From racing dinghies to superyacht structures. One manufacturing process, one principle: fibre placed at true 0° for maximum axial stiffness. AFL winding, integrated loop joints, continuous fibre end to end.

A carbon fibre mast is a fantastic example where CompoTech process excels and conventional filament winding struggles most. At helix angles of 5–10°, standard winding cannot place fibre axially. That means the fibres doing the least work are oriented precisely where you need them most.

CompoTech AFL places continuous fibre at a true 0° axial angle. The result: 10–15% higher stiffness and up to 50% greater bending strength compared with conventionally wound tubes of the same cross-section. At the masthead, that stiffness is directly proportional to rig stability under forestay load. Aloft, every gram saved in the spar is a gram that doesn't amplify rolling inertia.

The video shows the winding process alongside the range of structures we produce: racing masts, boom tubes, spreaders, telescopic systems, and superyacht structural applications. All optimised for weight-to-stiffness to maximise performance.

CompoTech has commissioned a bespoke CNC machining centre, the COMAGRAV NOTUS 3000X. 5½-axis capability. Two years in the making, built to our exact specifications with our Czech machine tool partner, COMAGRAV.

The main advantage beside the 1,920 × 3,150 mm aluminium table with 9 programmable vacuum zones, a full rotary b-axis for tubular structures up to 2.5 metres. With Renishaw probing for on-machine measurement. Single setup, start to finish.

For our customers in aerospace, marine, and industrial sectors it means tighter tolerances, faster turnaround, and more complex work done entirely in-house.

Next week we are heading to JEC Composites World 2026 in Paris! 10–12 March.
CompoTech will be showcasing our cutting-edge automated composite manufacturing technologies at Hall 6, Stand G85.

At this year’s event, you’ll find us presenting:
• Our high-performance CFRP telescopic mast technology – pushing the boundaries in lightweight structural solutions for defence, aerospace, marine systems, and mobile platforms.
• Innovative hydrogen storage tank prototypes designed for integration into ultralight aircraft wings – demonstrating how advanced composites can support the next generation of energy solutions.
• A range of carbon fibre structural beams, tubes and aerostructures that highlight the capabilities of our proprietary automated winding and “true zero” axial fibre placement technologies – delivering exceptional stiffness, strength and dimensional accuracy while significantly reducing weight compared to traditional metals.

We’ve come a long way with over three decades of process innovation, and JEC World gives us the perfect platform to connect with partners, customers and industry leaders from around the globe.

See you in Paris! 🇫🇷

2 x showcase examples used for CompositesWorld Industrial sector 2026 round-up come from CompoTech.

- PalletX composite pallet. A ground-up design and process development using our proprietary Advanced winding technology. The complete production platform and process knowledge now transferred to the customer.

- Kongsberg PrecisionCutting Systems composite traverse beam for wide-format digital print finishing. A complex wound structure with internal reinforcement produced in one process. Produced with multimaterial integral components for joining and precision-machined surfaces.

Composites solve a variety of industrial applications. Recent notable examples include fire truck pumps, biogas reactor tanks and shipping pallets.

Looking at two composite MTB suspension forks at the opposite ends of our timeline:
In the mid-90s, we developed the carbon stanchion for the Kangaroo 26RC.
Fast-forward 30 years to current-day cutting-edge carbon upper stanchions for , with Enduro World Cup pedigree and winning the Czech national champs with
The design and materials have come a long way, but importantly, today we focus more on stiffness than on lightweight alone.
Both forks make use of our True-Zero degree axial placement. Something we have been proud to offer since the start.
Has anyone had experience riding the early Kangaroo forks?
