We work closely with our customers to provide the right product for every application, by offering technical support and expertise at every stage of the project. Not only working to continually improve our existing range of products, but we also work to develop new and exciting products through our recognition of an industry need, and through project consortiums.
Our highly experienced technical team is on hand, across the group, to provide reactive customer support. With autoclave, oven and press curing equipment available for customer support, development and prototyping, we are able to offer a comprehensive service, including fast turnaround of development trials for both internal and external projects.
Our Technical Centre houses a range of material testing equipment to offer comprehensive material characterisation (for more details see our Materials Testing Capabilities).
We are also able to offer support for programme qualifications with full test packages.
