As the Chairman and Chief Executive of Porsche, Mr Wendelin Wiedeking, personal motto greatly explains, this is the era of small and managerially agile companies, that make successful exclusive products, sure-fire way to big-profits.

This is particularly true for motor sport world, where flexibility, quality, reliability and extremely quick feedback and deliveries are the key-words: Ilmor and CRP comply all of them!

CRP and Ilmor know each other since some years, being both protagonists in F1 world, as hi-tech partners and suppliers.

The Ilmor company was founded by Mario Illien, Paul Morgan and Roger Penske in 1984. It quickly became successful in Indy racing and progressed to competing in Formula One in the early nineties, winning the world championship with McLaren in ’98 and ’99.
After great successes in many diverse racing series, in late 2002, Mercedes-Benz elected to begin a phased buyout of Ilmor. This began to stifle opportunities for Special Projects and so by the end of June 2005 a new Ilmor was born and now possesses its own independent facilities employing 60 staff in total. The main business is the development and production of racing engines, from conception through to trackside.

CRP’s R&D Department has also developed WINDFORM® materials for Laser Sintering technology: WINDFORM® XT, carbon fibre filled, allows the creation of high-end functional prototypes and production parts.
While CRP is focused on Motorsport and Automotive, WINDFORM® suits several different sectors, from Design to Electronics, from Consumer products to Lighting systems, besides wind tunnel or racing cars aerodynamics and non-structural parts.
