Composite Tooling
Our specialist team has the skills and technology to create, repair and maintain bespoke tools to facilitate consistently high-quality manufacturing.
Our capabilities
Composite Products is a tooling partner with a trusted reputation. We have long-term relationships with our clients and make high quality tooling that they can rely on, time after time.
How does tooling happen?
We thoroughly understand your design. Then, we work with you to develop a carbon tool that ensures every product is consistent and is delivered on time. We use either Aluminium or Pattern Block which is precise, durable and high quality.
Why is tooling important?
Tooling is a critical part of your manufacturing cycle. To produce consistently high-quality parts, you need a tool that you can use repeatedly without the quality or details being compromised. We specialise in quality composite tooling that is made to last.
