Leveraging our expertise in lightweight engineering to help you achieve your goals more efficiently.
Lightweight design in nature – skull bones of the Australian starling
For innovative technical solutions, we also learn from nature. This allows for reductions in weight and costs, shorter project times or better structural performance for the same weight. For individual components or for an overall project. We have extensive experience in the industries: automotive, wind energy, maritime.

»With the increasing focus on sustainability, lightweight solutions are also becoming increasingly important in ship and boat building. ar engineers supports us in meeting these requirements and maximising the potential of our products to be designed in a lightweight way. This strengthens our market position and makes our products lighter, safer and more environmentally friendly.«
Jan Henkel, Fr. Fassmer GmbH & Co. KG
Vice President Fassmer Maritime
»Thanks to the special expertise in simulation of ar engineers, we can expand our range of services as needed and thus create added value for our customers. This approach allows us to focus on our core competencies in the development and production of composite components.«
Micha von Monkiewitsch, Connova AG
Chief Executive Officer
»ar engineers did a great job in monitoring the production of some of the world’s largest offshore rotor blades. Their expertise in composites – the crucial specialist area in rotor blade production – contributed significantly to quality control and thus to the overall success of the project.«
Carl Rasmus Richardsen, Deutsche Windtechnik Offshore & Consulting GmbH
Chief Executive Officer
»ar engineers has proven itself to be our reliable partner for many years, helping to ensure that our composite materials are used in the right configuration and at the right place in components in many projects. With the knowledge of ar engineers, the important bridge between the material manufacturer and component manufacturer is thus built!«
Jan Hindahl, Saertex GmbH & Co. KG
Team Lead Application Engineering and R&D
»Thinking about lightweight engineering holistically! The realization of large structures made from fibre-reinforced plastic composites, such as wind turbine rotor blades and ship superstructures, represents a complex task. Through applied research in collaboration with our long-standing partner ar engineers, we can develop innovative and holistic solutions and help put the results into practice.«
Dr. Stefan Schmidt, Fraunhofer IGP
Team Leader Fibre-reinforced Plastics
»Sika is one of the market-leading suppliers of adhesive, damping, stiffening and reinforcement solutions and is therefore an important partner in industries such as automotive, transportation, marine or building components. ar engineers GmbH, with its extensive expertise in structural lightweight design and the implementation of bonded structures, is an ideal partner that provides us with the best possible support in the realization of innovative projects in the above-mentioned industries.«

What makes us stand out?
1. What makes us stand out?
Many years of expertise in lightweight engineering. We have been in the market for over 10 years and from day 1 we have focused on the development of lightweight structures, which is still the core of our service portfolio today. The ar engineers team combines experience and competencies from various fields such as composite boat building, vehicle & aircraft engineering, mechanical engineering and wind energy.
2. State-of-the-art tools and methods
An important pillar of our engineering approach is the use of state-of-the-art software as well as design and calculation methods. Our adept handling of the predominant simulation tools Ansys Mechanical & LS-DYNA, Altair Hypermesh & OptiStruct, as well as MSC.Patran & Nastran, enables us to master any lightweight engineering challenge with maximum software power. Our strong focus on automation & software development also enables us to find the best and fastest possible solution for each project.
3. Fast and flexible team
Product development in lightweight engineering often takes place under deadline pressure. We at ar engineers support our customers in achieving short development cycles and fast decision-making processes in this context. Therefore, we always work in close and regular contact with our customers in order to react to changes as quickly as possible and to always stay on the right path to the optimal solution.
From planning to implementation, this is how we work for you:
Our way of working – for innovative lightweight solutions.
Thanks to our comprehensive expertise in lightweight engineering, we can offer you a flexible, holistic service along the entire value chain. This starts with well thought-out concepts that use high-end engineering solutions, complemented by improved production planning to ensure that budgets, schedules and quality standards are met.
Lightweight design also always means targeted optimization of the component. To achieve this, we use a wide range of competencies and tools that cover a broad spectrum of application areas in order to achieve the maximum exploitation of lightweight design potential in accordance with your framework conditions.
Without extensive simulations, the economic development of lightweight components is barely possible. In addition to our many years of expertise in simulation, we offer you the latest methods and tools established on the market as part of our wide range of services, which we can develop further if necessary depending on your task.
Save resources more easily with us.
As an innovation leader in the field of composites engineering, we offer our customers the best possible technical solution with our expertise, so that you can achieve your goals with the lowest possible consumption of resources. Our solutions are so innovative and efficient that they can make a tangible contribution to using resources more sparingly and thus doing something to combat climate change. Since this topic is close to our hearts, our website has been designed and implemented with sustainable criteria in mind and is also hosted in a CO2-neutral manner. Details about our CO2 consumption can be found in the footer.
