Web Industries

Web Industries’ precision formatting, outsource manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply chain services minimize cost variability while maximizing material usability. Simplifying the economics of utilizing composites by reducing risks and improving outcomes, we help our customers reach their key competitiveness and environmental objectives while protecting their bottom line from development to delivery. Web Industries formats composites and other high-value materials to drive innovation through the lightweighting of aircraft and launch systems. Bringing together unmatched flight-proven scale, aerospace-grade quality systems, and a global footprint, we become a natural extension of our customers’ workflow that drives value, mitigates risk, and creates production efficiencies. We work with OEMs and tiered suppliers to evaluate composites and develop optimized, economically viable formatting processes at commercial-scale volumes. Having spent a half-century processing, manufacturing, and innovating with flexible materials, we have more experience formatting composites than anyone else. We practically defined specific aerospace standards that made the current generation of commercial aircraft possible, and we’re inventing the technologies of tomorrow that will reduce waste and improve the buy-to-fly ratio of aircraft currently being designed. The world’s top companies trust Web to bridge capability gaps and accelerate their go-to-market success. They appreciate how we collaboratively address product and process challenges. They value our ability to make them more productive and profitable. And with multiple facilities in both the U.S. and Europe, we’re where we need to be to support them every day. When you work with Web, you’re working with a partner, not a supplier.
