About the brand

Cellasto®
Customers who choose Cellasto recognize it as an essential solution for reducing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). With its long history of proven performance over nearly 60 years, Cellasto has become the insider’s secret to optimized designs. Manufacturers push the boundaries of creativity within their engineering teams, and such creativity will not compromise the performance of Cellasto.
In the global automotive market, manufacturers rely on Cellasto for chassis, suspension, powertrain and interior applications. Especially spring aids, coil spring isolators and top mounts, where Cellasto’s dynamic strength and NVH reduction abilities contribute significantly to enhancing driving comfort and safety.
In addition, manufacturers of elevators, hand-guided tools, home appliances, office furniture, heavy construction equipment and other products continue to discover ideal applications for Cellasto. By enhancing smooth handling, durability and comfort, Cellasto allows innovators in various industries to contribute to a better life for end-users. Cellasto also offers a broad portfolio of suspension applications for automotive independent aftermarket with OEM quality.
When looking for multi-material solutions, OEM customers find Cellasto to have practical versatility, which offers generous design freedom. With its outstanding physical properties, the material is highly resilient and has exceptional volume compressibility and low compression set. In contrast to similar components, e.g. made of rubber, the special microcellular polyurethane foam expands only slightly under compression. This translates to smaller, lighter assemblies, which create value for customers.
Cellasto offers better damping performance, which reduces structure-borne noise and vibrations specially in automotive applications. Cellasto is not only more durable than rubber and other PU materials, it also has a superior combination of physical properties – soft and durable – when it comes to isolating vibrations, whatever the source.
