Triac Composites

What Triac Composites does

Triac Composites is a Vietnam-based advanced composite manufacturer operating from a 3,000m² facility in Ho Chi Minh City, founded in 2014 and owned by Australian/Canadian principals. The company produces high-performance carbon fiber structures using prepreg carbon fiber layup, autoclave curing (8.5m x 1.9m), and a 7-axis KUKA robotic machining cell on a 23-meter track, supported by in-house tooling, FEA/CFD/FSI engineering analysis, and a clean room and paint booth under ISO 9001:2015 quality systems.

The business serves four primary verticals: marine (performance sailing trimarans, foiling components, electric foiling ferries), defense (UAV components with up to 17-meter wingspan), industrial (mining ventilation tubes and wheel covers, train interiors), and architectural facades. Its flagship output is the exclusive manufacturing of the full Rapido trimaran range (40', 50', 53', 60', 63'), including the lightweight Rapido 40 Racer (4,500 kg) and the Rapido 500 ECO electric power catamaran, both for sister companies Rapido Trimarans and Rapido Catamarans. Designs are developed in partnership with naval architects Morrelli & Melvin, leveraging America's Cup-grade engineering.

Revenue is generated through project-based custom manufacturing contracts quoted individually to enterprise clients, with no public pricing. Sales are led by Marketing and Business Development Director Phil Johns via direct B2B engagement, supplemented by trade show presence at METSTRADE, VIMOX, LIMA, Vietnam Defence Expo, and major international boat shows. Customers span Europe, Southeast Asia, Australasia, and the Americas, with the Rapido sister companies functioning as anchor accounts that drive consistent production volume alongside external contract work.

Core offering

Triac Composites is a Vietnam-based contract manufacturer of advanced carbon fiber composite structures and complete builds. Its core output is the Rapido all-carbon trimaran range (40', 50', 53', 60', 63') and Rapido catamarans, alongside precision composite components such as C foils, spreaderless carbon masts, daggerboards, rudder blades, and structural assemblies. It also delivers custom composite manufacturing services for marine, defense, mining, rail, and architectural clients, including composite plugs and molds, train interiors, mining ventilation tubes and wheel covers, UAV components, and architectural facades.

Product overview

Triac Composites is a world-class advanced composite manufacturing company offering high-performance carbon fiber structures and complete builds. The core product portfolio centers on the Rapido trimaran range (40', 50', 53', 60', and 63') — all-carbon performance multihulls exclusively built by Triac — complemented by the Rapido 500 ECO electric power catamaran. Supporting these vessels, Triac produces precision composite components including C-foils, masts, daggerboards, rudders, beams, and structural parts using prepreg carbon fiber and autoclave curing. The company also offers contract manufacturing services for external clients including train interiors, mining equipment, UAV components, architectural facades, and steel vessel project management. All tooling is produced in-house using a 7-axis KUKA robot on a 23-meter track, enabling total control over quality and design changes.
