About
us
1999 In the beginning there was the material!
Enthusiasm about the material carbon and the desire to realise
our own creative ideas, which were also to be of technically
high standards, resulted in the founding of the company Becker
Carbon in 1999. The company's founder, Christian Becker,
had previously gained extensive experience in the aerospace
industry.
Already during our first year we produced components for an aerodynamic
design by Volkswagen AG, improving by twice the figures previously achieved
in wind tunnel measurements. In the same year Christer Lindholm won the
ProSuperbike championship title of motorcyclists. A modified carbon covering
made a crucial contribution to this success, improving the aerodynamics
and thus optimising the engine output characteristic.
2000 was the year we went into measurement engineering.
An alidade for an index arm measuring machine set truly new standards,
which, thanks to its low weight, was able to increase the measuring
potential by more than 60%. The first off-tool accuracy is below
0.03 mm with deflection and torsion.
Becker Carbon also picked up more points on motor sport racing tracks.
Jörg Teuchert from the Yamaha Supersport Team won the world championship.
And a Porsche GT2 came in first place in the Divinolcup championship. It
was Becker Carbon parts that made a decisive contribution to the victory,
because they improved the vehicles' aerodynamics, weight and performance.
2001 The year our mechanical engineering department
supplemented our product portfolio. Machinery components were produced
with angle tolerances of 0.002 mm. These proved themselves through
their low weight and were also a trump with their immunity to x-rays
and heat expansion.
2002 Our idea: to provide handicapped people with
more quality of life. This mindset prompted Christian Becker to design
a wheelchair based on carbon as early as the 1990s. In 1994 he received
an international designer's award for this wheelchair, which he had
developed in the name of another company. The medical equipment field
now also has a permanent place at Becker Carbon. |
