CST exhibits at JEC Europe 2014

By All News, Industrial News

CST Composites will be exhibiting for the third time at the JEC Europe Composites Show. JEC Europe is the biggest composites exhibition in the world. You can find us at stand 7.2 F6 on 11, 12 and 13 March 2014.

CST Composites will take the opportunity to showcase its capabilities in filament winding, pultrusion and composites fabrication.

In attendance will be our Managing Director, Clive Watts, our General Manager, Chris Dixon and our Director of Strategy & Business Development, Mark Sterbic.

Exciting R&D Projects and Product Developments in 2013

By All News, Industrial News

CST has developed a range of specialist products that are designed to address rapidly growing demands for specialist composite products to replace traditional alloy materials. Specifically these developments include:

Mining & Infrastructure

We are currently developing a number of new products suitable for a range of mining, infrastructure and other industrial applications.

I-Beam

Our development of the I-Beam will come to fruition this year and we expect to release the product in volume to the marketplace by the third quarter of 2013. This product will be technologically advanced and provide a solution for infrastructure, construction, and industrial clients. The I-Beam has generated a great deal of interest and seems to be the perfect structural component for many applications.

Communication Masts

We have continued our development of a range of communication masts specifically designed for the mining Industry. Because metal masts have been shown to fatigue rapidly, CST has designed a new prototype for this application. We have developed a prototype of a unique product that integrates into existing hardware and provides substantial life-cost benefits. CST’s prototype is stronger than current solutions and is suitably designed to bear operational forces, prevent fatigue and, therefore, damage.

CST Acquires Aeronaut Table Plotter Cutter

By All News, Industrial News

Aeronaut Plotter Cutter

CST is constantly upgrading our capabilities. We’ve recently acquired an Aeronaut Plotter Cutter which has automated the cutting-out of prepreg and dry fabrics. This machine ensures consistency of the final product with ease of repeatability, and because it saves time, our customers save money. We now have the ability to pre-package kits before production.

Our plotter cutter has a table size of 7 metres x 1.5 metres, giving us a wide scope for automated cutting.

Cern Higgs Boson Particle & CST Composites

By All News, Industrial News


CST Composites provides tubes to some exciting and world-leading organisations. Although we can’t claim to have discovered the Higgs boson particle, we can say that an organisation as prestigious as Cern looks to CST Composites for its carbon fibre composite needs. We recently supplied tubing to Cern, Geneva, and are proud our products are recognised throughout the world as innovative, high quality solutions when it comes to composites.
