Material Testing & Analytics visiting SWAP

On August 31, 2026, our PTS Materials Testing & Analytics division visited SWAP (Sachsen) GmbH in Frankenberg. The company specializes in the manufacture of sturdy paper honeycomb panels and has been operating at this location for 30 years.

After a warm welcome, our colleagues first gained insight into the company’s development as well as the wide range of applications for paper-based honeycomb structures. Then they headed straight to the production floor.

Insights into the Production of Paper Honeycombs

Our colleagues were able to watch firsthand how sinusoidal honeycomb cores and paper honeycombs are manufactured and then further processed. The combination of low material weight and high stability was particularly interesting.

These paper-based honeycomb structures give rise to versatile solutions for a variety of applications. These include, among others:

  • Packaging and Custom Packaging Solutions
  • Automotive
  • Visual Communication
  • Furniture and Interior Design
  • Construction Industry

In addition to the technical insights, what was particularly impressive were the wide range of processing options and the variety of products created using honeycomb structures.

We would like to extend our appreciation to SWAP (Sachsen) GmbH and the entire team for the warm welcome, the open dialogue, and the fascinating insights into the production process.
