About us

Founded in 2018 by industry-visionary engineers and material scientists, Arceon is a deep-tech high temperature materials company based in Delft, Netherlands, dedicated to turning the most demanding challenges of extreme environments into opportunity. CEO and founder Rahul Shirke, along with co-founders Bernhard Heidenreich (CTO) and Rahul Sharma (COO), bring together decades of aerospace, materials-engineering and entrepreneurial experience to bridge the gap between high-end research and real-world applications.  

We exist to empower technological breakthroughs by developing materials for extremes that don’t just survive harsh environments, they thrive there. From temperatures beyond 1200 °C and pressures unseen in conventional systems, to ultra-lightweight structures for space and defence, we design for performance, durability and reliability when there is no room for compromise.  

We research, engineer and manufacture ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) that outperform traditional metals and composites in demanding conditions, offering extreme heat resistance, superior damage tolerance, and significantly reduced weight. 

We believe that when you change the material, you can change the system, and when you change the system, you can redefine what’s possible. Welcome to Arceon: materials for the extremes, engineered for excellence.
