Pultruded composites manufacturer Exel Composites’ (Vantaa, Finland) joint venture Kineco Exel Composites India (KECI, Goa, India) has reached volume production capacity at its new Banda facility. The factory is purpose-built to serve the wind energy sector, expanding Exel’s existing delivery capability in other regions. Following testing throughout 2024 and 2025, the site is now fully operational with dedicated lines for carbon fiber products used in turbine blades.

Completed in 2024, the plant was developed by Exel Composites and long-standing partner Kineco Group (Goa, India), with its machinery and layout specifically tailored for high-volume production of carbon fiber components. The first full customer approvals have been achieved, and the volume shipments of carbon fiber flats have started, marking the start of sustained deliveries to major wind energy manufacturers in the region.
