Training the next generation of engineers is at the top of the agenda for Velocity Composites
In line with its core mission to reduce operational costs for customers, Velocity Composites( Velocity) provides supply chain optimization and engineered raw material kit manufacturing designed to minimize all forms of waste in the composites supply chain. Today, the company stands as the leading supplier of composite material kits for aerospace and other high-performance manufacturers. Oliver Smalley, Chief Operating Officer, discusses how Velocity operates.
“ Based on a fantastic business model, our unique selling point lies in our flexibility; we are not tied to any specific raw material or provider, allowing us to accommodate different customer needs across the whole composite supply chain. We deliver value by utilizing our market-leading processes and software, which we designed and optimized in-house. These processes and software controls optimize the entire supply chain, from long term raw material planning through to kit manufacturing and logistics, enabling us to manage all aspects of the front-end composite manufacturing process for our customers. This in turn allows our clients to focus on aerospace part manufacture, safe in the knowledge that whatever their operational plan requires, the raw material kits will be available in a lean and efficient form. As a result, we not only enhance raw material yield but also reduce process waste in all forms, which aligns with both commercial and ESG strategies, while delivering to customers a reduced total cost of manufacture. For our aerospace composite products, we apply an innovative packaging solution which matches the sequence of build for our customers, with all necessary parts for each build step in a separate packaging to preserve product integrity. In addition to the structural materials that form the finished item, Velocity also applies the same logic to the process materials that are consumed during
