Toray Advanced Composites has announced the planned expansion of its Morgan Hill CA, US plant operations. The new facility will add 6,800m2 to the existing campus facilities.
"We're growing our operations to meet the demand for quality advanced composites,” said Scott Unger, managing director, USA, Global CTO. “This addition to our Toray facilities in Morgan Hill will dramatically increase capacity for aerospace, urban air mobility, defence, commercial, and industrial markets worldwide."
In concert with other Toray announcements for carbon fibre and advanced composite business units around the globe, this accelerated expansion at the Morgan Hill location will support both thermoset and Cetex thermoplastic production, supply chain readiness, as well as increase technology laboratory capability and capacity in preparation for the surging market demand for materials.
This announcement follows Toray Advanced Composites' recent publication as the industry's first globally recognised thermoplastic prepreg manufacturing with Nadcap accreditation granted by the Nadcap Management Council and Toray Composite Materials America division investment in doubling carbon fibre production capacity.
