ABOUT US
Established in 1990, TEKLAM, a B/E Aerospace company,
is an industry leader in the design and manufacture of
advanced laminated honeycomb panels.
With over two decades of experience, our superior quality products are designed for aerospace
and commercial applications where a high strength to weight ratio is critical.
Our lightweight structural materials are produced to the most stringent requirements. TEKLAM
honeycomb panels are designed for optimal performance in their specific applications. Utilizing
materials including Carbon Fiber, Kevlar®, Fiberglass, Nomex® and aerospace aluminum alloys,
TEKLAM provides unique and innovative solutions to satisfy the most demanding requirements.
Through both Multiple Opening Presses (MOP) and vacuum processing we are capable of
producing panels of a wide range of shapes, sizes and performance characteristics.
In 2011, TEKLAM was acquired by B/E Aerospace and shortly thereafter moved into a new
93,000 square foot production facility in Corona, California. Our site maintains ISO9001 /
AS9100 certification.
PRODUCTS & CAPABILITIES
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION ENGINEERING SERVICES
From concept design through qualification, first article inspection and production, our engineers
are with you every step of the way. We frequently work with customers to evaluate the
properties of the materials used in existing designs so that we can propose alternatives that
reduce weight, increase strength and/or reduce cost. Through precise material selection and
process variation, our application engineers take pride in making sure that the panel selected
for your design is optimal. Whether you are looking for opportunities to reduce weight on
an existing application or are working on a new design with demanding requirements, our
engineers are available to assist in any way they can. Our established relationships with a wide
variety of material suppliers help ensure that the panel materials are ideally suited for your
unique application. Our R&D laboratory is equipped with two small scale lab presses and a full
range of mechanical testing equipment. Product innovation in composite technology forms the
cornerstone of our value proposition.
In addition to our line of flat panels, our oven cure vacuum bagging process enables us to
produce shapes consisting of complex curves.
EMBEDDED PANELS
Many of our advanced, space saving panel designs include components embedded within
the panel itself. Hinges, hard points, latches and electrical conduits are only a few common
embedded items. Proprietary processes ensure that embedded components maintain their
precise location throughout the layup and press process.
