What Nammo Composite Solutions does

Nammo Composite Solutions LLC (NCS) is a Salt Lake City, Utah-based composites manufacturer founded in the mid-1990s as an industrial pipe filament winder and acquired by Norwegian defense group Nammo AS in 2009, at which point it became the parent company's composites center of excellence. The company operates from a single 90,000-square-foot facility and employs approximately 100 people, producing out-of-autoclave (OOA) carbon fiber composite components — most notably launch tubes for Nammo's M72 shoulder-fired rocket system and composite aircraft interior parts for commercial aerospace customers — using proprietary OOA processing and filament winding techniques.

Its core technology stack is built on OOA composite manufacturing and filament winding, which together enable complex part geometries without the capital expense and throughput constraints of autoclave curing. This process discipline produces a 0.2% scrap rate, reflecting precision manufacturing at aerospace tolerances, and supports diverse applications from defense launch tubes to athletic equipment.

NCS operates a project-based, custom-manufacturing business model: revenue is generated through one-time B2B contracts with defense contractors and aerospace manufacturers via direct enterprise field sales and standard RFQ/procurement processes, with no recurring revenue streams disclosed. Primary customer segments are defense and military (anchored by parent Nammo's M72 program) and commercial aerospace manufacturers; in late 2025 the company added a third segment — elite sports technology — through a partnership with USA Bobsled & Skeleton for carbon fiber skeleton sled components. The company earned Composites World Top Shops recognition in 2025 and is currently investing in facilities, equipment, and workforce to support anticipated production ramp-ups.
