LUM Industry specializes in the design and manufacture of highly precise pultrusion dies and molds for glass, carbon fiber or thermoplastic profiles.
LUM Industry (Limoges Usinage Mecanique, Boisseuil, France) has been specializing in pultrusion dies/mold manufacturing since 1990. More specifically, the company designs and manufactures steel pultrusion dies/molds for glass, carbon fiber or thermoplastic profiles. The company notes its other skills in mold design, machining, chroming and grinding on chrome.
Targeting manufacturers that develop composite profiles via pultrusion, research institutes (pultrusion, fibers) and pultrusion machinery manufacturers, LUM’s customers mainly reside in the U.S. and Europe. Overall, LUM says it is known for its technical know-how, reactivity, high-performance equipment, research for productivity and improvement and recognized quality products.
The company manufactures prototype or high-production tools from 1.969″ (50 mm) to 59.06″ (1,500 mm); dies with resin injection; offers hard chromed surface finishing (up to 1.97″); hardened steel by heating treatment; conformation of short dies; mandrels from 0-236″ (6,000 mm); fixing systems for mandrels; and preforming systems for fibers.
