Composite Technologies

A key to MFG's continued growth and success is the company's commitment to technical superiority in the usage and manufacturing of composites.

To sustain this leadership position, each MFG entity is responsible for acquiring the technologies necessary to serve customers in their defined market segment. Appropriate technologies are acquired from industry, academia or developed internally. Each entity is resourced to achieve its goals and further enabled by MFG's dedicated laboratory, MFG Research.

MFG's technology leadership is also grounded on continuous improvement of our in-place processes, materials and people.
