Premier Composite Technologies And Sicomin Collaborate On The Project Of The Custodian Of The Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah Bin Abd Al-Aziz For Mataf Extension

MARSEILLE, France — February 17, 2025 — Sicomin, a global producter of epoxy resins, proudly announces its role in a collaboration with Premier Composite Technologies (PCT) for the Mataf extension at the Holy Mosque of Mecca, KSA. The project incorporates extensive uses of composite materials in architecture, with the Mataf Ceiling — a structure spanning 216,800 square metres — at its core.

Composite materials were the only viable solution capable of meeting the ambitious weight and performance demands of the ceiling installation, with Sicomin epoxy systems, quadraxial stitched glass fabric and carbon reinforcements being used to create lightweight and intricately decorated soffit panels that define the Mataf Ceiling.

Installed across four levels surrounding the Mataf walkway and the sacred Kaaba, the ceiling was designed, fabricated, and installed by PCT. Each individual panel, produced in Dubai and measuring up to 12 x 3 meters, showcases Arabic mashrabiya patterns crafted from ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) and engineered stone agglomerate inlays. These panels meet strict weight requirements of 67 kg/m² while incorporating critical functionalities such as acoustic insulation, fire protection, and integrated custom LED lighting.

To meet the project’s rigorous technical requirements and ambitious timeline, Sicomin supplied its SGi 128 Bio Gelcoat and SR 1122 Fire Retardant Epoxy. Working closely with PCT, Sicomin developed a custom lower-viscosity version of the SR1122 resin, enhancing fibre wet-out and optimizing production efficiency. This development enabled PCT to achieve its output levels during peak production. Sicomin also supported extensive third-party fire testing, ensuring that the SR 1122 panels with SGi 128 Bio Gelcoat complied with the ASTM E84 Class A standard.

To meet the tight production schedule, Sicomin established a dedicated warehouse in Dubai, ensuring a flexible and reliable supply chain. This logistical capability supported PCT’s average production rate of 6,000 square meters per month, while accommodating design approvals, installation constraints, and the complexities of mold fabrication.

The Shamia Expansion, initiated in 2014 and resumed in 2020 after a temporary pause, is set for completion in Q3 2025. This phase of the project represents a major milestone in the use of composites in architecture, with additional phases and further collaborations already in development.

“We are very proud to have expanded our UAE warehousing and production capacity in France to ensure a fast and secure supply chain for PCT,” comments Ken Marcovich, CEO, Sicomin. “Our goal is to enable our customers to achieve their ambitions. By delivering Fire Resistant, GreenPoxy and Architectural systems at an industrial scale, we ensure they never encounter supply limitations.”

Hannes Waimer, CEO, Premier Composite Technologies, added: “The Mataf Extension has been a landmark project for us. The complexity of the Mataf Ceiling required a unique combination of innovative materials, precise engineering, and flawless execution. Sicomin’s support, from custom resin development to reliable material supply, has been essential in helping us meet the project’s demanding specifications and timelines.”

A section of the Mataf Ceiling manufactured by PCT will be on display on the Sicomin stand at JEC World 2025, Paris.

ZymoChem Achieves Commercial-Scale Production of Key Biopolymer Ingredient For BAYSE BioSAP 

SAN LEANDRO, Calif. — February 12, 2025 — ZymoChem, the biotech company creating sustainable materials for everyday products, announces the successful commercial-scale production of the key biopolymer ingredient used in its groundbreaking first product. This follows ZymoChem’s recent announcement of the launch of BAYSE™, the world’s first scalable, bio-based, microplastic-free, and biodegradable Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) as a drop-in replacement for traditional, fossil-based SAPs, a key component in disposable, absorbent hygiene products. By achieving production levels measured in multi-metric tons (MT) for the key biopolymer ingredient for BAYSE, and at efficiencies demonstrating commercial viability, ZymoChem is paving the way to deliver BAYSE BioSAP to customers worldwide.

ZymoChem’s proprietary fermentation-based manufacturing technology delivers ingredients with performance and cost attributes on par with conventional counterparts, while enabling the development of decarbonized solutions. Previously mastered in small-scale production, the company’s latest milestone saw the production of its biopolymer at the 45,000-liter scale.  With support of its contract manufacturing operator (CMO), ZymoChem delivered this production with metrics that surpassed lab scale performance, demonstrating the robustness of the process at the industrial level.

