ResumoThe US composites industry is healthy and growing despite a setback caused by the faltering US economy. The low weight, high strength and durability of reinforced plastics have led to their overall acceptance in the market as US manufacturers continue to develop new ways to replace traditional materials with composites. While some market segments are down, others are expanding. Richard Stewart reports.
