Description
The industrial design company, Talon Technologies specialise in designing consumer, medical and industrial products for manufacture in carbon fibre and Kevlar. Geoff Germon, CEO of Talon Technology, is an an award-winning industrial designer and long-time entrepreneur in advanced composites including the creating the world’s first carbon fiber field-hockey stick, volume-produced carbon çafé chair and a raft of other specialized inhouse projects such as the Carbon Hinge and Pitch Carbon. The company's solution-driven mindset also underpins a focus on plastic waste. Under the Local Plastic Micro-factory model, unsorted beach plastics are compacted into thick cores and then wrapped in thermoplastic composite of fabric impregnated with recycled LDPE from discarded plastic bags. The result is a plastic–fibre composite material strong enough for structural applications and adaptable enough for everyday products.
Commissions typically start with a customers basic concept which is workedthrough to a preproduction prototype.
