ReForm Composites, Inc.
Scaling high-performance CFRTP composites for every industry
Our Story
ReForm Composites was founded to address a gap in composite manufacturing. While advanced thermoplastic composites offered clear advantages in durability, sustainability, and adaptability, they remained difficult and expensive to produce at scale. Existing processes limited adoption and kept these materials from widespread, real world use.
ReForm was created to change that. By developing Continuous Forming technology, the company introduced a practical, scalable approach to manufacturing long fiber thermoplastic composites. This approach removed long standing barriers related to cost, throughput, and manufacturability, enabling consistent production of structural composite profiles.
Today, ReForm Composites supports customers from concept through deployment, combining engineering, validation, equipment development, production, and training. The company focuses on translating advanced composite materials into manufacturable solutions for infrastructure, construction, defense, and industrial markets.
Our mission is to reform composites.
The Future is ReFormable.
