CEL COMPONENTS Srl
About us
International leader in sandwich panels and honeycomb production.
EMPOWERING LIGHTNESS is not just a company motto, but a way of thinking. CEL Components, founded in 1992 as a consultancy company, was immediately fascinated by the mechanical properties of sandwich materials that can be used in numerous sectors and for a plethora of applications.
Over the years CEL Components experimented, developed, applied, produced honeycomb and sandwich panels. Keywords for CEL Components: flexibility, reliability and excellent delivery times.
CEL Components is considered a reliable manufacturer and supplier of outstanding sandwich panels, honeycombs and high-performance products, with excellent technical knowhow and skills. Over the years, the company selected high qualified raw material suppliers and developed a modern production department and an organized logistics.
The presence of a dynamic team made of trained operators and sales staff allows CEL Components to be a reliable partner for customers who wish to develop customized products, even for particular and ambitious projects.
Product quality, competitive prices and an efficient risk management are among the primary goals of a new business strategy oriented at satisfying every customer’s request.
In order to achieve these goals, CEL implemented an organizational and managerial restructuring process according to the model proposed by the UNI EN ISO 9001 standard. In compliance with ISO standards, CEL aims at obtaining ISO 14001 certification in 2022 and ISO 45001.
CEL Components intends to achieve and maintain these certifications in order to guarantee customers satisfaction, high safety standards for its workers, voluntary compliance with environmental protection regulations.
PCS Ltd. have exclusive rights over CEL Components products in the UK and Ireland and represent CEL directly.

Sandwich panel Compocel AL
COMPOCEL® AL is a sandwich panel with a core in aluminium honeycomb bonded to two skins of aluminium. A panel entirely in aluminum. It offers high mechanical properties, perfect when high rigidity and a low weight are required. Being a panel made of 95% aluminum, the fire reaction properties meet the reference standards for numerous applications.COMPOCEL AL panel is used in countless sectors: building to shipbuilding, from railways to interiors, from cabins to lifts etc .... Customers can customize the panel according to their needs as it is a 100% customizable product.COMPOCEL AL finishes are selected carefully for indoor and outdoor applications; high quality polymeric paint such as PVDF and FEVE are available on request. CEL offers various surface treatments, in order to resist to heat peaks and temperatures. COMPOCEL® AL FR offers superior mechanical properties and excellent fire ratings. COMPOCEL® AL FR has passed the most stringent tests of European Regulation as far as fire reaction is concerned in shipbuilding, building and railway sectors. Our panels are produced according to the needs of our clients, who determine size and other panel characteristics. Panel for false ceilings and ventilated facades, in class A2, therefore non-combustible. Thanks to special assembly techniques, COMPOCEL AL ® FR A2 meets the requirements of the UNI-EN 13501-1 standard. Mod B. and D according to the IMO MED FTP CODE 2010, HL3 according to the UNI EN 45545-2 standard for R1, R2, R10 applications.
Aluminium Honeycomb
The aluminum honeycomb is light, resistant to compression and cuts, has excellent fire reaction (incombustibility) performaces and resists to corrosion, mould and it is recyclable. Aluminium honeycomb as panels’ core has several advantages: lightweight stiffness good fire reaction compression, shear and corrosion resistance flatness As core material, aluminium honeycomb is used in sandwich panels and it is utilised in: floors, roofs, doors, partitions, facades, working surfaces for automatic machines, laser jet cutting and for all products which require an optimal stiffness-to-weight-ratio. Aluminium honeycomb is used for several of applications (i.e. for tool machines, for serigraphy..etc.) and in different sectors such as: public transport industry,nautical sector, building industry, etc... It is used as deflector for laminar flow-ventilation, and as crash-absorber for kinetic energy. The aluminum honeycomb has passed several fire reaction tests: it was considered incombustible according to the FTP Code 2010, obtaining the IMO Med, Mod B and D. certification, the A1 for building according to the 13501-1 standard , and the M0 according to the French standard NF-P 92-501-1995. Certified version Aluminium honeycomb must be required while asking for a quotation and might have a price surcharge due to certified materials.
PMI
PMI (polymethacrylimide) foam is specially developed for use as a structural core in connection with vacuum infusion processes. It is applied in components of aviation, aerospace, sports equipment with resininjection process to reduce the weight. PMI core makes it possible to produce sandwich components in a single step (co-curing), resulting in reduced overall production time. It is highly suitable with autoclave technologies and vacuum infusion processes, including RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding) and VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin transfer moulding) processes. Its cell size is small, achieves an optimal compromise between low resin absorption and satisfactory bonding of the facings to the core. Processing and production PMI is especially suitable for vacuum infusion and RTM processes due to its optimized cell structure, where it can be used at temperature up to 180°C with pressure up to 0.7 MPa after heat treatment. Thermoforming and shaping PMI can be easily thermoformed or CNC machined to meet customers’ requirements, bringing tremendous manufacturing advantages. High precision, pre-shaped and ready-to-use foam cores in complex or simple geometries can also be supplied by the Machining Department.
Sandwich Panel Alustep F
ALUSTEP® F is a lightweight sandwich panel with a core in aluminium honeycomb with two external layers in fibreglass reinforced with phenolic resin. Thanks to the low flammability of phenolic resin, this panel has a certified version which is used in shipyards, trains and transport in general. Alustep F has obtained the IMO MED certification Mod. B and D for shipbuilding sector and HL3 for R10 and HL2 for R1, R1 in the railway sector.
Sandwich Panel Alustep FN
ALUSTEP® FN is a lightweight sandwich panel with a core in aramid paper and skins in glass fibre reinforced with phenolic resin.This panel offers unique characteristics since it combines lightweight with high mechanical properties. Thanks to the low flammability of phenolic resin, the certified version of this panel can be used in shipyards, trains and transport in general.
Alustep 500
ALUSTEP® 500 is a sandwich panel with a core in aluminum honeycomb faced with fibreglass impregnated with epoxy resin. The application of ALUSTEP SERIES’ panels permits huge savings as far as weight and thickness of slabs of natural stones, such as marbles and granite and mosaics are concerned. With the reduction of material and weight, material, logistics and installation costs can be significantly reduced.
Compocel W - Sandwich Panel
Alustep HFR
Alustep® HFR is a sandwich panel composed of a honeycomb aluminium core and two fiberglass skins impregnated with epoxy resin. It is the most robust of the Alustep® series panels has good fire reaction properties. IMO MED certification is one of the strengths of the HFR Sandwich Panel. In fact, it achieved Mod. B and D and the US Coast Guard. This means that the product has been rigorously tested and approved to the highest standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), ensuring compliance with fire reaction regulations for ships and vessels.
