing material between two surfaces to build strength. We focus our composites efforts on the SATCOM industry and utilizres the flexibility of the process to mainly create prototypes for other business sectors.

SP Group

Bröderna Bourghardt was acquired by SP Group A/S in 2014, SP stands for surface and plastics and is a Danish stocklisted company which consists of a number of plastic-manufacturing companies world-wide. The technologies that are present within the group are; Reaction Injection Moulding, Injection Moulding, Vacuum forming, and several different technologies to manufacteur composite products.

Thanks to a close collaboration with our sister companies in SP Group we can guide you to selecting the most optimum production method and material for your project.
