The following companies, organizations and project consortia featured strong collective innovation concepts, to be on display at JEC World 2025 in March.

Composite Tier 1’s long history, acquisition of stamped parts pioneer Dutch Thermoplastic Components, advances roadmap for growth in thermoplastic composite parts.

Glass-reinforced plastic artfully captures classic curves, crash-protects passengers and stunningly packages its maker’s high-performance but highly fuel-efficient diesel powertrain.

Current and future investment in the company’s Orangeburg site will support Sigmatex’s growth in the U.S. market across aerospace, space and defense.

The site recently installed a powerPrint large-format AM system, thermoforming machine and more to serve customers in North America.

The in-plane strength properties of a composite material, axial and transverse tension and compression and in-plane shear, are usually the first to be considered in design. However, through-the-thickness (interlaminar) strength properties cannot be ignored. Through-the-thickness tensile strength, in particular, can be critical to structural performance.

Q4 and full-year 2024 developments saw an 8% and 42% revenue increase, respectively, thanks to various milestones and agreements, though near-term market outlook for 2025 remains undetermined.

Fuko’s Biogear showcases how strategic composite material distribution and natural fiber damping properties can lightweight and enhance critical aerospace structure performance.

A briefing on some of the common foam core material types, forming methods and tooling requirements.

Eight-foot-high composite components furnish the Airbus A320 Family, enhancing fuel efficiency via their biomimetic design.
