Lamera AB, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, develops, manufactures, and markets materials and components using a patented micro-sandwich technique. The company spun off from Chalmers University and its origins trace back to an idea from Volvo. Lamera is privately held, with investors including Midroc New Technology, Fouriertransform, Chalmers Ventures, and the Swedish Energy Agency.
The company's core business revolves around its flagship product, Hybrix™, a lightweight metal composite material. Hybrix™ is designed to replace conventional sheet metal in various industries, offering a weight reduction of up to 50% while maintaining comparable or improved performance. The material consists of metal surfaces bound together by millions of microscopic fibers, creating a hollow structure that is both strong and formable. This allows it to be shaped into complex curves, a significant advantage over other sandwich materials. Lamera's business model involves supplying both flat Hybrix™ sheets and complete, assembled components tailored to customer specifications, targeting clients who prioritize high surface quality and low weight.
Lamera serves a diverse range of markets, including automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, medical technology, construction, and railway industries. A key application for Hybrix™ is in the manufacturing of lightweight protective panels and housing for electric vehicle batteries, addressing the need for crashworthiness and high stiffness. The material's environmental impact is reportedly lower than that of stainless steel and aluminum. The company operates a production facility in Gothenburg with the capacity for large industrial quantities and utilizes Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools to design and validate reliable, cost-effective products.
