Awards for Composites Excellence (ACE), a prestigious composites industry competition, recognizes outstanding achievement and innovation in technology, manufacturing and product development.
AWARD CATEGORIES
ACE recognizes the best submissions in three categories: design, manufacturing, and market growth. Each year, six awards are bestowed annually at CAMX – The Composites and Advanced Materials Expo
Innovation in Green Composites Design
This award is presented to the composites product that best exemplifies innovation that lowers or minimizes the environmental footprint or offers an attractive life cycle assessment (LCA) of the product.
Most Creative Application
This award is presented to the composites product that showcases composites use in a unique, new application or uses composites’ attributes in imaginative, innovative, or artistic ways.
Equipment and Tooling Innovation
This award is presented to the equipment, tooling, production aid, or software that is designed to improve manufacturing production, environmental sustainability, or product quality and performance in composites manufacturing.
Material and Process Innovation
This award is presented for a material or process that best contributes to efficient manufacturing and product sustainability.
Composites Sustainability
This award is presented to the composites product that clearly demonstrates an improvement in the environmental impact of the products use.
Infinite Possibility for Market Growth
This award is presented to the composites product that demonstrates the potential to significantly increase the use of composites in existing markets or generate the greatest impact to open new and emerging markets for composites.
