E-Composites Seminar "Composites Technology"

As composites technology continues to advance and its impact reverberates in every sector of the industry, planners, investors, managers and executives need to understand the fundamentals, applications and trends in these technologies. The seminar will feature 13 composite technologies that have significant impact on the market place.

Composites technology operates in a $43 billion composites market and are used to make components for the automotive, aerospace, construction, sporting goods, electrical, industrial, energy and other industries. Each industry’s requirements are unique and therefore a suitable process needs to be selected based on specific application requirements. This seminar will assess current composite technologies and provide recent developments and trends in the technologies. 

This seminar titled "Composites Technology: Fundamentals, Applications and Trends" was offered several times in the US and in France and it was very successful. Executives from Cincinnati Machine, Dow Chemical, GE, Reichhold, Saint Gobain and many more benefited from the seminar.
