Why Composite Factory?

Originally established as Fibreworks Composites in 2009 by Guenther Steiner and Joe Hofmann, we grew to become the largest privately‑owned composite manufacturer in the U.S. In 2009, we launched Composite Factory, an AS9100 / ISO‑certified sister company serving the Aerospace, Aero Structures, Aviation, Defense, and Medical industries—sectors that demand the highest levels of traceability, certification, and quality. Now fully operating under the Composite Factory name, we have united our teams, experience, and capabilities under one brand.
