Our products and services are used by many of theworld’s leading businesses in every manufacturingindustry, but particularly for automotive, aerospace,marine, and wind energy.
Here, composites are used effectively to create materials
that are lighter, stronger, more durable, with better
resistance to fire, chemicals and corrosion, and much more.
Many of these properties deliver greater performance
regarding fuel efficiency and safety, and are therefore
one of the best ways to minimize your – and yourcustomers’ – environmental footprint.