“Our team’s dedication to innovation and precision has enabled us to showcase biomanufacturing at scale and at unprecedented efficiencies, overcoming one of the biggest hurdles in deploying bio-based products commercially,” said Dr. Ritu Bansal-Mutalik, vice president, BioProcess Development at ZymoChem. “This success brings us closer to providing high-performance, sustainable solutions for the hygiene, agriculture, cosmetics, and water treatment industries.”

Following its successful scale-up, ZymoChem is commencing commercial runs with its CMO partners to create additional inventory to deliver on the immense demand from partners eager to deploy bio-based, high-performance solutions globally.

Nearly 90 percent of the 4 Million MT of SAP manufactured each year is directed to the $145 billion global hygiene industry as part of infant diapers and period pads. The introduction of BAYSE with its biodegradable properties will positively disrupt the trade by addressing the environmental concerns associated with the 300,000 diapers that enter landfills or are incinerated every minute. Other non-hygiene-focused industries are also ready for a non-fossil-based SAP to support their customer needs.

Surpassing vital production, commercialization, and sustainability milestones has unlocked the path to producing thousands of MT of BAYSE annually, positioning ZymoChem to revolutionize the global SAP market.

The KARL MAYER Academy: A Positive Look Back At 2024, An Optimistic Start To 2025

OBERTSHAUSEN, Germany — February 14, 2025 — KARL MAYER supports its customers not only with top products and the best service, but also with valuable specialist knowledge, and has done so for decades. The company’s own trainings for customers have been providing know-how for entry into warp knitting or business development since 1960 and are still in great demand in the industry today.

KARL MAYER Academy, Obertshausen

In 2024, there were a total of 104 courses for the warp knitting sector with 432 learners at the KARL MAYER academies in Germany, China, India, Japan and Turkey. The online offerings of the company’s own training hub are also gaining in importance. The online training platform has been available to customers in the Western Markets region since summer 2022. In December 2024, the Academy already had 564 active accounts with users from 50 countries, including many company owners and managers, as well as textile engineers, product developers and machine operators.

Sophia Krinner

“We are seeing a shift from on-site training to digital alternatives. The online courses are sufficient for many professional groups and make a trip to Obertshausen no longer necessary,” says Sophia Krinner, Product Owner Academy at KARL MAYER. She is looking forward to receiving the first registrations for the 2025 course program at the beginning of January.

Early bookers can look forward to a New Year’s special: there is a 25% discount on the “Introduction to warp knitting” e-learning course in February.

Specialist knowledge with high practical relevance

Just over half of last year’s courses corresponded to the standard program. However, there were also many special trainings in which customers specifically chose individual topics from the course program to intensify their knowledge. In addition, there was an increase in inquiries about the production of fishing nets, optimizing production processes and improving product quality. These trainings were held at the customer’s premises during ongoing production.

Working Warp Knitting Mill

Whatever format the courses took, they were always a success for the participants. The close practical relevance was particularly well received.

“I have much better view of the correlation between machine parts and product property now. I think the basic mechanism of lapping and needle motion will guide me on common quality issues in my work. And the practice I did in this training will be influencing me a lot in the future,” says Fang of Shawmut Corp., USA, about the training “Practical introduction to warp knitting”.

“What I learned will help me develop new functionalities for the company I work for. I will use it every day. My new knowledge will help me to develop new patterns and realize new design. By doing a training here you can eliminate many doubts and everything will be much clearer afterwards,” explains Valentina, American Specialized Textiles, Mexico, who had attended the same training.

“An excellent time spent learning and expanding my knowledge which I can now implement in my day-to-day job. The facilities and staff have been wonderful, and I look forward to returning to KARL MAYER to further my education with another course soon,” concludes Ashley, Baltex, United Kingdom, after attending the advanced course on warp knitting machines.

An introduction to warp knitting – already available in five languages – and various free tutorials are available in e-learning format. In 2024, the new topics “Energy Efficiency Solution” and “ Basics of Textile Analysis” were added to the range and were very well received. 117 trainees have already taken advantage of the additional offerings. This year has already started with new additions.

“In January, we published our new knowledge check for warp knitting. We want to help customers to self-assess their knowledge and make it easier for them to choose the right academy course,” explains Sophia Krinner.
