Global Top 20 Composites Companies 2013:
Competitive Landscape Analysis for Glass
Fibre, Carbon Fibre & Aramid Fibre
4.24.1 Overview
Zoltek is a leading US applied technology and advanced materials company specializing in carbon
fibre production. Zoltek is seen to be a leader in finding innovative ways to use composite
technology especially that of carbon fibre. Evidence of this is that Zoltek was the first company to
create wind turbines and carbon fibre on a commercial scale. Since Zolteks work in this field
electrical generation turbines are now synonymous with carbon fibre and composite materials.
Zoltek still remains key in this energy generation market through specific long term supply
arrangements with two of the largest wind turbine manufacturers in Europe. Zoltek also produces
large amounts of custom carbon fibre to be used specifically for new generations wind turbines
under the trade name Panex.

4.24.2 Location and Operations
Not solely focusing on the use of carbon fibre in wind energy, Zoltek also manufactures
intermediate products composed of technical fibres. PYRON is the trademarked name which
Zoltek uses for their internally developed technical fibre. This specific fibre is a stabilized and
oxidized acrylic fibre used when both flame and heat resistance is needed. Zoltek has spent over
15 years in developing PYRON and the proprietary technology and manufacturing process.
Through Zoltek’s 6 production facilities located primarily in the US Zoltek, with two of these
facilities based in Hungary and Mexico Zoltek believes that they have the largest production
capacity focused on producing low cost technical carbon fibre for commercial applications. Zoltek
has established its self as a leading carbon fibre producers while maintaining a relatively domestic
production base. Zoltek achieves its global reach through 6 sales offices located strategically in
China, Hungary, India, South Korea and the US.

4.24.3 Outlook
We view Zoltek as a potential rising star. Zoltek has clearly identified the international markets
where high growth potential exists and we expected their focus to stay in these areas in the short
run. Zoltek has recently been seen to be expanding its sales force and marketing efforts within
South East Asia. While still a comparatively small company in contrast to the Multinational
Japanese firms, Zoltek is a much younger firm with a niche specialization. We would expect Zoltek
to be looking to expand on its wind turbine technology for which it is highly regarded and possibly
be further funding its research and development division in order to create the next PYRON and
Panex.

Global Top 20 Composites Companies 2013:
Competitive Landscape Analysis for Glass
Fibre, Carbon Fibre & Aramid Fibre
6. Expert Opinion
6.1 Expert – Mr. Roosevelt, Director for Planning – Reinforced Plastics
Industries
6.1.1 What would say are the key trends and developments in the
composites industry right now?
Mr. Roosevelt: Hybrids, especially mixes between carbon and glass, Kevlar and glass. Also
Quartz.

6.1.2 What are these hybrids being used for, which industries are using
these cross over’s and hybrids?
The aerospace industry is the largest user of these composite materials. Yes, we are seeing the
greatest demand from the aerospace participants.

6.1.3 The aerospace industry is causing the majority of demand for
composites at the moment, are you seeing any demand from other
industries such as that of automotive?
We ourselves mainly work within the aerospace sector as that is the biggest use of composites.
There is some demand for composites within the automotive industries but not on the scale that is
seen within the aerospace industries.

6.1.4 Within the industry, how are these composites used?
Carbon, Glass and Kevlar based composites are specifically used within the wings of planes and
jets and bulkheads for the aerospace industry. Within the automotive industries these composites
are primarily used for dashboards. Of late and possibly no more because it is relatively old these
composites are used as load springs. Kevlar is widely used. Where ever a material is subjected to
high temperatures of both extremes, negative and positive degrees Kevlar will be used.

  • 19. Global Top 20 Composites Companies 2013: Competitive Landscape Analysis for Glass Fibre, Carbon Fibre & Aramid Fibre 4.24.1 Overview Zoltek is a leading US applied technology and advanced materials company specializing in carbon fibre production. Zoltek is seen to be a leader in finding innovative ways to use composite technology especially that of carbon fibre. Evidence of this is that Zoltek was the first company to create wind turbines and carbon fibre on a commercial scale. Since Zolteks work in this field electrical generation turbines are now synonymous with carbon fibre and composite materials. Zoltek still remains key in this energy generation market through specific long term supply arrangements with two of the largest wind turbine manufacturers in Europe. Zoltek also produces large amounts of custom carbon fibre to be used specifically for new generations wind turbines under the trade name Panex. 4.24.2 Location and Operations Not solely focusing on the use of carbon fibre in wind energy, Zoltek also manufactures intermediate products composed of technical fibres. PYRON is the trademarked name which Zoltek uses for their internally developed technical fibre. This specific fibre is a stabilized and oxidized acrylic fibre used when both flame and heat resistance is needed. Zoltek has spent over 15 years in developing PYRON and the proprietary technology and manufacturing process. Through Zoltek’s 6 production facilities located primarily in the US Zoltek, with two of these facilities based in Hungary and Mexico Zoltek believes that they have the largest production capacity focused on producing low cost technical carbon fibre for commercial applications. Zoltek has established its self as a leading carbon fibre producers while maintaining a relatively domestic production base. Zoltek achieves its global reach through 6 sales offices located strategically in China, Hungary, India, South Korea and the US. 4.24.3 Outlook We view Zoltek as a potential rising star. Zoltek has clearly identified the international markets where high growth potential exists and we expected their focus to stay in these areas in the short run. Zoltek has recently been seen to be expanding its sales force and marketing efforts within South East Asia. While still a comparatively small company in contrast to the Multinational Japanese firms, Zoltek is a much younger firm with a niche specialization. We would expect Zoltek to be looking to expand on its wind turbine technology for which it is highly regarded and possibly be further funding its research and development division in order to create the next PYRON and Panex. www.visiongain.com Page 96

  • 21. Global Top 20 Composites Companies 2013: Competitive Landscape Analysis for Glass Fibre, Carbon Fibre & Aramid Fibre 6. Expert Opinion 6.1 Expert – Mr. Roosevelt, Director for Planning – Reinforced Plastics Industries 6.1.1 What would say are the key trends and developments in the composites industry right now? Mr. Roosevelt: Hybrids, especially mixes between carbon and glass, Kevlar and glass. Also Quartz. 6.1.2 What are these hybrids being used for, which industries are using these cross over’s and hybrids? The aerospace industry is the largest user of these composite materials. Yes, we are seeing the greatest demand from the aerospace participants. 6.1.3 The aerospace industry is causing the majority of demand for composites at the moment, are you seeing any demand from other industries such as that of automotive? We ourselves mainly work within the aerospace sector as that is the biggest use of composites. There is some demand for composites within the automotive industries but not on the scale that is seen within the aerospace industries. 6.1.4 Within the industry, how are these composites used? Carbon, Glass and Kevlar based composites are specifically used within the wings of planes and jets and bulkheads for the aerospace industry. Within the automotive industries these composites are primarily used for dashboards. Of late and possibly no more because it is relatively old these composites are used as load springs. Kevlar is widely used. Where ever a material is subjected to high temperatures of both extremes, negative and positive degrees Kevlar will be used. www.visiongain.com Page 120
