Web Industries Inc., industry leader in formatting prepreg composites for aerostructure fabrication, has announced infrastructure additions and storage expansion at its plant outside of Atlanta, Georgia.
The largest and most advanced composites formatting facility in the world, Web Atlanta, produces precision composite slit tape and ply kits and provides vendor managed inventory services to the aerospace industry's leading manufacturers and part fabricators. These additions are the first part of a US $12 million, three-year infrastructure investment plan that will increase efficiency and capacity at web Atlanta and will position the facility to service a projected five-fold growth in aerospace composite formatting business over the next decade.Web Industries Inc., industry leader in formatting prepreg composites for aerostructure fabrication, has announced infrastructure additions and storage expansion at its plant outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

To meet growing demand for Web's PrecisionSlitTM composite slit tape, the company has developed new processes that enable the production of longer slit tape spools with improved slit tape edges and an increased usable life span, all of which offer aerospace companies better manufacturing production rates. Taking place in a set of linked climate-controlled rooms, these new processes quickly thaw frozen raw composite material parent rolls, prep them for formatting in an ISO 8 clean room environment.
Web Atlanta is also expanding its automated prepreg cutting and ply kitting operations. Four additional cutting tables will join Web's existing assets in a customised environment, optimised for FOD-free production and offering the region's aerospace, defence, and aviation industries a centrally-located, AS9100C certified supplier of custom-tailored composite ply kits.
To handle the projected increase in raw and formatted composites volumes, Web Atlanta has built a new 120,839 square feet cold storage freezer. This brings the facility's total freezer capacity to 289,214 square feet, which is one of the largest freezer footprints in the industry. This also expands the volume of vendor managed inventory services that Web can offer, giving innovative aerospace fabricators greater options to contract out their raw material procurement and storage, inventory lot tracking, quality assurance systems, customised ply kit or slit tape formatting, fulfilment, and finished goods safety stock.
