The basic material of carbon fabrics is pure carbon – the chemical element of which also diamonds consist. Using a special process, carbon is produced into finest fibres with a diameter of 0.003 to 0.005 mm (3-5 thousandth part of mm). To produce a carbon fabric, between 1.000 and 24.000 single fibres are combined into one bunch, wound on spools and woven on power looms. Extreme tensile strength together with low weight, resistance to chemicals and harsh temperatures - these are the unique properties of carbon fabrics. Günter Mühlbacher together with his business partner Roland Notsch established the company MoldTech Modell & Formenbau GmbH in 2002. The core business of the company is the competence in model and mould making for premium quality carbon component parts.

The solid company know-how combined with his passion for design items made of carbon fabrics – the material which shows through high-grade processing technologies the amazing colour depth effect, inspired the company's founder Günter Mühlbacher to use carbon for creating of exclusive design products for bathrooms.
