The company was founded in July 2001 of Mr. Claus Templin and Mr. Ingo Saake as a kind of Spin-Off enterprise from the university of applied sciences Bremen and the Fraunhofer-Institut Bremen (IFAM). 2002 the business idea was distinguished at the Start-Up establishment competition in the country Bremen with the 1. place. At the first November 2005, AlCarbon opened his US-Office at the Innovation Laboratory of the East Tennessee State University (ETSU).

The company philosophy of the AlCarbon Technologies GmbH is to lead metal-foams, especially the aluminum-foams, from the research laboratories - as for example from Fraunhofer-Institut Bremen IFAM - by combination with GRP component-plastics into new products to the marketability.

With the development in close co-operation with the customer their commercial philosophy is protected in an existing product or a new product is supplemented with a clearly different philosophy, which gives the opportunity for the customer to take a superior position on the market.

Partner companies: Within the range of the product development and the associated manufacturing technique the ATG co-operates closely with further companies from aluminum-foam range. These are

- Fraunhofer-Institut Bremen, IFAM (Research in the range of metal-foams,
