Whether you require a new component, wish to improve the manufacture of existing products, or supply materials or manufacturing equipment to the composites industry, we have the capability to move your product a step ahead of the competition by incorporating the latest developments.

 We provide independent advice on the best combination of materials for your composites application, including newer reinforcements such as 3D-woven, stitched and knitted fabrics as well as tailored fibre placement. We also assist in the development of new materials, with demonstrated success in fire retardant materials and UV cure composites (see our Success Stories). 

We have considerable expertise in many manufacturing processes, including Adhesive Bonding, Autoclave Curing, Cocuring, Diaphragm Forming, Machining of Composites, Mechanical Fastening, Prepreg Manufacture, Pullforming, Pultrusion, Resin Infusion Technologies, Thermoset Composite Welding (TCW) and Tool Design and Manufacture.

We apply our knowledge to the design and development of new products, new processes and the improvement and optimisation of existing processes to give our clients a competitive advantage.

Our development and use of modelling tools to predict material and component behaviour during manufacturing enables production to tighter tolerances with better repeatability. These tools reduce experimentation during the design process, cutting the development time and cost considerably.

We have in-house capability to design and manufacture rapid low-cost tooling, for prototyping and rapid manufacture of high-accuracy, low- production-run components. Our services can also include testing for qualification, process documentation and training of manufacturing staff.
