A Brief Overview of Century Composites
The company was started in 1989
by Dr. Charles Li (Doctorate in Polymer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology
- Atlanta, GA) and Dr. William Drury (Doctorate in Materials Engineering, Georgia
Institute of Technology - Atlanta, GA). Since that time the company
has grown substantially. The first manufacturing plant was constructed
in 1992, and a second was added in 2001. The production facilities total
over 200,000 square feet with approximately 350 employees, including 14 engineers
and 19 quality control technicians.
The Tyrone, GA. headquarters and distribution center was opened in 1999, expanded
in 2001, and again in 2004. The current Tyrone complex totals 108,000
square feet in three buildings with additional storage available outside if needed.
Century Composites began manufacturing fiberglass grating in 1994 and added FRP fittings
in 1995. Current product lines are being broadened to include a
wider range of components in more resin types.
Custom components are a significant part of our business, and one which is growing
rapidly based on our unique blend of fiberglass capabilities and injection molded
thermoplastics. All tooling is done in house, keeping the costs down, quality up,
and the project on target.
