Umeco is a name synonymous with innovation and service. As an international provider of advanced composite and process materials, we work primarily with organisations and individuals across aerospace and defence, wind energy, recreation and automotive industries.

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. It always begins with our customers and is driven by a desire to intimately understand their needs, providing novel technologies and services that challenge the status quo. Our extensive know-how is focused on partnering with customers and providing real advantages over the long term.

With manufacturing and distribution sites across the world, ours is very much a global approach to creating and delivering the right solution. Yet it’s our local links that enable us to do so. Throughout the years we’ve fostered strong relationships in every territory we operate in, meaning our customers enjoy a highly skilled, responsive and reliable service from people they know and trust. We think of it as global knowledge, locally served.

This unique approach has attracted some of the world’s biggest names to our portfolio of clients, including most major aerospace, defence and wind turbine OEMs, numerous manufacturers of high performance super cars and Formula One teams, and a myriad of other pioneering engineering businesses.  All of which benefit from rapid, high quality service and support across the following business streams:

• Structural Materials
• Process Materials
• Tooling
• Distribution

Structural Materials focuses on the development, manufacture and supply of advanced composite carbon, glass and specialist fibre reinforced plastic materials. Umeco Structural materials also offers a design and prototyping service for structural applications.

Process Materials focuses on the development, manufacture and supply of processing materials for the composites industry. We develop, manufacture and supply a wide range of products and services ranging from vacuum bagging consumables and associated products through to reusable vacuum bags and kitting.

Tooling focuses on tool design and build expertise as well as the continuous development and manufacture of tooling prepregs and process materials. This enables us to provide global customers with a completely unique approach to composites tooling solutions.

Distribution is the leading European distributor of polyester resin, glass fibre, composite materials and consumables. We set the standards in our field by bringing a wide range of quality products to a global customer base.
