Located in Cambridgeshire, Mykon manufactures innovative surface materials, which are used in domestic, public and commercial building applications.
Mykon was the brainchild of Dr Mike Ashmead, having originally used aluminium honeycomb as an energy absorber in crash test barriers, Dr Ashmead identified the potential for a range of striking architectural solutions using honeycomb technology.
With its unique geometric design and exceptionally high strength to weight ratio, the benefits of using aluminium honeycomb in architectural products were immediately obvious.
Believing light to be one of the most versatile resources available to architects and interior designers, Dr Ashmead was inspired to create products that, whilst aesthetically pleasing, did not form a barrier to light.
Mykon is a division of engineering group Encocam – a global manufacturer and exporter of aluminium honeycomb for over 30 years. Our aluminium honeycomb has been used in the London Eye, Heathrow Rapid Transport Pods and the interior of Eurotunnel vehicle shuttles.
