Far-UK is a designer and manufacturer of structural composite components, specialising in lightweight carbon-fibre and mixed composite solutions for load-bearing and safety-critical applications. The company works across automotive, aerospace, space, and industrial sectors, typically supporting programmes where weight reduction, corrosion resistance, or fatigue performance challenge conventional metal designs. Far-UK combinesFEA-supported structural design, materials engineering, and process development to deliver complex multi-material assemblies from early concept through to serial production. With experience replacing aluminium and steel in demanding service environments, Far-UK focuses on enabling robust engineering decisions as much as manufacturing executionhelping customers balance performance, qualification risk, and lifecycle considerations.
