Carbon fibre for composite material applications

Sigmatex develops and manufactures carbon fibre textiles for composite material applications. From global locations, Sigmatex supplies woven carbon fibre textiles including 3D, spread tow, recycled, unidirectional, multiaxial, and standard (2D) woven solutions across a broad spread of industries, ranging from the world’s high volume automotive manufacturers to performance leisure brands and most of the world’s major aerospace companies.

In all cases, Sigmatex helps our customers to achieve improved product performance through realising the many benefits offered through adoption of carbon fibre technology including weight reduction, corrosion resistance, higher strength and stiffness and improved visual appeal. Sigmatex was established in 1986 and has specialised in helping customers create cutting-edge carbon fibre products since then.

Providing advice about how to benefit from carbon fibre

Sigmatex provides advice to its customers about how to gain maximum benefit from using carbon fibre. Products that may previously have been designed and manufactured from metals are now being replaced by carbon fibre; carbon fibre textiles are an enabling technology and can open up new ways of designing improved products to achieve higher technical performance through lightweight strength. Sigmatex’s customers generally don’t have their own textile experts, so Sigmatex can be part of a customer’s design team. For many applications, carbon fibre can mean lower whole life costs than using traditional materials, due to benefits such as reduced energy costs.

Independence means flexibility

Sigmatex’s independence means that it can advise on what is genuinely the best solution for a customer’s requirements, offering a variety of technologies for composite products, sourcing different fibres if required.
