Process Capabilities
Innovating our way to the top
We are at the forefront of advanced composite structures development and innovation. Whether a direct investment or as a collaboration with our technology partners and/or customers, we set the bar solving the most difficult challenges in composite structures and composite part integration. Collaboration with our customers for design, co-design, or process design on build-to-print products and assemblies enables our customers to be most successful.
Research Centers
With a large staff of highly experienced engineers and technicians utilizing the latest equipment and resources, our research centers work independently and in partnership with our customers to develop new composite manufacturing processes, materials technologies, and design tools for easy conversion to production programs. Our dedicated technology centers have complete pilot and prototyping capabilities and each operation supports local and global development activities.
