National Composites Week Slated for August 24 \u2013 28, 2020 <\/em><\/p>\n

This August<\/em>, the composites industry will once again come together for National Composites Week<\/strong>, providing a unique opportunity for all of us to celebrate everything that the broad composites industry offers. From materials that meet the needs of today and tomorrow, and products that last and solve problems, to providing the latest in new technology for a variety of market segments \u2013 composites represent innovation in a number of forms.<\/p>\n

Our industry is no stranger to finding solutions to major societal issues. Decades ago, composite stack liners helped mitigate America\u2019s acid rain crisis. We made America\u2019s boats, trucks, and cars more fuel efficient and resistant to rust and other degradation. We enable wind and solar energy to reduce our carbon footprint. We make strong, blast resistant protective equipment to keep our soldiers safe. The list of successes goes on and on, but the list of what more we can do is even longer. The world needs to know the story of the greatest materials they don\u2019t know they can\u2019t live without.<\/p>\n

ACMA members are in a unique position to showcase our industry\u2019s abilities and many are doing so already. Whether it\u2019s hosting a plant tour for a Member of Congress to showcase how policies enacted in Washington affect daily operations or collaborating with OEMs to provide design solutions that will be passed on to the consumer, the work of our members helps elevate the profile of composites and provides options and choices to consumers.<\/p>\n

Now, National Composites Week provides us with a vehicle to tell that story to an even larger audience, and to educate them on the myriad of options composites can provide.<\/p>\n

In order to tell a broader audience about all the great things we already know about composites, we encourage your company to participate in a variety of ways, including:<\/p>\n
