(Fareham, U.K.), a global tooling solutions and composite part manufacturing company for aerospace, automotive, wind energy, marine and a wide range of industrial applications, has acquired what is said to be one of the largest and most established wind blade tooling manufacturing facilities in the region, located in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Serving major global renewable energy OEMs for more than a decade, this strategically positioned site — just a few miles from the U.S. border —enhances DFS Composites’ ability to deliver rapid response, efficiency and reduced lead times to the North American market.

The facility spans approximately 300,000 square feet and supports advanced composites manufacturing processes, including a CNC machine (31 × 8 × 5 meters), a specialist paint booth, multiple overhead cranes, a dedicated composites and tooling center, in-house AWS-certified welders, and in-house glass fiber cutting and kitting machines. 

With this new acquisition and existing factories in the U.K., India and China, DFS Composites is now strategically positioned in key locations close to major global customers while enabling the company to meet increasing demand from the U.S., Mexico and South America. This geographic proximity ensures lower logistics costs, greater competitiveness and faster delivery times, and significantly enhances DFS Composites’ production capacity.

This announcement comes alongside another major milestone this year: DFS Composites was selected among five companies by the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP) as part of its inaugural Manufacturing Facility Support Programme (MFSP). The company received a portion of the £1.4 million funding awarded to support the development and expansion of U.K.-based manufacturing facilities for offshore wind components — reinforcing DFS Composites’ growing role in industrial-scale renewable energy production.

DFS Composites is exhibiting at CAMX 2025, where it will showcase its expanded capabilities and discuss new collaboration opportunities with North American customers and partners.
