About Velocity Composites

Velocity Composites manufactures advanced carbon fibre and ancillary material kits for use in the production of aircraft. The Company uses its process knowledge, business processes and proprietary software to reduce the amount of material required by its customers and also reduce the associated material waste when making aircraft parts. In turn, this reduces the aircraft manufacturer's costs, with the kits delivered on time and in the required form to allow its customers to more readily meet the significant increases in build rates.

The Company trades under the name "Velocity Composites"
