In the demanding environment of space, where temperatures swing between extreme highs and lows, the partnership between material science pioneers and spacecraft engineering experts is the ultimate safeguard. Today, we are highlighting the ongoing collaboration between Dunmore and Soditech, a partnership built on decades of heritage and a shared commitment to protecting critical orbital assets.

For over 35 years, Dunmore has been the industry standard for thermal management, with materials qualified on over 100 specifications for NASA, ESA, and commercial missions. Soditech, as a leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance spacecraft sub-assemblies, turns to Dunmore’s material expertise to ensure their complex structures—from instrumentation to structural members—can withstand the rigors of LEO, GEO, and beyond.

A Collaborative Engineering Approach

The strength of this partnership lies in the technical synergy between the two teams. It isn’t just about supplying films; it’s about solving the “impossible” engineering hurdles together.

“Our engineers work as an extension of the Soditech team. When they face a unique thermal challenge, we don’t just point to a catalog; we collaborate on a tailored solution—whether that’s a custom laminate or a specific optical coating—to ensure mission success.” — Dunmore Engineering Team

Heritage Meets Innovation

By combining Dunmore’s flight-proven Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI) and specialty tapes with Soditech’s precision manufacturing, the partnership provides a seamless path from material science to mission-ready hardware.

“Working with Dunmore allows us to integrate world-class thermal protection into our sub-assemblies with total confidence. Their 50-year heritage in aerospace means we are building on a foundation of proven reliability, which is essential for the high-stakes missions our customers depend on.” — Soditech Leadership/Adrien Deverre, Business Manager for Soditech

Looking Ahead

As the space industry moves toward lunar exploration and commercial constellations, the need for lightweight, high-performance protection is more critical than ever. Together, Dunmore and Soditech are committed to pushing the frontiers of what is possible, ensuring that the next generation of spacecraft is shielded by the very best in the business.
