Lamilux wins Trailer Award 2025 with gelcoat technology

The Trailer Award 2025 was presented by an independent jury consisting of 14 trade journalists and representatives of renowned magazines in the commercial vehicle industry. The Lamilux Sunsation gelcoat hard coating is characterized by outstanding UV resistance and color brilliance, setting new standards in exterior cladding. Vehicles equipped with Lamilux Sunsation retain their color brilliance for many years, even when exposed to intense sunlight and extreme weather conditions. This significantly minimizes colour changes and enables a long-lasting attractive appearance. The extremely resistant surface of Lamilux Sunsation protects commercial vehicles and buses from the effects of weather, scratches and wear and tear. This leads to a significant reduction in maintenance and repair costs, which is particularly beneficial in the commercial vehicle industry, where vehicles are often used in harsh conditions. The durability of the material ensures less downtime and reduces long-term operating costs. Thanks to the low weight of Lamilux Sunsation compared to traditional materials, the overall vehicle load is reduced. This results in lower fuel consumption, better energy efficiency and higher payload capacity - key benefits in the transportation and logistics industry, where efficiency and economy are key.

Lamilux Sunsation is available in a range of colors, textures and thicknesses and can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements. Lamilux Sunsation is now also available with a visually appealing metallic effect. The easy handling and processing of the material facilitates integration into existing production processes and reduces installation times. "This award not only underlines the innovative strength of Lamilux, but also our focus on developing state-of-the-art and efficient solutions for the commercial vehicle and bus industry," says Sascha Oswald - Product and New Business Development Manager at Lamilux Composites. "Our products offer real added value by reducing our customers' total cost of ownership while ensuring the long-term visual quality of the vehicles." The International Trailer Award is presented annually and is one of the most important awards in the commercial vehicle industry. The award ceremony took place during the IAA-Transportation in Hanover. With this award, Lamilux Composites strengthens its position as market leader in the field of high-quality composite materials.
