SKY Advanced Materials (Fot, Hungary) have appointed MATRIX Composite Materials (Bristol, UK) as their UK Distribution Partner. MATRIX, a leading distributor of high-performance materials for composites, will now stock and distribute SKY’s comprehensive range of multiaxial and woven carbon reinforcements.
SKY Advanced Materials were pioneers in tow-spreading technology, allowing 50K industrial fibres to be used in lightweight multiaxial reinforcements, with axis aerial weights as low as 75 g/m2.
MATRIX are specialists in multiaxial reinforcements, with decades of experience in both carbon and glass. The SKY range will be offered alongside their other core products, Sicomin epoxies and ArmaPET core. Martin Spooner, Director at MATRIX, expressed that “SKY are the leaders in tow-spreading technology, and their technical capabilities are extraordinary. Add to this an agility and customer focus that larger suppliers no longer offer, and we feel very lucky to be partnering with SKY”.
Kamal Al-Rawi, Managing Director of SKY commented “The MATRIX team have a deep technical understanding of multiaxial carbons, and combined with their established customer relationships, we believe that they are the right partners to strengthen our position in the extensive UK composites market”.
