Dedicated Composites Zone, sponsored by PRF Composites

 In previous years, we have carefully and strategically removed all industry zones to enhance exposure for exhibitors and visitors from various sectors. However, we have decided to retain the Composites Zone due to its longstanding prominence, attracting a significant number of exhibitors and visitors. The composites forum and networking area will remain integral parts of the show floor.

  • What to expect this year: NEW: PRF’s REEPREEG live demo, a revolutionary process completing fibre-reinforced polymer curing in just 5 minutes at 160°c. – ONLY at Advanced Engineering 2025
  • NEW: Dedicated industry networking sessions for Aerospace, Motorsports, Automotive, Medical, Marine & Maritime, Defence, Sports & Leisure, and Renewables.
