Future Comp

What Future Comp does

Future Comp is a privately held US thermoplastic composites manufacturer founded in 2019 and headquartered in Gunnison, Utah, where it operates from a 266,000 square foot, four-building campus that includes a new 100,000 square foot automated facility added in 2025. The company produces long-fiber carbon-fiber thermoplastic composite parts using its proprietary FUSIONFIBER® process, which is positioned as a 100% recyclable, zero-waste alternative to traditional epoxy thermoset composites. Its manufacturing workflow spans design and engineering, tooling production, automated layup, thermoforming, trimming, consolidation/welding, and finishing, with cited metrics including 0.10mm layup accuracy, a ~20 minute total cycle time, and 300 parts per day capacity at approximately 600% the speed of thermoset methods.

The company sells on a project-based, quote-driven model with collaborative engineering support to enterprise and mid-market manufacturers across automotive/transportation, aerospace/UAV, sporting goods/outdoor recreation, industrial/agriculture, and medical verticals. Named customers include John Deere, Titleist, Trek, Polaris, Chris-Craft, Lift, and Qarbon. The company was founded by Roland Christensen and Jason Christensen (CEO), has 75-100 employees including an 8-member engineering team, and lists Scott Curtis as Chief Process Officer. A single $3 million funding round from Advantage Capital was disclosed in August 2020, and the company operates only domestically, explicitly stating international shipping is not currently available.

Brands

• FUSIONFIBER®: Proprietary process and recipe for creating thermoplastic composite material that is superior to typical epoxy thermoset composites. 100% recyclable, zero-waste, and energy efficient. At end of useful life, FUSIONFIBER® can be recycled into another lightweight, high performance product.

Products and services

• FUSIONFIBER® Thermoplastic Composite Material Proprietary 100% recyclable, zero-waste thermoplastic composite material recipe (and brand) that is superior to typical epoxy thermoset composites and can be recycled at end of useful life into new lightweight, high-performance products. Used as the foundational material in Future Comp's contract-manufactured parts across automotive, aerospace, sporting goods, industrial, and medical applications.
• Thermoplastic Composite Manufacturing Services End-to-end contract manufacturing of long-fiber thermoplastic composite parts, covering composite and tool design (FEA, topology optimization, design for manufacturability, testing/qualification), in-house CNC tooling production (3 vertical CNC mills, 3-axis and 5-axis waterjets), automated tape layup (0.10mm accuracy, <1.5 sec/course), heated-platen thermoforming (PP to PEEK, ~3 min cycle, 100-ton, 51"x58"), 3/5-axis waterjet trimming, heat-and-pressure consolidation/welding for hollow body structures, and finishing (de-flashing, buffing, powder coating/painting, molded-in graphics, laser etching). Delivered to enterprise OEMs across automotive, aerospace, sporting goods, industrial, and medical verticals, with capacity of 300 parts per day and ~20-minute total cycle time.

Direct peers

• Plasan Carbon Composites: Plasan manufactures carbon fiber composite components for automotive OEMs (notably Corvette body panels, Ford Mustang, GM trucks) using both thermoset and thermoplastic processes. Comparable to Future Comp as a contract carbon-fiber composite parts manufacturer serving transportation OEMs with a focus on high-volume lightweighting applications.
• Carbon Revolution: Carbon Revolution designs and manufactures single-piece carbon fiber wheels for automotive OEMs (Ford, Ferrari, GM). Compares to Future Comp's Trek/Titleist sporting-goods and Polaris/automotive carbon composite parts business in material system, customer overlap (premium OEMs), and contract-manufacturing service model.
• CSP Composites Solutions: CSP Composites Solutions provides custom composite manufacturing (thermoset and thermoplastic) for aerospace, defense, and industrial customers with engineering and tooling services. Closely comparable to Future Comp's end-to-end composite manufacturing service offering (design, tooling, layup, finishing) and overlapping customer verticals.

Broad incumbents

• Hexcel Corporation: Hexcel is a leading global manufacturer of advanced composites (carbon fiber, prepregs, honeycomb) primarily serving aerospace and wind energy. Comparable to Future Comp's thermoplastic composite manufacturing for aerospace (Qarbon, ACT ecosystem) and industrial verticals, but operates at substantially larger scale and primarily with thermoset material systems.
• Toray Industries (Advanced Composites Division): Toray is the world's largest carbon fiber producer and a major supplier of thermoplastic composite materials (Toray Cetex®) for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. Comparable to Future Comp's thermoplastic composites business across multiple end-markets but operates as a vertically integrated materials supplier rather than a contract manufacturer.
• Solvay Composite Materials: Solvay supplies advanced polymer and composite materials (including thermoplastic systems) for aerospace, automotive, and industrial markets. Comparable to Future Comp in aerospace and automotive end-markets served, but operates as a materials supplier rather than custom parts manufacturer, with substantially larger R&D and scale.
• Teijin Carbon Fiber / Teijin Composites: Teijin produces carbon fiber, thermoplastic composites (including Tenax® TPCL), and prepregs serving aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods. Comparable to Future Comp's thermoplastic composite product offering and customer base (premium OEMs across transportation and recreation), but with broader material portfolio and global footprint.

Emerging players

• Arris Composites: Arris Composites develops continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite parts using a proprietary high-volume manufacturing process targeting consumer electronics, automotive, and aerospace. Comparable to Future Comp's FUSIONFIBER® value proposition (high-volume thermoplastic composites with performance advantages over thermoset) and serves overlapping end-markets.
• Markforged (Composite Segment): Markforged produces continuous carbon fiber and fiberglass-reinforced 3D printing materials and parts, increasingly serving industrial and aerospace end-uses. Comparable to Future Comp in continuous-fiber composite part manufacturing and end-market overlap, but uses additive manufacturing rather than thermoforming — represents a competing approach to high-performance composite parts production.

Regional players

• Cobra International: Cobra International manufactures carbon fiber composite components for watersports, marine, automotive, and industrial OEMs (Asia-Pacific and global). Comparable to Future Comp's Chris-Craft marine, Polaris powersports, and Trek sporting goods customer engagements in material system, product type, and end-market overlap, but operates primarily in Thailand serving global markets.
