Covestro's Carbon Fiber Composite for Luggage Applications

Chinese luggage brand TUPLUS has released a new carbon fiber suitcase under its “Core” lineup. The 25-inch model, currently only available for sale in China, has front and back shells made of Maezio® thermoplastic composites from Covestro, boosting impact performance while elevating design and style.

Founded in 2015, TUPLUS is a special travel brand for high-end suitcases that have carried off many international prizes including the Red Dot Design Award. The new model features a creative multi-material design concept: The structural frame in the center is made of aluminum and magnesium alloy, while the front and back shells have been given the highly-coveted look of carbon fibers. It is also designed with an advanced lock system featuring the absence of rivets and screws, giving it a smooth, minimalist finish.

Despite the dramatic decrease in travel due to the corona crisis, TUPLUS believes the travel industry will bounce back steadily as travel restrictions are eased in China and the world.
