Composite Integration (Saltash, U.K.) has appointed a partnership with Metyx USA (Ranlo, N.C., U.S.) to further the company’s existing relationship with Metyx Group (Istanbul, Turkey) which has been ongoing since 2007, as well as reinforce its global distribution network.
Composites Integration says it provides market-leading technology for composites manufacturing, and specializes in resin transfer molding (RTM) and infusion in multiple sectors including renewables, aerospace, automotive and defense. The company notes the continuation of its successful growth path throughout the last year which saw distributor agreements announced across Europe.
“We are excited to be distributing Composite Integration products in the U.S. markets as well,” says Murphy Mahaffey, North America sales manager, Metyx USA. He brings extensive experience in composites and material processing equipment. “We have been engaged in a strong partnership for a long time in Turkey, and now we will work together to create the same synergy for our U.S. customers. I do believe that our RTM product line, Metycore infusion mat, and Composite Integration RTM machines will combine for an attractive package for RTM, RTM light and infusion manufacturing.”
Metyx manufactures and supplies a wide range of high-performance technical textiles along with many composite-related services for marine, wind, automotive, transportation, construction industries. This new partnership will add to the strength and depth of the company’s offerings.
“We look forward to expanding our relationship and sharing our knowledge with both Metyx USA and their clients,” David Raynor, business development manager from Composite Integration concludes. “Adding Metyx USA to our distribution network shows our strong commitment to the composites engineering market in America and our dedication to continue to deliver market-leading solutions to the composites industry worldwide.”
