For decades, Southern Spars has applied its expertise in advanced carbon fibre composites to some of the world’s most demanding industries. Alongside our renowned marine heritage, we manufacture precision composite structures for aerospace, satellite, defence and other high-performance industrial applications.
Combining advanced engineering, AS9100-certified manufacturing and extensive experience with complex composite structures, we help customers develop lightweight, high-strength solutions that meet exacting technical requirements.
Our aerospace capabilities are built on the same commitment to innovation, precision and quality that has defined Southern Spars from the beginning.
Filament Winding
We tension and impregnate dry fibre materials, such as carbon, aramid, or fiberglass, before applying them to a rotating tool. This semiautonomous process reduces costs and ensures consistent, high-performance parts. We also offer design support and custom composite specifications tailored to your needs.
Composite Component Manufacturing
In-Autoclave (IA) Curing enhances composite strength and durability using a high-pressure, high-temperature chamber. Out-of-Autoclave (OOA) Curing provides a versatile, cost-effective alternative, composite manufacturing without the need for high-pressure equipment.
Paint Booth Oven
Our 60-metre paint booth ensures high-quality finishes with precise control of temperature, pressure, and humidity. We offer various finishes, including clear coats, matte, gloss, and metallic, to meet all customer aesthetic and performance needs.
