| CST Composites Partner with Composites CRC |
| |
In line with CST's dedication to continuous technological development, it has entered into a partnership with Composites CRC (CRC-ACS - Cooperative Research Centre for Advanced Composite Structures), joining the CRC-ACS Associate Membership program in October 2009. Composites CRC have years of experience in composites design, analysis, manufacture and testing, and is one of the world's leading composites research organisations.
Under the 'Researchers in Business’ program a CRC-ACS engineer will be resident part-time at CST, assisting in new product and market development. Integrating CRC-ACS's extensive design knowledge and manufacturing expertise into the CST production environment enhances CST's capabilities in their drive to be constantly creating new and high performing products.
Current projects include high-precision rods and structural composites for civil infrastructure. |

| CST offers a wide range of standard round tubing ranging in sizes from 10mm to 200mm diameter. We can also produce custom tubing up to 800mm diameter and 11 meters in length. |
| |
| Today the company runs three filament winding machines and three pultrusion machines giving a production capacity capability of more than 20 tonnes of composite per year. |
| |
| CST is now the largest user of carbon tow in Australia and New Zealand. Our tubes and profiles are exported worldwide with significant markets in Europe, USA, China and Asia. |
