About the Company

The future is composites-we've known this for decades. When Radius got started in 1986, other materials reigned supreme. But we saw the potential for strong, lightweight materials to radically transform a wide range of industries. Today, demand for composite aircraft engine structures alone is forecast to grow by 7% annually through 2018. We're uniquely suited to help our customers meet that demand.Equipment & ServicesEngineering ServicesTooling Design and FabricationManufacturing Process DevelopmentRTM & SQRTM PressesCustom WorkcellsResin Injection SystemsTechnology Transfer and Customer Support
