Toray Composite Materials

What Toray Composite Materials does

Toray Composite Materials America, Inc. (CMA) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toray Industries, Inc. and a vertically integrated manufacturer of carbon fiber and thermoset prepreg composite materials headquartered in Tacoma, Washington. The company operates three US production sites — Tacoma, WA (prepreg manufacturing), Decatur, AL (carbon fiber production), and Spartanburg, SC (integrated precursor-to-prepreg facility) — plus a Dallas, TX sales office, supporting its role as a major North American exporter. Its product portfolio centers on the TORAYCA™ carbon fiber family (T300, T700S/G, T800H/S, T1000G, T1100G/S, and M35J through M60J high-modulus grades) and a comprehensive prepreg system lineup (2510, 2511, 2700, 3900, 3960, 4000, plus industrial/sports G-series resins and ancillary products), serving aerospace primary structures, defense, space, advanced air mobility, industrial, automotive, and sports/recreation applications.

The company's commercial model is B2B direct sales with dedicated market contacts organized by vertical segment (aerospace, defense, general industrial, sports, automotive/transportation) and by region, complemented by technical service support and trade-show presence at SAMPE, JEC World, and Farnborough. Pricing is quote-based under multi-year contracts, with periodic price increases and surcharges. Aerospace certification — including AS9100 (multi-site, zero findings), Nadcap accreditation at two plants, NCAMP qualification for the 3960 system, Boeing Approved Source status, and ISO 14001 environmental management — underpins its position as a qualified supplier to Boeing for the 777, 787, and 777X programs, and to other aerospace, defense, and industrial customers. Revenue is not publicly disclosed as the entity reports only through its parent conglomerate.

In 2026, CMA underwent a planned CEO transition with Teruyuki Sakimon succeeding Dennis Frett, secured a five-year supply agreement with Syensqo SA, achieved NCAMP qualification for the 3960 next-generation prepreg system, earned multi-site AS9100 certification, and partnered with Convergent Manufacturing Technologies to launch RAVEN Explorer cure simulation — collectively reinforcing its competitive position in aerospace-grade composites while signaling incremental expansion into digital engineering, advanced air mobility, and thermoplastic composite systems.
