The marine industry
One of the first industries to recognise the advantages of composites was shipbuilding, particularly due to their simple processing techniques and resistance to corrosion. However, the sea presents a highly demanding environment for testing material ageing, as constant exposure to salt, ultraviolet radiation, and continuous wave impacts pose significant challenges to a material’s durability.
As a result, shipbuilding is the largest market for composites, with their applications spanning nearly every aspect of the industry. Minesweepers, mega-yachts, sailboats, motorboats, kayaks, and other vessels extensively utilise polyester and epoxy resins, gelcoat, core materials, fibreglass, and, in some cases, carbon fibre.
- Polyester resins and gelcoats
- Epoxy resins
- Consumables for vacuum infusion
- Structural PET foam panels
- Fiberglass fabrics and glass mats
- Carbon fabrics
Wind generator blades are the largest parts in this industry.
By using composite materials, the weight of the blade was reduced, and its length increased to up to 100 metres, significantly improving energy production efficiency and accelerating investment payback.
We are proud that our suppliers collaborate with the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturers as well as tide and wave energy equipment producers.

Composite materials have long been used in passenger and cargo vehicles, as well as in public transportation,
though mostly used under the hood and inside the car, the popularity of composites in these industries has increased in recent years.
Starting with exotic applications, such as supercar or Formula 1 components, the demand for lightweight structures and improved fuel efficiency has driven the largest car manufacturers to incorporate composites into their products.
New high-speed production techniques have made it possible to transition fiberglass and carbon fiber to mass production.
Our suppliers have been involved in a wide range of automotive projects, from under-structure and cosmetic body panels to composite wheels.

Fire retardant solutions for passenger safety is a railway’s number one rule.
The standards are very strict, while at the same time, the industry is seeking more lightweight and practical solutions. Railway transport is evolving, particularly by reducing the weight of rolling stock. There is a demand for high-speed transportation, where reduced weight leads to increased speed, higher delivery capacity, and greater comfort for passengers.
The future of the global railway composites market looks very promising.
Currently, composites are rarely used in the structural elements of rolling stock; instead, they are employed in decorative details, window frames, front panels, floors, and other components. These products must meet fire resistance, smoke release, and toxicity requirements as specified by GOST and EN standards.
Original equipment manufacturers are subject to strict compliance requirements. Our company is experienced in working with fire-retardant and non-flammable solutions for rolling stock, public transport, and shipbuilding.

Composite tanks, pipes and profiles.
Composites are popular in many industries due to their unique properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and adaptability to specific design requirements. As the properties of raw materials and production techniques have significantly improved in recent years, the use of composite pipes and vessels has also increased.
Modern technologies produce pipes and tanks that can withstand pressures of up to 300 bars, temperatures up to 200 ºC, and abrasion, while resisting aggressive acids and caustics. They are also capable of storing and transporting drinking water.
Fiberglass pipes and tanks are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, water supply, sewage, water purification plants, heating systems, and chemical factories.

- Epoxy resins
- Reinforcing materials and rovings
Wind energy, solar panels, water, and tidal energy—all environmentally friendly methods of producing and storing energy—rely on composite materials. This is due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.
The sanitaryware industry
have long been used composites. They are the materials of choice because they offer high strength, chemical resistance, high rigidity, and design flexibility, enabling the creation of complex shapes and solutions that are impossible with other materials.
Modern composite materials provide lightweight, high-quality decorative products that meet global sanitary standards.
Composites can also be combined with other materials (such as ABS plastic and acrylic) to reinforce structures or serve as an outer layer to protect the product from wear, UV light, or chemicals. Additionally, composites are successfully used to imitate natural materials, offering lightweight, cost-effective alternatives while allowing for the creation of intricate shapes.
