Perth's Advanced Composites Testing Facility
Composite Components’ Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is capable of testing advanced composite materials, metals and plastics to international standards. Our 100 kN testing facility combines precision equipment with decades of composite engineering expertise to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end product development support.
Unlike traditional testing laboratories, our materials testing is conducted by the same engineers who design and manufacture advanced composite structures. This means you receive engineering insights, not just data points.
