How are you celebrating National Composites Week?

National Composites Week (NCW) was founded in 2019 to celebrate the industry’s innovation, economic contributions and proliferation. Five years later, it remains a globally celebrated week in which composites fabricators, manufacturers, suppliers and many others participate through a series of social, virtual and in-person events, all designed to highlight the importance of composites.

Make sure to save the date for NCW, taking place Aug. 26-30, 2024. This year’s theme, “Composites Reinvent The World” recognizes the way in which composite materials and composites manufacturing enable the innovation and transformation of everyday products and processes.

One of the keys to a successful NCW is to make sure it gets attention. Because of this, if your company is participating, it will be important that you’re prepared to share images and/or video of your NCW involvement with local media (newspapers, television stations), social media like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn and your company’s own website.

How can your company get involved?

Host a digital plant tour, open house or other online public event, designed to showcase your company’s capabilities and expertise.
Use your company’s website, social media and contact list to celebrate NCW by highlighting success stories about what your firm does in the industry that impacts peoples’ lives.
Highlight unique applications of composite materials employed by your company/facility. Include photos/video of the part and the processes used to produce it.
Reach out to STEM students at universities or community colleges in your area to promote careers in the industry and within your company.
Put together information that your employees can take home and share with their families. Use this week to pro-actively communicate with your own employees so they can go home and share the interesting things they do and technologies they support.
