Composite Production Projects by Mackay Boats

If you are searching for a quality short-run composite production manufacturer, talk to Mackay’s.

When it’s a question of needing a quality composite production solution, we have some of the best capabilities and industry know-how to deliver the right solution and at competitive rates.

We have been in composite manufacturing for over 45 years, manufacturing high-performance short run production composite products in the marine market. A few years ago we expanded our capabilities to build the foiling Moth and as a result are now able to offer the same high quality short run production skills using a wider range of processes and composite products.

Our point of difference comes from meticulous care and a full suite of composite production resources including:

  • Inhouse Design team

Building top performing boats has led us to develop a highly skilled team of consultants and in-house staff who form our research and development team working together to find the best solutions for each parts and project.

Our composite and process engineers can provide solid modelling of designs and parts for most projects and will ensure the best materials are used under the right conditions with the best processes.

  • Mould Versatility

We can design tooling to be CNC machined either in-house or by one of our partners for match moulded parts, closed mould infused parts or simple vacuum bagged parts.

  • Skilled Composite Manufacturing Team

We have a highly trained composite production team that understands how critical it is to deliver quality products and to do so efficiently. We use -

    • Hand lay wet lamination polyester and epoxy systems.
    • Vacuum bag cores and laminates.
    • Epoxy and Vinylester infusion.
    • Composite match moulding.
    • Heated press up to 3 bar.
    • Pre-preg lamination and cooking up to 120deg.
    • And have Spray painting booths.
  • Assembly Efficiency

Our team are used to taking the composite parts and finishing then assembling them. We can develop and add custom machined, fabricated or printed Aluminium, Stainless Steel and Titanium parts to the composite parts, or even add them into the lamination process.

  • Quality Control

A highly robust quality control system has been developed that measures products at every critical stage in manufacturing to ensure the right specifications are met before entering the next stage. Information is recorded and is also reviewed again at the final inspection before a product leaves the factory. Call us pedantic but we understand just how important quality is to the bottom line.

 

So, if you have an idea, a problem to solve, a product to develop, and need help with its execution, we have the team and capabilities for your project.
