Pentaxia offers world class advanced composite production capabilities.  Whether for prototyping, short-series manufacturing or long term volume (series) production we have the proven capabilities and expertise to exceed our customer expectations.

Laminating resources and facilities enable volume composite component manufacturing including resource capability for one off’s up to 7,500 parts/year.  Several aerospace volume programmes have ongoing and future requirements for up to 25 years, demonstrating our long term commitments to customers.

Specifically, for advanced composites we utilise a minimum of two autoclaves, two industrial ovens and three composite presses.  At Pentaxia, we have developed a sound reputation for our composite tooling and component manufacturing.

With a highly respected machining capability and proven lacquering facilities, if required, we can offer our customers a genuine complete “end to end” service for almost any composite requirements.

Strategically having all production aspects in-house, we can ensure complete control throughout the development and manufacturing phases. In turn this ensures we can deliver a high quality, cost efficient and predictable service to our customers.
