CompositesWorld’s 2026 Top Shops Benchmarking Survey Closes April 10
Join hundreds of participating composites fabricators for actionable industry insights that will improve your business.
CompositesWorld’s 2026 Top Shops Benchmarking Survey will open February 1. First introduced in 2015, the Top Shops program empowers composites businesses with essential tools to compare their core performance metrics against peers in the industry.
Participating in the survey gives fabricators valuable insights to pinpoint top-tier shop floor techniques, streamline operations and refine business strategies. With hundreds of operations participating annually, Top Shops generates a treasure trove of actionable data and trends.
Participating companies receive a tailored report to spotlight strengths and opportunities in areas like manufacturing processes and capabilities; quality control and inspection methods; operational metrics and efficiency; business strategies and performance; workforce development; and technology adoption.
New to 2026, companies that participate will have access to results in an online dashboard format, rather than receiving a PDF report by email.
Beyond the personalized insights, those who hit our established benchmarks earn the CW Top Shops designation and will be celebrated in the pages of CW magazine and online.
The 2026 Top Shops Benchmarking Survey will remain open until April 10, 2026. Don’t wait — take the survey now!
