5M

5M s.r.o. is a Czech company in Kunovice that develops and makes composite and sandwich materials. It focuses on demanding uses and special products where light, strong materials bring a clear advantage. It describes its approach as smart technologies in the world of composites.

The company has been active in aviation since its start more than 20 years ago. It says aircraft makers are the most demanding customers, with strict needs for quality and control of delivered parts. Rail vehicles are a large part of its output. It specialises in interior parts for trains and trams.

5M also serves bus makers, who use light composite materials more and more. Its composites meet the R118 fire standard. In other industries, customers value composites for low weight, resistance to corrosion and chemicals, and thermal insulation.

Its product range covers adhesives, composite profiles, epoxy resins, semipregs and sandwich panels. The adhesives include epoxy adhesives, structural epoxy adhesives, ERGO adhesives and SABA upholstery adhesives. The epoxy resins come as film and liquid resins. Sandwich panels come in composite and aluminium versions. The range also includes the Silosyst and Puroxit products.

The company has its own development department, a laboratory and 3D measurement. It runs innovation projects. It also publishes a quality guarantee, a sustainability policy, a code of ethics, and its vision, strategy and values.

With support from the European Union, 5M is taking its work to markets abroad. It joins international trade fairs to show composite solutions and build partnerships. It aims to be a strong and reliable European supplier. The company also lists career openings and shares interviews with its own staff in its news.
