Save the date for 2022 National Composites Week

Make sure to save the date for National Composites Week, taking place Aug. 22-26, 2022! The year’s theme, “Composites for People and Planet” reflects the way in which composite materials and composites manufacturing continue to make an impact on the manufacturing landscape we see today, as well as contribute to the betterment of our everyday lives — a mission that is aided by the steady upward trend in sustainable, low-emission solutions and materials recycling.

National Composites Week was founded in 2019 to celebrate the industry’s innovation, economic contributions and proliferation and is celebrated through a series of social, virtual and in-person events designed to highlight its importance.

One of the keys to a successful National Composites Week 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 National Composites Week involvement with local media (newspapers, television stations), social media like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn and your company’s own website.

Events or ideas that may suit you and your company could include:

• Hosting 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 National Composites Week 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.
