thermoplastic and thermoset composites to the aerospace industry. There is a growing demand for
durable lightweight composites, both from the traditional composites markets and other industrial
sectors.
The expanded facility represents an important addition to the thermoplastic composite
manufacturing capabilities of TenCate. Thermoplastic composites offer a unique combination of
processability and durability, which make them well suited to serve applications ranging from
aerospace to high-end industrial markets such as oil and gas and transportation.
