DOES ANYONE HAVE GOOD INSIGHT ON COMPOSITE MANUFACTURING COMPANY?

Hello I am exploring the possibility to start a search fund with a very targeted approach, o composite manufacturing companies. I’d like to speak with searchers or investors that have experience in this sector, in any geography

Thanks!

Hi Ivan, I am similarly looking into the Aerospace sector / supply chain, which does include some composites firms. Happy to chat if you want to send me a message.

I have some experience in the area, depends on exactly what you are looking for. Composites are still VERY difficult to work with and present significant manufacturing difficulties -- if you know the process well and can oversee manufacturing to drive efficiency I would imagine you can do well but I dont see it as a hands -off business. My experience is aerospace and auto and then recreationally for advanced sailcraft. Happy to talk.

Ivan - same here - would love to know how it went / is going. We work with aircraft float companies (composite for experimental category as well as traditional aluminum rivet) and the interesting thing is that being in the non-certified world will likely create opportunities in the future in the certified aircraft world.
