SHD Group is acquired by Cambium Biomaterials Inc.

We are thrilled to announce that SHD Group has been acquired by Cambium, a pioneer in advanced materials for high-performance sectors, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

This strategic move establishes a strong foundation for future growth whilst continuing to do what we do best - responding quickly to our customers’ needs and providing high quality composite prepreg materials on short lead times to our customers across the world.

Helen and Steve Doughty said “The acquisition of SHD Group by Cambium is the perfect partnership for us. The SHD culture and ethos that we have worked so hard to maintain and nurture is shared by both companies. The additional resource and investment along with considerable composites experience will secure the continued growth and expansion of SHD within the Cambium Group.

Combining the high-tech innovative materials being developed by Cambium, with the manufacturing, resin development and production know-how of SHD will enable a dynamic and progressive force to push the boundaries of the Composites Market. To our staff, customers and suppliers, thank you for your support over the years and we are truly excited for the next chapter together with Cambium.”
