Far-UK offers innovative solutions in the design and manufacture of lightweight carbon fibre components – developing processes and products particularly for structural applications.
Our expertise in crash and multi-material chassis parts means we can produce our own carbon fibre based solutions or work with existing OEMs to bring new components into production.
Extensive experience in material technology and design for manufacture is underpinned by technical expertise in FEA.
We are keen to help light-weighting innovations advance into the future.
