Glassfiber Produkter AS has shown that fiberglass and composite materials can be both strong and durable alternatives to traditional materials. By using cutting-edge technology, they deliver tailor-made solutions that meet the strictest requirements from industries such as oil and gas, fish farming, and industry. With the advanced CAD technology from Jærtek, they now have the capacity to take on large and complex projects, and deliver top quality every time.
From pipes to advanced structures
Since its inception in 2000, Glassfiber Products has evolved from supplying fiberglass gratings and pipes, to becoming a leading player in the design and fabrication of complete fiberglass structures. They offer innovative solutions tailored to industries such as fish farming and the oil and gas sectors, which require strength, low weight, corrosion resistance and long durability. Thanks to SOLIDWORKS from Jærtek, they have optimized production and delivered future-proof solutions in a market that places high demands on both quality and sustainability.
– The collaboration with Jærtek has lifted us to new heights, says Magnar Stangeland in the video. – The software allows us to utilize the potential of fiberglass to the maximum and deliver complex structures like never before.
SOLIDWORKS: The Key to Innovation
At the core of Glassfiber Produkter AS's design process is SOLIDWORKS - a powerful CAD software that transforms ideas into reality. Together with Jærtek, they have also implemented PDM (Product Data Management), SWOODCam, and simulation tools, which make the entire process from design to production both faster and more precise.
Jærtek provides technological advantage
Jærtek offers more than just software; they also provide training and consulting services that give the industry a technological edge. Sales Manager Gunnar Laland at Jærtek is convinced that their solutions can optimize the production process and help Glassfiber Products stand out in a market dominated by traditional materials.
“Fiberglass is a new material for us,” Gunnar notes in the video. “But we are confident that they can streamline production with our CAD and CAM solutions.”
Fiberglass Products: Superior expertise that ensures success
Technical expertise is a key factor at Glassfiber Produkter. In an industry characterized by intense competition, it is crucial to stay up to date. With Jærtek as a partner, they have access to extensive courses and certifications, ensuring that their team is always at the forefront of developments in design and production technology. This close collaboration and continuous competence building gives Glassfiber Produkter the strength they need to deliver groundbreaking solutions.
A holistic ecosystem with SOLIDWORKS
SOLIDWORKS is more than just a CAD tool – it is a full-fledged ecosystem that elevates the manufacturing process to new heights. At Glassfiber Produkter, several SOLIDWORKS solutions such as Simulation, SWOODCam and PDM are integrated, which streamlines the workflow.
Engineering and production teams can collaborate seamlessly through shared files, ensuring the best possible coordination from start to finish.
This streamlined process extends all the way to the production floor, where employees access drawings and processes via tablets – enabling better communication and faster execution.
From order to finished product: An efficient process
When Glassfiber Products receives an order, a streamlined process is initiated. The project designer starts with a design in SOLIDWORKS, and the entire project is created in PDM, so that everyone involved has a full overview of both the design and production drawings. Through SOLIDWORKS integrated add-ons, load simulations and CNC programming are performed directly in the system. This ensures fast and accurate production. In the workshop, employees have access to both PDM and 3D models via tablets, which means that the designs follow the project from start to finish – down to the last bolt.
Together we create the solutions of the future
For Glassfiber Produkter, strong partnerships are the path to success. With Jærtek as their technology partner, they gain access to the best software, expertise and support on the market. This collaboration enables them to stay ahead of the competition and deliver innovative, tailored solutions to their customers – every time.
