It spans 10,000 square metres and features enclosed manufacturing areas that create the optimum conditions for carbon fibre manufacturing. We have several temperature, humidity and pressure controlled rooms for material storage, cutting, lamination and painting, that ensures our masts are the highest quality. Our autoclave, at 55 metres long, is the second longest in the Southern Hemisphere and our paint booth at 65 metres long, is the longest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernspars.com\/why-southern\/quality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Our quality standards<\/a>\u00a0are extremely high.
