Networks

NetComposites is dedicated to developing and promoting the composites industry. We help composites companies work together by creating powerful collaborations and networks across Europe, particularly on issues that affect the competitiveness of composites compared to other materials, such as environmental impact, performance and cost. We actively work with industry and Government to ensure that the advantages and disadvantages of composites are fully understood. Our objective is to provide those interested in composites with the best possible understanding of the materials, and their applications, to benefit the growth of the composites industry as a whole.

One part of this goal is this web site, containing a huge amount of information to benefit those in the composites industry. Our activities go much deeper than this though, and we are active members of the following industry networks and technology transfer organisations:

CompositesUK
