Carbon Fibre Composites Limited

Carbon Fibre Composites Ltd was setup in 2016 in conjunction with our sister company Fusion Composites.
Being able to provide both carbon fibre, GRP and RTM infusion proccesses, ensures that we can offer our clients maximum value for money and choose the right process for their projects, all completed within one company.
We can supply parts separately or fully assembled.This includes carbon fibre components, CNC patterns, hand lay GRP/RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding), RTML (resin transfer moulding light, which is also vacuum infusion using a vacuum bag) and vacuum resin transfer moulding.

Carbon Fibre Preforms Ltd

Carbon Fibre Preforms (CFP) offer a unique range of carbon fibre composite materials for tooling, extreme high temperature and impact protection applications. Carbon Fibre Preforms’ revolutionary zero waste ROCCS (Rapid Output Controllable Composite Shapes) technology enables composite materials to be produced significantly quicker and more cost effectively than existing conventional technologies, making the materials a commercially viable alternative to metal solutions.

Our flat sheet and net shape materials have a unique 3D fibre matrix, with fibres oriented randomly in the X, Y and Z directions and can be manufactured in a broad range of weights using thermoset, thermoplastic and specialist resins.
