Our aim at Velocity Composites plc is very simple: to reduce the operational costs of our customers by providing engineered kits that reduce all forms of waste from the composites supply chain. This allows our customers to focus on their core business of part manufacture and meet the global challenges around new aircraft programmes, aircraft production rate increases and the cost challenges around the volume growth in aerospace composite materials.

This waste can be in the form of material efficiency, process time, excess stock, logistics and part-to-part variation.

We achieve this by being a world class team who understand the build process of our customers, who can interpret and understand their requirements and offer proven, scalable and cost effective solutions to reduce operational costs.

Our 100% in-house manufacturing teams then take these requirements and produce engineered kits of both structural (pre-preg, film adhesives etc) and vacuum bag consumables (films, peel plys, breathers etc) with an unwavering focus on quality, repeatability and waste reduction. The kits are engineered and pre-assembled in such a way as to permit the most efficient use by our customers in their manufacturing areas.

We have developed our processes and  equipment in line with our unique service offering, including:

•	Automated and Semi-automated cutting equipment
•	Advanced real-time nesting and material control programmes
•	Fully automated 3 axis conveyor bed cutting machines (knife and driven rotary tools with inkjet printing)
•	Fully automated 3 axis conveyor bed laser cutting for polymer films, fabrics and breathers
•	Dedicated welding equipment for 3D nylon vacuum bags
•	Sewing equipment for producing 3D breather, bleeder and fabric assemblies

Velocity Composites operates from its purpose built 32,500 sq ft facility located in the heart of the UK’s North West Aerospace cluster, and a 10,000 sq ft service centre on the south coast, UK.
