Our Story
IACMI is one of 17 Manufacturing USA institutes created to help revitalize U.S. manufacturing. We convene to share ideas and successes and connect those possessing innovative concepts with those who can help achieve their realization. Then we catalyze advancement and commercialization by facilitating these technology projects and developing the workforce able to carry them out.
To realize the benefits of composite technology, our industry needs composites manufacturing that is more cost-, material- and energy-efficient, and that assesses recyclability and sustainability through its entire life cycle. Through our member network, IACMI promotes research and development programs designed to reduce technical risk and develop a robust supply chain for our growing advanced composites industry.
We also recognize the urgency of building up a skilled workforce to support growth of composites companies of all sizes. To this end, IACMI broadly engages educational, economic development, trade, and professional organizations.
Organizations of any size can join IACMI through a scaled membership. Once a part of IACMI, members can benefit from participating in projects, networking with other IACMI members, and participating in workforce development opportunities to meet organizational needs.
