Ranger presents the new GMC® solution at SMCCreate 2025: the bio-based composite material for a more sustainable future
Prague, 4–5 November 2025
Ranger, represented by Simone Pietta, took part in SMCCreate 2025 – the international event dedicated to innovation in composite materials – presenting for the first time the new GMC® (Green Moulding Compound) technology, a sustainable alternative to traditional SMC/BMC materials.During the presentation, Ranger illustrated how GMC® marks a real breakthrough in the composites sector thanks to its bio-based formulation, made of bio-resins, natural fibres and bio-fillers, developed to significantly reduce environmental impact without compromising competitive industrial performance.
GMC®: a new standard in ready-to-use sustainable materials
GMC® was created to address the growing need for sustainability in the composites industry. From the very beginning, the goal was to offer a ready-to-use solution that would not require additional investments from customers and could easily replace traditional materials thanks to full compatibility with existing presses and moulds. This is the first tangible sustainability value Ranger aimed to guarantee, further supported by several additional advantages:
- significant reduction of CO₂ footprint thanks to the use of renewable raw materials;
- lower density compared to traditional materials, resulting in lighter components;
- immediate integration into existing SMC/BMC production lines with no need for dedicated equipment;
- ability to be moulded using tools already available in the company, enabling rapid production of samples and prototypes;
- mechanical performance comparable to conventional materials, with further optimisation possible through advanced engineering solutions.
A technology designed for industry
GMC® has been engineered to strengthen the existing supply chain, offering the market a concrete solution that is immediately adoptable and fully integrable into current production processes, thanks to its compatibility with presses and moulds already in operation. Its potential applications range from automotive to electrical components, from sustainable furniture to rail transport, as well as sports and agricultural equipment.
Ranger’s participation in SMCCreate 2025 confirms the company’s commitment to leading the transition toward more sustainable composite materials, while maintaining quality, functionality and production efficiency.
