Scanfiber Composites A/S is a company with
many years of experience in ballistic protection.
Scanfiber develops and manufactures light weight
armour plating based on sophisticated fibre
composites. Our comprehensive competence and
experience place us among the leaders in the
business worldwide.
Since the company founding in 1996, Scanfiber has grown
to become one of the dominant and most innovative
players in the international field.
Our factory was built in 2006, and already in 2008 it was
expanded to double size. We employ a number of very
well-educated, engaged and experienced employees,
who have the competences to solve any task.
Scanfibers focus is primarily on military applications, but
civilian applications are also part of our program.
Scanfiber makes use of the latest technologies. With
up-to-date and modern production equipment and a
large stock of raw materials, Scanfiber offers flexible
production with the ability of very quick changeovers
and thus solving urgent tasks for fast deliveries.
Scanfiber sells security and our products save lives.
Therefore, we have an extremely serious attitude towards
our work. Top quality is an indispensable requirement
in all phases of production. We develop new products
ourselves, but we also offer to be sparring partners for
customers with special demands.
Confidentiality is a decisive parameter in our line of
business, and Scanfiber key personnel are classified to
NATO Secret.
Scanfiber provides for high quality products, on-time
delivery and maximum flexibility.
Scanfibers domicile
Modern Production Equipment
In a company where custom-designed solutions
play an important part, it is necessary to possess
production equipment, which is both flexible and
modern, and capable of solving all tasks.
At Scanfiber we have state-of-the-art technology at our
disposal. For instance we have invested in a customized
4000 tons high pressure press, which is the core of our
production equipment. The pressing capacity enables
Scanfiber to produce sophisticated fibre composites of
e.g. polyethylene and rubberized aramid, which requires
an exact control of the production process.
The production equipment also includes a special 5-axis
water jet cutting machine with cutting angles up to 45°.
This machine adds an extra dimension to production
flexibility and secures the ballistic properties of the
various materials through a perfect cutting by means of
the cold water jet cutting process.
For solutions at a higher level of threats, a combination of
technical ceramics and/or ballistic steel and fibre compos-
ites are used. To ensure optimum performance between
the materials, these are glued together under vacuum.
Scanfiber flexibility is emphasized by the fact that we
keep a large stock of raw materials and have a dedicated
staff, who know the importance of a quick response time
without compromising on top quality.

Scanfiber advanced fibre composites are made
of high strength fibres and thermoplastics
(matrix), which - via a heat pressing process -
are transformed into an extremely strong and
light weight ballistic protection against projectiles
and fragments.
Thus the core of our production is high performance fi-
bre based composites, e.g. fibre glass, aramid fibres or
polyethylene fibres, which in combination with high qual-
ity ceramic and/or ballistic steel provide for best available
technology.
Since our products are given only one chance to prove
their worth and have been developed to protect and save
lives, we have brought extra focus into maintaining and
increasing the quality level of our products. This is why we
only use the very best materials available on the market.
The research- and development department keeps itself
up-to-date on a continuous basis on new materials, which
are applicable for ballistic protection, and evaluation of
new materials and material combinations are continu-
ously carried out in order to find new and effective light
weight solutions.
Scanfiber always keeps lots of raw materials in stock

We are in control of top quality
In a trade where confidence is an essential factor,
Scanfiber never compromises on quality.
Scanfiber very carefully carries out continuous control
of all materials used in the production. The production
process is subject to an on-going evaluation with the aim
of optimizing both the ballistic products and processes.
Finally, prior to the ballistic products being approved and
cleared to leave the company, Scanfiber performs a very
strict end control of the products.
All parts of the processes are documented, and we offer
the customer full traceability of the products delivered.
Scanfiber documentation demonstrates that we deliver
professional products of the highest quality.
All our ballistic solutions are tested and certified accord-
ing to international standards by independent test
institutes - the most highly recognized test institutes
in Europe.
Scanfiber is certified according to ISO 9001 by Bureau
Veritas Certification.

Scanfiber performs quality control on a continuous basis of incoming raw materials
Close cooperation with customers
In the forefront of development
Scanfiber has a wide range of basic products, but
practically every product leaving the company has
been developed and manufactured in close coop-
eration with the customer.
The starting point for Scanfiber is fulfilling of customers
requirements. Scanfiber emphasizes close contact to our
customers. Through the extensive expertise and experi-
ence of our employees within high-tech ballistics, we are
able to advise and support our customers in the best way
and ensure an optimum coherence between costs and
needs. Sparring with the customer from the initial idea to
the finished product is absolutely essential.
Scanfiber is a serious and professional partner, where
confidence and security are decisive key issues. We
treat our customers’ confidential information with great
care and make sure that all information and agreements
remain between us and the customer.

The Scanfiber research- and development depart-
ment has vast experience in ballistic- and blast
impact, and always stays at the cutting edge of
the developments of new materials and keeps
abreast of the world situation, which may influ-
ence the need for new products.
The development of new products is mainly divided into
three directions:
• Customized development projects, where the projects
are typically made in cooperation between Scanfiber
and the customer.
• Internal development projects, where Scanfiber
develops new products on basis of our competences
and experiences.
• Updating of existing products, where Scanfiber im-
proves already existing and known solutions, e.g. with
regard to price, process, thickness, weight, use of new
raw materials etc.
In addition Scanfiber also performs design projects. These
are always solved in close cooperation with the customer
in order to secure correct mobility and functionality of the
end product.
Total armouring solutions for vehicles
Scanfiber offers total solutions for armouring of
vehicles by developing and manufacturing armour
plating according to customer requirements.
Today almost all ar-
moured vehicles are
equipped with spall
liners in order to stop
penetration and in
order to obtain cone
reduction in case of
penetration. Scanfiber
offers spall liner kits
for vehicles as well
as add-on armour for
existing vehicles.
Scanfibers light weight products guarantee optimum
protection of personnel and equipment. Using our light
weight protection solutions, instead of traditional steel
solutions, will reduce wear on the vehicle and fuel
consumption, while operational radius, load-carrying
capacity, and mobility are kept at level with the vehicle´s
standard properties.
Products from Scanfiber are characterized by an
extremely high quality level, which ensures the best
performance – every time.

Light weight add-on armour solutions
Scanfibers light weight protection solutions are
in particular applicable for ships and helicopters,
because the weight factor – by means of these
kinds of transportation - is of paramount impor-
tance.
With Scanfibers ballistic protection solutions it is possible
to upgrade ships and helicopters to high levels of
protection by installing only a minimum of extra weight
and thereby maintain the load-carrying capacity, opera-
tional radius, etc.
Scanfiber cooperates with a very wide range of
customers, military as well as civilian.
Our customers include military units all over the world,
such as e.g. Army units, Special Forces, Navy and Air
Forces and producers of military equipment.
Our customers also include many civilians, such as
e.g. ministries, manufacturers of Cash in Transits, VIP
vehicles and other commercial vehicles.

Intolerance and terror are the stigma of our fast moving time. Hostile enviroments in many parts of this world demand an adequate protec-tion of vehicle passengers, no matter if they are politicians, VIPs, peace keeping soldiers, or pilots on duty. Fast moving, easily maneuverable, but extremely safe vehicles are needed. This is where lightweight armoring with Twaron comes in.
Our laminates provide intelligent and effective protection against high energy bullets, hand grenades, explosive blasts, secondary fragments and even increased protection against specific mines.
Twaron laminates can easily be installed during or after car construc-tion, either alone or as a compound with many different materials.
Careful engineering combined with countless ballistic tests carried out together with the vehicle armorer guarantee optimal safety of the pro-tected carrier.
