Airtech, a family-owned leader in composites manufacturing for over 50 years, stands as the world’s largest privately-owned manufacturer of vacuum bagging and composite tooling materials. Serving diverse industries such as aerospace, automotive, and wind energy, Airtech has consistently pushed the boundaries of advanced materials, becoming a recognised leader in sustainable innovation.
In June 2024, Airtech won the prestigious TCT Award in the Automotive & Rail Application category for their groundbreaking “Closed-Loop Motorsport Tooling” project. In partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Airtech transformed old carbon-fibre moulds from the 2022 Pikes Peak race into new, high-quality 3D printed moulds using their recycled Dahltram® C-250CF material. This project not only played a pivotal role in Brumos Racing Car’s world record at the 2023 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb but also demonstrated the transformative potential of circular lifecycle manufacturing by saving over 300lbs of material from landfills and reducing the demand for new polymer production.
Reinforcing their position as industry leaders, Airtech’s expertise extends beyond this project to include innovations in vacuum bagging films, composite tooling materials, large-scale 3D printing, and advanced sustainable resins like Dahltram® T-100GF and Dahltram® I-350CF. These advancements ensure Airtech remains at the forefront of industry evolution and sustainability.
Visitors to the Advanced Engineering show can witness these cutting-edge solutions firsthand, including the award-winning mould tool from the “Closed-Loop Motorsport Tooling” project, at stand U160. Join Airtech to discover how they are shaping the future of sustainable composites manufacturing.
