ATL Composites will exhibit with joint venture partners M.u.H. von der Linden GmbH based in Wesel as vdL Composites GmbH at the 37th METSTRADE Show, running 18 to 20 November 2025 in Amsterdam.
Known as the "one-stop-shop" and meeting place for the global leisure marine industry, METSTRADE is the world's largest B2B marine event. This year, METS as it's known, will showcase 1,600+ exhibiting companies and fill all 13 Halls of the Rai for the first time.
For 13 years ATL Composites and M.u.H. von der Linden have exhibited as vdL Composites GmbH and have worked together to supply customers across Europe in a range of different industries.
At METS 2025 they will present the DuFLEX, DuraKore and Featherlight composite panel range which are lightweight construction solutions relied upon by Europe's leading boat builders, architects, builders and commercial designers.
Also on show will be the COOSA panel system - fibreglass-reinforced polyurethane foam panels suitable for boat and caravan construction. COOSA can be easily machined like plywood and can be used for structural parts that need to be bolted or screwed, such as decks and transoms. It is a high-density core that doesn't rot or compress, and you can bolt right through it.
With superior rigidity, at a fraction of the weight of plywood, depending on the location, it doesn't need to be laminated to seal the underneath or top. It can simply be taped into position, saving on time as well as making the job easier.
ATL Composites Australia and vdL Composites in Germany have also incorporated DuFLEX Coosa-cored panels into the DuFLEX Composite Panel range to offer customers a choice of pre-laminated panels, through to CNC-routed kits, for specific applications like stringers in marine applications and flooring in transportation projects. The CNC Kits reduce waste and labour in these projects.
ATL Composites Director, Lorraine Duckworth, is looking forward to attending METS 2025 to meet with customers and experience the show's full spectrum of new marine technology and materials.
"METS is, and has always been, an important event for us each year," stated Lorraine. "We are always impressed by the innovative products on show and the level of ingenuity of exhibitors to create and produce problem solving solutions for the marine industry."
Helge von der Linden General Manager of MuH von der Linden GmbH and also partner in vdL Composites GmbH added, "Since 1995, we have exhibited at METS as M.u.H. von der Linden GmbH, visiting the show to meet existing clients and introduce our products to new customers," he said.
"Every year, we enjoy seeing the innovative products and meeting our customers to catch up on their projects and present solutions that bring their visions to life."
The vdL Composites stand will be located in hall 11 stand 11.410.
