Southern California is considered by many to be the
birthplace of the advancedcomposites industry over 50
years ago. The local aircraft industry was pushedto its
limits in World War II to come up with engineered
materials that werestronger, lighter and able to give
U.S. pilots air superiority over the AxisPowers--as a
result of that focused research, advanced composite
materials(ACMs) were created. Today, composites have
achieved wide use in all marketsectors--from golf club
shafts, high-performance mountain bikes,
Snowboards,electric vehicles to even the retrofitting of
bridges damaged in recentearthquakes.
"In regards to timing and location, we c onsider
this an internationalbusiness event and that it's a
perfect fit with the Southern Californiacomposites
industry. Globally, the composites industry is projected
to grow 6%annually from now until the year 2000--with
total annual demand projected toreach $175 billion. Fifty
percent of the growth in the California economy overthe
past two years can be traced to the expansion of
international tradeactivities. Our goal at the Cerritos
Composites Technology Center is to helpCalifornia
businesses get to the future first and stake out a
position of global leadership in the composites
industry."
