SHD Quadruples US Manufacturing Platform in North Carolina

SHD Composites, a Cambium company, is expanding to a 60,000 square feet manufacturing facility in Mooresville, NC.

Cambium, a developer and manufacturer of advanced materials for defense and high-performance applications, announced the next phase of expansion for its US manufacturing base: a 60,000-square-foot facility in Mooresville, North Carolina. This expansion will quadruple the domestic production capacity of its SHD composites manufacturing division, which it acquired just over six months ago. The new SHD Mooresville rapid manufacturing centre will be designed from the ground up to deliver exceptionally fast customer response times at scale, and will be vertically integrated across resin mixing, film, prepreg, testing and development.

This expansion, which will start to come online later this year, is the latest move in Cambium's global build-out to supply advanced materials across defense, space & aviation, high-performance motorsports and every other industry that demands both innovation and a rapid and reliable supply chain. This expansion follows the commissioning of new advanced prepreg and film-coating lines at SHD’s UK facility earlier this year to significantly expand production capacity. The combined prepreg capacity across our global sites makes us one of the world’s top three players. It's all part of a coordinated scale-up of secure manufacturing capacity across the US, UK and EU. It also reflects Cambium's broader growth trajectory: building the Western world's dominant advanced-materials platform and industrial base that the next generation of critical systems will be built upon.
