CompPair, SHD form partnership to advance healable composites to market

CompPair Technologies (Renens, Switzerland), a company specializing in repairable composite solutions with its HealTech product lines, and SHD Composites Materials (Mooresville, N.C., U.S. and Sleaford, U.K.), have formalized a strengthened partnership. This collaboration encompasses several key areas, including toll impregnation services, joint product development and commercial endeavors.

Ultimately, the agreement signifies a shared commitment to advancing more sustainable, lightweight composite solutions. CompPair’s HealTech technology brings the potential of repairability to composite applications, extending their lifespan and reducing waste. This aligns with SHD’s focus on sustainability through innovative material alternatives and a proactive approach to minimizing the environmental impact of advanced composite solutions.

Building upon a successful 4-year collaboration that began with lab-scale trials and optimization of impregnation techniques, the partnership has now laid the foundations for industrial-scale production. SHD’s manufacturing capabilities and responsiveness to customer needs further enhance the collaboration, enabling both companies to adapt swiftly to market demands.

Extending beyond a core impregnation services agreement, the two companies will also collaborate on a limited number of innovative development projects within key market sectors. Apart from these strategic collaborations, CompPair will handle all direct inquiries for HealTech prepreg product purchases, solution applications and impact assessments.
