aircraft components made from advanced composite materials,

engineered products that reduce life cycle costs. For aircraft
manufacturers and their major system suppliers, Comtek provides

The use of advanced composites on new aircraft designs is
rapidly increasing due to their light weight, reduced part
count, good fatigue properties and resistance to corrosion. As

operators and manufacturers with cost-effective services that
emphasize creativity, responsiveness and flexibility in meeting
the needs of dynamic markets.

Technology:
As an advanced technology company, Comtek has an active
technology development program that supports the company€™s
strategic need for new products and processes and for the
evaluation of newly-developed material systems that can be used
in new products. This will require continued technology
innovation and ongoing partnerships with customers, universities
and government research and development centres, so that the
company maintains its competitive advantage.
Comtek€™s Technology Development Committee, which is chaired by
the Vice President, periodically evaluates and prioritizes all
company development activities. Some of these activities are
done in-house, but many are collaborative programs with other
companies such as Bombardier, academic institutions such as
Carleton University, and government research organizations such
as the Canadian National Research Council.
Activities are focussed on products and processes for
application in the relatively short term. Comtek monitors
state-of-the-art research conducted around the world through
timely review of the relevant technical and scientific
publications and by attending technical conferences.
