JEC Composites Magazine is the point of contact of the international Composites Community, 6 times a year, with topics covering scientific information, business, technology, manufacturing, and application sectors trends.
In each and every issue, readers will learn about the entire composites industry value chain (from raw materials to application markets), and be inspired with current and future innovations.
The six sections of the magazine consist in:
- NEWS: with interviews, articles about business development (M&As, appointments, partnerships and collaborations, awards etc.).
- BUSINESS: with articles covering trends and markets, focusing on a specific country or region, with the composites market, or the application markets, or the companies strategies etc. in that country or region, and a startup focus.
- MANUFACTURING: with articles about production processes and processing equipment.
- FEATURE: an in-depth overview of a specific topic (typically an application sector), plus a JEC World Preview in April/May and Review in June/July.
- SOLUTIONS: composites around us, with articles showing how composite materials are being used in applications which impact our everyday lives.
- TECHNOLOGY: with articles about developments in materials, testing and control, repair, joining, design and simulation, recycling and reuse, R&D.
Enjoy your reading!
