Assurance approval for ISO/TS 16949,
becoming the first carbon composite
material supplier to achieve this goal. The
Group’s ambition is to support the
automotive industry in its drive to adopt
lightweight, environmentally friendly
technology.
This achievement paves the way to
widening the Group’s existing scope of
supply of advanced composites materials
into the global automotive industry,
underlining an existing strategy to
introduce cost-effective solutions that
deliver benefits to a wider audience.
Qualifying for ISO/TS 16949 has always
been a prerequisite to ACG’s goal of
supplying its materials into rapidly
growing global automotive businesses
and it is, therefore, with great pleasure
that the Group can now publicly
acknowledge that it has been rewarded
for its continuous improvement activities
at its Heanor, Derbyshire, UK facility.
improvements and the process
modifications required to achieve
certification.
The award enhances and underlines the
Group’s commitment to delivering best
practice support to the varied market
sectors served. While ACG’s global
operations are already accredited to
ISO9001, the Group’s Heanor, Tulsa, and
Manchester facilities are complemented
by aerospace best practice accreditation to
AS9100. The Group’s efforts to attain
ISO/TS 16949 accreditation will continue
with full proliferation across all sites.
The Group considers attainment of this
standard as an opportunity to bring about
major improvements within its
composites market supply chain, as well as
taking the company one step closer to
reaching its goal in business excellence
and becoming a world-class composites
solutions provider, a vision that is etched
into the Group’s global mission statement.
ACG Secures 3-Year Supply Agreement with Southern Spars
This achievement follows considerable
team effort and a growing enthusiasm for
the benefits accrued in the use of the
prescribed tools and techniques
encompassed in the standard. Credit goes
to all employees actively engaged on the

ACG’s MTM®44-1 Out-Of-Autoclave Successes
Out-Of-Autoclave (OOA) advanced
composite prepreg material from ACG
reached two significant milestones in late
2008. MTM®44-1, a 130 to 180°C (266 to
355°F) cure, high performance, toughened
epoxy matrix attained Airbus qualification
for structural applications and successfully
completed testing on the first sub-scale
wing box demonstrator for ‘ALCAS’
(Advanced Low Cost Aircraft Structures), a
research programme aimed at validating
designs and technologies for lower cost
aircraft structures.
MTM44-1 has been optimised for low
pressure vacuum-bag processing to
provide low internal void content, with the
resulting composite performances being
comparable to those of standard autoclave
cured systems.
OOA moulding offers benefits such as
reduced capital equipment outlay and
savings on certain associated processing
costs. This technology may also facilitate
the manufacture of larger and more
integrated structures that would
otherwise be excluded by their size and
the prohibitive significant investment
required for in-autoclave processing.
MTM44-1 gained Airbus qualification in
tape and fabric prepreg formats, with
these products now actively being
promoted for applications on a range of
Airbus aircraft. Airbus and ACG have
underpinned the qualification of MTM44-
1 by signing a framework contract that
will provide commercial and technical
stability to Airbus sub-contractors
adopting this new technology over the
coming years.
The successful testing of MTM44-1 on the
wing box demonstrator further
demonstrated the capability of this next
generation OOA material. This was
achieved as part of an Airbus and Dassault
Aviation led, 101m€ EU-funded
programme aimed at validating the
designs and technologies for lower cost
aircraft structures.
ACG designed and manufactured the
lower cover of a structural wing box
demonstrator, which was then used by
four other partners (Alenia, Dassault
Aviation, SAAB and Stork Fokker AESP) to
complete the structure using different
materials, designs and manufacturing
options. The initial demonstrator failed at
10% over the specified design ultimate
load, thereby proving the effectiveness of
the materials, designs and technologies
