Composites are fundamental to state of the art engineering, and their inherent versatility, strength and low weight makes this class of materials an essential component in SSTL satellite design. The vertical integration promises lead time and cost savings that will enable the company to deliver excellent value satellite missions by using the best available technologies.

The 10,000 square feet facility's primary function is the manufacture of composite components and structures and it has a climate controlled Lay-up Room, Processing Area, dedicated Surface Preparation Area and a Trimming and Finishing facility. A large Processing Oven, Vapour Degreasing Tank, 'Vapormaster' Shot Blast Cabinet, Walk-in Freezer are already installed and a composites curing Autoclave will also be commissioned in 2010.
