Web Industries Inc. (Marlborough, Mass., U.S. and Nantes, France) is increasing its thermoset composite slitting capacity at its European Center of Excellence in Nantes. A new slitting line will become operational in May 2026, expanding the site’s ability to supply high?quality slit thermoset tapes for advanced aerospace manufacturing.

The added capacity strengthens Web Industries’ ability to meet growing demand and support high?rate production for major European aerospace programs.

The new line follows the established production approach and quality expectations in place at the Nantes site, ensuring consistent performance and controlled processes required for aerospace applications. Nantes serves as Web Industries’ European platform for preparing thermoset and thermoplastic composite (TPC) materials, including cutting, kitting and slitting services that support current and next?gen aerospace and space programs.

“This investment strengthens our ability to support European series production with the reliability and proximity today’s aerospace supply chain requires,” says John Madej, president and CEO of Web Industries.
