SGL Carbon SE (Wiesbaden, Germany) has sold its 51% share in the SGL Kümpers GmbH & Co. KG joint venture to Kümpers GmbH and Franz-Jürgen Kümpers, both of Rheine, Germany. SGL Group will continue to supply carbon fiber and will maintain its existing business relationship with Kümpers. The parties to the contract have agreed to keep the financial details confidential. The joint venture was founded in early 2007 for the production of high-performance materials, such as fabrics and braids based on carbon and glass fibers.
