Composite Resources

What Composite Resources does

Composite Resources, operating as Re:Build Composite Resources, is a precision thermoset composite manufacturing company founded in 1992 by Jonathan Bennett and headquartered in a 60,000-square-foot facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The company provides vertically integrated composite manufacturing services from concept through serial production, including design and engineering, lamination, autoclave and out-of-autoclave curing, tooling design and production, structural bonding and assembly, filament winding (up to 12 feet), resin transfer molding (dual-actuation press with 4'x12' envelope), press molding, roll wrapping, CNC composite machining, and painting/finishing (CARC, EMI shielding, polyurea). It is ITAR compliant and holds ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 certifications, with primary customer emphasis on commercial aerospace and military/defense end markets and additional served industries including space and satellite, unmanned applications, medical, industrial, transportation, SATCOM, and eVTOL.

The company monetizes through project-based custom manufacturing engagements, moving customers from scoping and rough-order-of-magnitude pricing through prototyping, tooling, and serial production. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per project by an in-house estimating team based on scope, complexity, materials, and volumes. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise sales with engineering teams embedded from project inception, supported by a website, LinkedIn presence, and email newsletter. The company was acquired by Re:Build Manufacturing, LLC in 2021 and now operates as a portfolio company within that diversified engineering and manufacturing platform, retaining its original brand identity.
