THE RISE OF CARBON & GRP
& HOW WE HAVE THE EDGE
The use of composites, both carbon-fibre (CRP) and glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), is rapidly expanding worldwide. Carbon fibre composite use in particular has seen exponential growth and despite figures reporting a 43,000-ton consumption of carbon fibre across all sectors in 2010, demand is expected to see the annual consumption of carbon fibre grow to 240,000 to 340,000 tonnes in 2020.
With a team of experienced experts in the manufacture of CRP and GRP components, our products are already strengthening specialist industries. Composites play a vital role in the aviation, marine, renewables, automotive, agriculture, sports and recreation, military and construction markets. With the strength and durability of CRP and GRP components outperforming conventionally used materials, such as aluminium, timber and steel, composites are becoming the products of choice for many industry sectors.
