Founded in 2006, Coexpair (Namur, Belgium) introduces itself as a reference in Europe for net-shape composites manufacturing solutions. Its engineering services support development of innovative part architectures, advanced RTM and SQRTM processes and optimal production equipment for composite aerostructures, with automation at their core. Coexpair’s EN9100 advanced composites shop is dedicated to material coupons, test elements, proof of concept or pre-serial parts.
Today, Coexpair says it works for some of the largest aerospace OEM and Tier 1s globally, including Airbus and Safran. Coexpair is also the partner of Radius Engineering USA (Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.), aligning the development of out-of-autoclave solutions for aerostructures.
Coexpair designs and builds RTM workstations including clamping and heating systems, injection systems and tools. The company has developed a local and solid supply chain for the manufacturing of its equipment. On a daily basis, Coexpair’s team follows the subcontracting activities of major part and assembles and tests them in its assembly hall in Belgium. The partnership with Radius Engineering ensures customers are provided the same high quality and reliability worldwide.
Coexpair’s presses, injections system and mold solutions are popular in the European aerospace market, demonstrated in Spirit AeroSystem’s A320 spoilers project where the Coexpair team developed, industrialized and installed mold tools and workstations for their production in Prestwick, U.K.
Coexpair says it further drives the future of composites manufacturing through strategic research, development and innovation (R&D&I). Its mission is to continuously develop and refine high-impact technologies, processes and solutions that meet the evolving needs of the industry. Each year, Coexplair leads and collaborates on applied R&D&I projects of strategic importance with public and private partners, both nationally and internationally. These initiatives deliver cutting-edge innovations that enhance the company’s capabilities and contribute to industry progress.
