Carbon fibre offers “unparalleled results” in metal replacement, says UK moulder

Manufacturer of plastic moulded products, Stewart Group Holdings, is now using carbon fibre for its injection-moulded products, which it says is giving “unparalleled results” in metal replacement across a number of industries.

Having recently gained certification to the ISO/TS16949 standard, the company says manufacturing with carbon-filled plastics will enable it to produce a wide range of replacement parts, including components with thermal and electrical insulation properties across industries including aerospace, automotive and technical mouldings.

Carbon fibre mouldings produced at Stewart Group Holdings’ Banbury factory will be stable, heat resistant and robust. The company says clients will also enjoy the benefits of greater design flexibility.

Jim Metcalf, Technical Sales Manager at Stewart Group Holdings, said: “Our carbon fibre moulding capability improves our offering to all types of businesses, especially automotive and Engineering OEMs. As well as the expertise to manufacture in carbon fibre, Stewart Group Holdings provides full design, FEA and development support.”
